GNSS Outage

“Tunnel Guide” Feature for GPS-Aided INS During GNSS Outage

Understanding the Problem Inertial Labs has produced high-accuracy Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) at the world’s best price-performance ratio for years. An INS estimates the position, attitude, and velocity using the gyroscopes and accelerometers inside an inertial measurement unit (IMU). Position accuracy can be significantly improved when the INS is aided by the Global Navigation Satellite
