4 terms

inertial navigation system (ins) technical

"inertial navigation system (INS), attitude and heading reference system"

A navigation system that calculates an object's position, orientation and velocity by continuously measuring its own motion with internal sensors—typically accelerometers and gyroscopes—and mathematically integrating those measurements from a known starting point. Because it relies only on internal sensors, it can operate without external signals (useful where GPS is unavailable), but small measurement errors accumulate over time (drift), so INS outputs are often periodically corrected with external references like GPS or landmarks.

attitude and heading reference system (ahrs) technical

"attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) and an NVIDIA"

An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is an electronic device that uses sensors—typically gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers—and data-fusion algorithms to continuously estimate an aircraft or vehicle's attitude (pitch and roll) and heading (yaw). It combines raw motion and magnetic measurements to produce stabilized orientation information for instruments, autopilots, and navigation displays; without external aiding (like GPS or an inertial navigation system) its outputs can slowly drift and rely on sensor fusion to correct short-term errors.

gnss technical

"full-constellation GNSS receiver"

GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System, a network of satellites that provide precise location and timing information anywhere on Earth, like a constantly available digital map and clock. It matters to investors because many industries—transportation, agriculture, telecom, finance and defense—rely on this positioning and timing for products, services and critical infrastructure; improvements or disruptions in GNSS can change costs, create new revenue streams, or introduce operational risk.

mems technical

"tactical-grade MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes"

MEMS are tiny machines built on silicon that combine electrical circuits with moving parts—think microscopic sensors, switches and actuators like the small gears in a watch but made with semiconductor manufacturing. They matter to investors because MEMS are key components in smartphones, cars, medical devices and industrial equipment; changes in demand, production cost or technological improvements can directly affect suppliers’ revenues, margins and competitive position.

INS-NV with AI processor, tactical-grade MEMS sensors and full-constellation GNSS receiver reduces time to market for visual and inertial navigation systems

CHANDLER, Ariz., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Inertial Labs, a VIAVI Solutions Inc. (VIAVI) (NASDAQ: VIAV) Company, today launched the INS-NV, a programmable development platform that combines inertial navigation system (INS), attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) and an NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX module.

The high-performance and modular development platform hosts demanding machine vision and navigation algorithms for advanced Alternative Position, Navigation and Timing (Alt-PNT) systems. The integration of the powerful edge AI processor accelerates development and reduces the time that has traditionally been required to integrate the INS system and software.

The INS-NV simplifies the development of real-time navigation and sensor fusion systems for maintaining operation in highly dynamic GNSS-denied and -compromised environments. It leverages the Inertial Labs aiding data ecosystem, sensor fusion filters, calibration software and state-of-the-art navigation algorithms to deliver precise time, position, velocity and attitude measurements. This includes the integration of fully calibrated tactical-grade MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, barometric altimeter, magnetometers and full-constellation GNSS receiver (GPS, QZSS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, NavIC).

The platform is also highly expandable, enabling the additional integration of both Inertial Labs sensor modules and commercial off-the-shelf vision cameras.

"Visual navigation needs continuous information about vehicle position, orientation and time. Because these systems have traditionally lacked a high-end processor, developers have to spend considerable R&D time and budget to integrate their software with the INS, and that's before they build a platform," said Jamie Marraccini, Vice President, Inertial Labs Products, VIAVI. "The advanced sensor fusion addresses this challenge, enabling developers to run their own visual navigation stacks alongside our INS and AHRS technologies, and more quickly create advanced alternative navigation and PNT systems."

The INS-NV is available immediately, with MAVLink, ASPN-, pntOS- and MOSA-compliant variants available on request.
