VectorNav announced the availability of a high accuracy, GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System on a Chip. The product, that is targeting industrial grade navigation scenarios, such as the operation of unmanned vehicles, costs $900 in volume.
The VN-200 incorporates a 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis magnetometer, and a barometric pressure sensor as well as a 50 channels GPS chipset from u-blox.
The VN-200 onboard microprocessor runs an aerospace-grade Kalman filter algorithm at a rate of up to 200 Hz and provides accuracies better than 0.25 degrees in pitch and roll and 0.75 degrees in heading.

"By combining our knowledge of MEMS sensor technology, aerospace filtering methods and calibration techniques, we have created a powerful inertial navigation solution and demonstrated our continued commitment to developing the most advanced MEMS-based navigation solutions on the market," said VectorNav Technologies President, John Brashear.
VectorNav will be showcasing the VN-200 at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) North America conference from August 6-9 in Las Vegas.
The privately-owned company was created in 2008 and is headquartered in Texas.
