MARINE POSITIONING & ORIENTATION

iPos MS.
A direction for
every survey.

Integrated GNSS and inertial navigation for vessel positioning, attitude and heading. Built around the needs of your survey system.

iPos MS11 marine navigation system with deck unit, IMU and dual antennasSYSTEM ARCHITECTURE / iPos MS11

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Three elements. One navigation system.

A deck unit, an inertial measurement unit and two GNSS antennas form the system architecture. The final supply configuration is agreed for your project.

COMPONENT / 01

Deck unit

Navigation processing connects inertial and GNSS observations with the outputs your survey workflow requires.

COMPONENT / 02

Inertial measurement unit

Gyroscopes and accelerometers provide inertial measurements as part of the integrated solution.

COMPONENT / 03

Dual GNSS antennas

Satellite observations contribute positioning and heading information. Antenna layout is part of the installation review.

Conceptual data flow, not a wiring diagram. Physical interfaces, connections, software and included accessories are confirmed for the selected configuration.

MS11 / MS12 / MS13

Choose against the conditions that matter.

Model selection should consider GNSS conditions, required attitude and heading performance, antenna baseline and integration constraints together.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you specify.

Which iPos MS model should I choose?

Start with the required position, roll, pitch and heading performance, your GNSS conditions, antenna layout and survey equipment. We can review MS11, MS12 and MS13 options against those requirements.

What is included in the system?

The system architecture includes a deck unit, an IMU and two GNSS antennas. Cables, software, receiver configuration and other options are confirmed in the project quotation.

Can you assess integration with my survey equipment?

Yes. Share the equipment and software models, required outputs, interfaces and timing requirements. Compatibility and any adaptation work are evaluated for the specific configuration.

What lead time should I plan for?

The reference lead time is approximately 60 days. The start date, configuration, shipping arrangements and delivery schedule are confirmed in the quotation or order.

Is installation or training support available?

Remote video assistance and training can be coordinated. On-site support can be arranged by project; travel expenses and any engineering service fees are agreed separately.
