VN-210-S

VN-210-S Overview

The VN-210-S is a tactical-grade, high-performance GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (GNSS/INS) that combines 3-axis gyros, accelerometers, and magnetometers, a tri-band L1/L2/L5/E1/E5a/b GNSS receiver, and advanced Kalman filtering algorithms to provide optimal estimates of position, velocity, and attitude. The VN-210-S is available in a precision-milled, anodized aluminum enclosure. For ultra-low SWaP applications, the VN-210E (Embedded) can be integrated externally with the GNSS receiver found inside the VN-210-S.
