Positioning sensor incorporates GPS capabilityInertial Aerosystems is introducing the MTi-G, a MEMS IMU (inertial measurement unit) with integrated GPS. It contains an internal ultra-low-power attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) processor and a real-time Kalman filter.

Key benefits of the compact MTi-G sensor is that it provides accurate horizontal and vertical position, velocity and 3D orientation estimates. With a high update rate and fidelity, the MTi-G is an excellent measurement unit for navigation and control of vehicles and other objects, even humans.

Weighing only 68g and measuring 58 x 58 x 33mm, it is suitable for use where space and weight are at a premium. It can also operate in tough environments within a temperature range of -20 to +55degC.

Also available is a development kit enabling easy integration of the MTi-G in any system or OEM products. Typical applications can be found in the robotics, aerospace, automotive and marine industries, as well as pedestrian navigation and virtual reality.
