Description

The MGC R3 product is a fully inertial navigation system (INS). It can output heading, roll, pitch, heave and position. Acceleration and velocity of linear motions, as well as angular rates, are output from the unit. The MGC R3 product outputs both processed and raw (gyro and accelerometer) sensor data. The MGC R3 product can be used as a stand-alone unit or as an IMU in other systems. The product includes integrated navigation algorithms with input from a GNSS receiver for output of aided position and heading data. Based on Ring Laser gyro.
