Inertial Labs - Model CheetahNAV -Tactical Navigation System
CheetahNAV is field-proven, PNT-capable high precision GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) which utilize tactical-grade, MEMS sensors based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU); embedded, multi-constellation and multi frequency GNSS receiver; Advanced Kalman Filter based algorithm providing very accurate position information, navigation, time, velocity, and orientation in GNSS-enabled and GNSS-denied environments.
This versatile tactical navigation system which utilizes real-time moving map technology to provide the driver and crewmembers continuously with accurate situational awareness information. CheetahNAV has a user-friendly graphical navigation capability, combining inertial and satellite position information for accurately navigating between preset waypoints towards the destination. CheetahNAV makes use of an advanced Inertial Navigation System (INS), comprising several aids, including accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide accurate position, velocity, heading, pitch and roll of the platform using an advanced Kalman filter-based algorithm.
Ideal for tough battlefield conditions, the ruggedized CheetahNAV is designed and has been tested to withstand the most severe military environments. The CheetahNAV offers various options for vehicle installation, is vehicle agnostic, and is configurable to specific user needs, allowing flexibility as dictated by different mission requirements.
CheetahNAV is non-ITAR controlled and is the system of choice for land forces worldwide, meeting all their tactical navigation and battlefield management needs. A multi-language option ensures successful joint multinational operations.
The crew of the vehicle is provided with the following guidance queues to execute the planned tactical maneuvers:
- Current Vehicle Speed and True Heading of the vehicle
- Current Vehicle Position
- Desired Heading towards the Next Waypoint or Destination
- Desired Vehicle Speed to reach the Next Waypoint or Destination at the planned time
- Next Waypoint or Destination Position and Distance to the Next Waypoint
- Pitch and Roll Attitude of the vehicle
- Track traveled by the vehicle
The vehicle navigation system is a ‘map based’ navigation system that will allow maximum tactical advantage by enhancing the situational awareness of the crew at a reasonable cost. The system uses an Inertial Measurement Unit, combined with a GNSS to allow dead reckoning and positional accuracies, to allow the vehicle to fulfill its role in a tactical offensive.
