CompactInertialNavigators

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 (PLX3-N), 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 DriftLoc<sup>TM</sup>
With DriftLocTM

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

Why Aeron's Inertial Navigators?

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.
