K-INS
Personnel INS & Tracking System
K-INS calculates position of personnel in absence of GPS / GNSS (i.e. indoors, caves, under jamming, etc.) together with attitude and heading angles. It is not affected by magnetic field disturbances or any external conditions. It can either be a subsystem or a stand-alone system with mobile application.
Its advanced features are:
Personnel positioning without GPS / GNSS
Ability to work with GPS / GNSS
Can be used either wireless (BLE 5.0) or wired (USB Micro-B)
Not affected by magnetic interferences
Advanced motion analysis algorithms
Torso mounted, easy assembly
It has a mobile application for stand-alone use:
User Friendly Interface
Various settings and calibration
Options for data fusion with phone’s sensors (GNSS, Magnetometer, etc.)
Real-time visualization on map
Unlike foot-mounted systems, K-INS can be placed on body (torso, waist, etc.)
This greatly improves the safety, practicality and reliability of the system.
Field test results show a much better position and heading accuracy (< 1%).
All test are performed without any magnetometer or GPS correction (pure INS)
Orange Lines: Real Parkours, Blue Lines: K-INS data on the personnel, All units are in meters, Total distances are 223.2 m and 170.4 m respectively
APPLICATIONS
GPS / GNSS Denied (jammed) Environments
Indoor Operations, Buildings or Narrow Streets
Cave and Tunnel Operations
Firefighting
Sports Caving
Mountaineering
