IXSEA focuses on Octans and Landins at Eurosatory 2006

Posted: 13 June 2006

IXSEA is exhibiting OCTANS, the Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), now Ethernet and wireless compatible and LANDINS inertial navigation system for land navigation at Eurosatory 2006.

OCTANS, with over one thousand users worldwide now comes with Ethernet interface allowing users to connect it to their network.

Any instrument or computer connected to this network will then be able to access its data.

OCTANS is configured with Ethernet compatible repeater software, which allows any Ethernet network connected PC users to configure OCTANS.

If users prefer to configure OCTANS from a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), they can use its new wireless capability.

Moreover, if they require assistance with configuration, IXSEA’s support team is able to look at data and configuration and diagnose or configure any problem simply through the Internet.

On top of these capabilities, OCTANS is able to provide real-time data at 200 Hz refreshing rate and to synchronize on UTC time using PPS and ZDA message from a GPS receiver.

Based on Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, the high-performance OCTANS is an AHRS designed with a complete and autonomous motion sensor which outputs true heading, roll, pitch, acceleration and rate of turn.

This small, portable plug and play system saves valuable time and has become the standard for military, civil and scientific organizations.

LANDINS inertial navigation system, specifically designed for land navigation, provides real-time position and orientation data, even in rough environments.

LANDINS, small and lightweight, gives real-time position outputs with full and accurate data, which drastically reduces post-processing and saves on overall survey time.

Thanks to its high-grade sensors and integrated Kalman filter, GPS drop out and multipath are detected and processed with accuracy. It interfaces with all GPS types and odometers.
