iXBlue, a global leader in naval and civil navigation and positioning
systems, is unveiling its new MARINS M series INS at EURONAVAL 2014,
in Paris, France. The series includes the MARINS M3, M5 and M7 systems
and is designed to address the needs of the world's most advanced navies
for surface-vessel and submarine operations in littoral and open-sea
environments. |
Accurate
and reliable navigation, including missile alignment, is critical to
the success of submarine and surface-vessel missions. The MARINS M series
raises the bar in performance and scalability by addressing the needs
of surface ship navigation under a GPS-denied environment. For submarines,
MARINS M7 enables three times longer autonomous stealth navigation compared
with any available system by offering drifts of less than 1 Nm/72 h.
The MARINS
M series represents the state of the art in strap-down, fiber-optic
gyroscope (FOG) technology, and is combat ready against GNSS denial.
The military-specification units output position, heading, roll, pitch,
depth and velocities, and are perfectly silent. The systems are compatible
with a wide range of aiding sensors and can be up and running within
minutes.
The extended
iXBlue product range, including QUADRANS, OCTANS, PHINS and MARINS M
series systems, now represents even higher scalability of solutions,
from attack craft to aircraft carriers and submarines.
More than
30 navies worldwide have selected the iXBlue product range, including
previous generations of MARINS systems. For example, the UK Royal Navy's
has adopted advanced iXBlue solutions for its Astute Class submarines.
iXBlue products are consistently selected for their overall performance,
reliability and through-life cost benefits. With no moving parts or
critical elements that deteriorate over time, the units offer the best
available total cost of ownership. Consequently, their reliability is
high and they require no maintenance. They are also compact, lightweight
and power efficient, and, unlike the systems generally used in submarines,
are extremely easy to integrate.
With more
than 30 years of experience, iXBlue is a global leader in ultimate-performance
FOG navigation for naval defense applications.
