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. 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. |
