VectorNav Technologies Announces Two New Inertial Navigation Systems Featuring Enhanced GNSS Receivers

VectorNav is expanding its lineup of tactical GNSS/INS solutions with the VN-210-S and VN-310-S, bringing all-new GNSS capabilities and improved performance to operations in GNSS-contested environments.

VectorNav Technologies, a global leader in Inertial Navigation solutions, announced the development of two new products, the VN-210-S and VN-310-S, to expand the company’s tactical series of GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INS).

The VN-210-S GNSS/INS combines VectorNav’s tactical-grade IMU comprised of a 3-axis gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer with an all-new triple-frequency GNSS receiver. The integrated 448-channel GNSS receiver by Septentrio adds several new capabilities, including L5 frequencies, Moving Baseline RTK with centimeter-level accuracy, along with support for OSNMA message authentication and robust interference mitigation. Together, these capabilities and high-quality hardware deliver significantly improved positioning performance in RF-congested and GNSS-denied environments.

The VN-310-S Dual GNSS/INS leverages VectorNav’s tactical-grade IMU and integrates two 448-channel GNSS receivers to enable GNSS-compassing for accurate heading estimations in stationary and low-dynamic operations. The VN-310-S also gains support for OSNMA message authentication and robust interference mitigation, offering more reliable position data across a variety of applications and environments.

The VN-210-S and VN-310-S are packaged in a precision milled, anodized aluminum enclosure designed to MIL standards and are IP68-rated. For ultra-low SWaP applications, VectorNav has introduced L5 capabilities to the VN-210E (Embedded) when using an externally integrated L5-band GNSS receiver.
