CAST Navigation INS simulators provide precise, realistic and high-rate inertial data for the testing of complex GNSS-aided INS. The systems are designed for optimal performance when the inertial sensor and GNSS receiver are either loosely, tightly or ultra-tightly coupled, or when an INS aiding source can be utilized by any other type of device.
Simulation can be tailored towards a wide range of military vehicle types, including aircraft, UAVs, ground vehicles, surface and subsurface marine platforms, and space-based orbital vehicles. Systems can be operated as a standalone capability, or integrated into a laboratory environment to provide stimulus data.
The versatile systems include an intuitive graphical interface, and allow IMU sensor block output performance characteristics and drift rates to be customized for particular navigation unit or performance modeling parameters. A wide variety of options can be configured to suit specific application requirements, including jamming, interference, terrain obscuration, and additional inertial or RF outputs.
