Description

Inertial position data is produced using an INS algorithm, within the firmware framework of SATURN whilst attitude data is delivered via ccurate roll and pitch performance of 0.01° (SATURN10INS) and 0.05° (SATURN30/50INS), and a have performance of 5cm or 5%.

The SATURN INS operates at its ultimate performance when connected to an accurate external sensor such as GPS. SATURN offers a fast alignment of only 10 minutesm from switch-on.

All SATURN INS units are IMO approved and are WheelMark certified to the Marine Equipment Directive.
