Navigation solutions

The Navigation Communication & Power Board (NCPB) is an electronic card who suits all the navigation needs whether in air, land or at sea, it is provided as a separate part.

The NAVBOX is a complete solution that integrates the box and the Navigation Communication & Power Board (NCPB).

Navigation, Communication & Power Board

The Navigation Communication & Power board (NCPB) is designed to suit all the navigation needs whether in air, land or at sea. It includes on board mounted GNSS, INS & a computer in a compact size.

It easily enables the navigation for your OEM. The NCPB provides highly accurate navigation solutions for your vehicle (typical applications: bathymetry applications, environment monitoring…).

This NCPB is composed of the state-of-the-art technologies:

  • Single-board computer,
  • GNSS Receiver,
  • Inertial Navigation System (INS)
  • Power supply & communication hub for user devices (Ethernet, Serial, GPIO…).

GNSS:

Hemisphere H328: GPS, GLN, GAL, BDS, L-Band (Atlas), heading (0.04°@ 2m baseline), L1/L2, RTK 1cm, rover, 20 Hz.

Trimble BD992: GPS, GLN, GAL, BDS, L-Band (Omnistar), heading (0.09° @ 2m baseline), L1/L2/L5/E6, RTK 1cm, rover, 20 Hz.

Trimble BD992-INS: GPS, GLN, GAL, BDS, L-Band (Omnistar), heading (0.09° @ 2m baseline), L1/L2/L5/E6, RTK 1cm, rover, 20 Hz; 0.1° pitch & roll.

 

INS/IMU:

Ellipse Series: 0.1° pitch & roll, 1° heading (magnetometer), 5 cm real-time heave.

Navsight Ekinox Series: 0.02° pitch & roll, 0.05° heading (w/ GNSS), 5 cm real-time heave.

 

Computer:

Raspberry Pi CM3+: 32 Gb eMMC, 1Gb SDRAM (+32Gb), Cortex A53 (ARM) 64-bits 1.2 GHz, VideoCore IV.

 

Power supplies:

Input Power range: +12 to 36 VDC.

Power requirement: operating temperature 0° to 70°C, 20 W INS+GNSS solutions.

Power outputs: +12 VDC @ 3A (AU outputs combined), +24 VDC @4A (Isolated power supply).

This electronic card suited to all kind of vehicles and moving object. The field applications are varied. For example the Navigation Communication and Power Board could be use for

  • a train,
  • a drone,
  • an unmanned surface vehicle,
  • an autonomous underwater vehicle
  • a car…
