Advanced Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) for Reliable Navigation in Challenging Operational Environments
Certus Mini D Rugged miniature dual antenna GNSS-aided INS
Certus Mini D

The Certus Mini D is a rugged IP67-rated GNSS-aided INS that provides accurate and reliable attitude and heading data in a compact package tested to MIL-STD-810H standards for shock, vibration and operating temperature. Combining temperature-calibrated accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers with a dual-antenna GNSS receiver, the sensor features Advanced Navigation’s revolutionary AI-powered fusion algorithm that delivers accuracy levels of up to 10 times that of a traditional Kalman filter. The Mini D can utilize L1/L5 multi-constellation real-time or post-processed RTK positioning for the utmost in accuracy.

The high-performance unit is ideal for a wide range of military drone and robotics applications navigation, georeferencing, stabilization and pointing, and is seamlessly compatible with industry-standard protocols including NMEA 0183 and CANOpen, as well as with ROS 1, ROS 2, and Ardupilot.
