Inertial
navigation
for subsea
operations
Equipping over 80% of the subsea vehicles used in the Energy and Geoscience industries, Exail FOG-based Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and Attitude Heading and Reference Systems (AHRS) offer unmatched navigation accuracy for ROVs and AUVs operating in the most demanding environments.Compact, lightweight, and pre-calibrated, they are crucial assets for subsea operators, enhancing operational efficiency in the field.
Powering robust navigation for ROV and AUV
Unrivaled navigation performance
Exail subsea INS provide exceptional accuracy and reliability for ROV and AUV operations in challenging underwater environments, with heading precision of ≥0.01° secLat and optimal navigation down to 6,000 meters.
Ideal for both standard and survey-grade applications, these systems leverage Exail's advanced Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology for superior performance in dynamic subsea conditions. Performance can be further enhanced with Delph INS post-processing software.
Increased performance and flexibility through INS/DVL coupling
Exail’s INS seamlessly integrate with DVLs from
Nortek and
Teledyne RD Instruments, offering precise and reliable subsea navigation. This tight coupling combines Exail’s FOG technology with DVL velocity data, improving accuracy, reducing drift, and enhancing stability.
The modular, plug-and-play design lets operators choose the ideal INS/DVL combination based on mission needs, ensuring flexibility and easy integration. This solution simplifies operations while delivering exceptional navigation performance for subsea missions.
Unmatched reliability in harsh environments
Seamless integration and deployment
Optimized SWaP-C for easy integration
Exail SWaP-C-optimized INS are designed for compact UUVs, with tailored form factors and fewer cable requirements, ensuring easy integration and reliable performance in space-limited subsea environments.
Third-party sensor compatibility
Exail INS feature an open architecture for easy integration with third-party sensors, such as DVLs and pressure sensors. This ensures reliable connectivity and enhanced operational flexibility in subsea operations.
Fast deployment and alignment
Pre-calibrated and plug-and-play, Exail INS enable quick integration without on-field calibration. With self-alignment in motion, they eliminate static alignment time, saving time and costs in offshore operations.
Low power for long deployments
Exail's latest INS feature low power consumption, enabling long-duration deployments. They are ideal for AUV manufacturers and e-ROV operators seeking to optimize energy use without sacrificing data processing performance.
Scalable solutions for all subsea vehicles
