Advanced Navigation’s Chimera Land Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS) is designed to deliver reliable localization and velocity data in GNSS-denied environments, supporting consistent navigation performance across underground and enclosed operations.
In conditions where traditional methods can be slow, costly, or prone to localization errors, Chimera Land provides a continuous and unambiguous stream of velocity data that enables accurate tracking of movement without dependence on external signals. With demonstrated accuracy of 0.009% error per distance traveled, the system supports dependable vehicle deployment and long-duration operation in complex subsurface environments.
When integrated with an inertial navigation system (INS), the LVS enhances overall navigation stability by mitigating the exponential drift associated with standalone INS use, helping to preserve positioning accuracy over time. This approach reduces reliance on manual processes while contributing to improved operational uptime and more efficient, data-driven underground operations.
