Overview

The Pre-calibrated Variant of the F290 GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (Attitude and Positioning Systems) is delivered calibrated and ready for use, thus facilitating rapid and repeatable field deployment which removes the need for field calibration (in the form of figure of 8’s). The F290 Pre calibrated variant GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (Attitude and Positioning Systems) is one of the models within the F280 Series® which is our new generation of high accuracy measurement instruments for use in the marine hydrographic and laser survey market. This new generation of GNSS Aided INS systems embeds high accuracy components (accelerometers and gyros) and smart algorithms.

Designed to meet the exacting and demanding requirements of the hydrographic survey market, the F290 Pre-calibrated instruments are easy to install and use. These instruments produce very accurate positioning, heading and MOTION data in the most dynamic offshore conditions. The Pre-calibrated variant facilitates rapid and repeatable deployment since this variant removes the requirement for field calibration.

The light and rugged F290, packaged in an IP67 rated housing, is a reliable, repeatable, and cost-effective solution suitable for use on vessels of all sizes. The F290 is one model within the F280 Series® of GNSS-Aided Instrument. This model is Multi frequency, dual antenna multi-GNSS receiver for improved constellation coverage and heading lock stabilization. The unit supports Atlas H10 (satellite), RTK, SBAS and DGPS corrections services.

An easy-to-use and intuitive web interface provides configuration, control and processing functionality including built-in iHeave (intelligent heave). In addition to real-time heave measurement and output, the F290 now directly computes and outputs our long-standing and proven iHeave (intelligent Heave) solution without the need for top-side processing or software.
