Compact Inertial Navigators

Micro-miniature INS-GNSS navigation for size- and power-constrained unmanned platforms.

Micro-Miniature INS-GNSS

Aeron's inertial navigators combine tri-axial MEMS accelerometers, gyroscopes, and a magnetometer with an integrated multi-constellation GNSS receiver, fused in real time through an Extended Kalman Filter to deliver position, velocity, attitude, and heading — even where GNSS is intermittently degraded.

Our flagship compact navigator, Pollux 3, packs this into a strap-down unit small enough for UAVs, UGVs, and other unmanned systems where size and power are tightly constrained, without giving up near-tactical accuracy.

How Aeron Inertial Navigators Work

Every Aeron navigator fuses inertial and GNSS data through the same Extended Kalman Filter approach — only the sensor grade and configuration change between products.

Engineered for Compact, High-Accuracy Navigation

Core capabilities behind Aeron's micro-miniature inertial navigators.

  • With DriftLocTM

    When satellites vanish in tunnels, urban canyons, or interference zones, it holds an accurate position and true heading by minimising INS drift.

  • Compact, Tiny SWaP

    Miniature 37 (L) × 37 (W) × 15 (H) mm footprint at ~38 g, drawing under 1.5 W — built for size- and power-constrained unmanned platforms.

  • High Accuracy

    1.5 m CEP position accuracy and 0.1 m/s horizontal velocity accuracy (1σ) with integrated multi-constellation GNSS, including jamming and spoofing detection.

  • Lightweight

    Weighs approximately 38 g, suitable for micro-UAV applications while remaining ruggedized for demanding operating environments.

  • High Quality Sensors

    Uses high-quality MEMS gyros for near-tactical performance and usable GNSS-denied performance during short-term outages.

  • MIL Qualified

    Complied to MIL-STD-810G to perform reliably in extreme outdoor environments of temperature and vibration.

  • Rugged Design

    Ruggedized construction built to withstand the shocks and vibration typical of real-world unmanned-platform operation, such as quadcopter landings.

  • Extended Kalman Filter

    Offers near-tactical performance, providing the best estimates of navigation parameters during short-term GNSS outages.

  • Superior Ingress Protection

    IP65 compliant, able to endure water spray and rain — a reliable solution even when externally mounted.

  • Communication

    Standard RS232 and UART TTL interfaces plus SPI/I²C for external airspeed and magnetometer aiding input, for easy integration with autopilot systems and controllers.

Why Aeron's Inertial Navigators?

Aeron Systems designs its navigators around the same SWaP-conscious engineering discipline used across the product line — the Extended Kalman Filter fusion engine is tuned to squeeze near-tactical navigation performance out of a compact, low-power MEMS package, with jamming and spoofing detection built into the GNSS receiver. Each unit is qualified to MIL-STD-810G and rated IP65, so the same rigor that goes into our larger tactical INS systems carries through to the smallest platforms in the family.
