NovAtel Inc.,announced the latest product in its GNSS/INS SPAN product family, the IMU-LCI. The IMU-LCI contains a Northrop Grumman sensor that provides the low noise and stability required for applications requiring precise positioning and attitude.NovAtel’s SPAN (Synchronous Position, Attitude and Navigation) products tightly-couple NovAtel’s precise GNSS technology with highly accurate inertial measurement technology to provide a robust, stable and continuous position, velocity and attitude solution. 

The IMU-LCI is a tactical-grade IMU with fiber-optic gyros and micro-mechanical accelerometers. The low-noise and highly stable sensor characteristics of both the gyros and the accelerometers make this sensor an excellent choice for airborne and ground survey applications. IMU-LCI is compatible with the latest SPAN receiver products, including the SPAN-SE enclosed receiver system and the SPAN-MPPC receiver card-stack. With IMU components manufactured in Europe, and final assembly occurring in Canada, this IMU is not subject to the US-ITAR. Its export requires Canadian export approvals only.  Read More
