Geo-RelNAV
Relative navigation between two or more moving platforms
A UNIQUE GPS / IMU BASED NAVIGATION SYSTEM
The relative navigation information computed by Geo-RelNAV includes relative position, relative velocity (closure rate), and relative orientation. The Geo-RelNAV system works by transmitting data, through a data link, from the follower units to the leader unit where it is used in the relative computations. Geo-RelNAV provides a variety of ways to connect to a data link including via RS-232 and Ethernet and does not specify a data link type (i.e., TDMA) or operating frequency.
APPLICATIONS:
-
Probe & Drogue
- Boom and Receptacle
- Shipboard Landing
Benefits
- Minimized sensor size and weight to meet payload restrictions
- Available with different grades of IMU’s to support a wide range of application requirements
- Aerial refueling applications: Probe- Drogue and Boom system
- On-Board data logging of all sensors raw and navigation solution data.
- The relative navigation can be provided between one leader and multiple followers
- The system can be upgraded to vision-aided navigation for GPS-denied environments
- Beside relative data, the system can also provide absolute PNT solutions of leader and multiple followers
- Real time navigation and visualization tool for monitoring absolute and relative PNT data on leader and follower units
- Additional aiding sensors, such as barometers, Altitude Heading and Refence Systems (AHRS), odometers, etc., can be integrated
- Includes GPS antenna and cables
- Anti-Jam Antennas are optional
- Additional aiding sensors, such as barometers, Altitude Heading and Refence Systems (AHRS), odometers, etc., can also be integrated
- VYO Real-Time Navigation Visualization Tool as convenient interface to visualize time, position, attitude and related information (TSPI) streamed data
