Ekinox-E
Externally aided INS
The Ekinox-E has been designed to connect up to 4 external aiding systems including DVL or DMI. This highly versatile inertial navigation system provides orientation, heave, and navigation data.

Description
Ekinox-E is an ITAR Free Inertial Navigation System which accepts aiding data from external equipment. It combines an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), runs an enhanced on-board Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) which fuses in real-time inertial data with aiding information for the best performance.

Typical application
Data Georeferencing (SONAR, LiDAR, Camera), Ship Motion Monitoring, UAV positioning, ROV & AUV navigation, etc.
Distinguishable features
Ekinox-E provides roll, pitch, and heading at 200Hz. It accepts up to 4 external aiding to deliver position and further performance (GPS/GNSS, RTK, Odometer, DVL, USBL, Em Log, etc). If you already own aiding equipment, no need to invest again, just connect them to the Ekinox-E.
