Description
A marine strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) (gyro bias repeatability ≤50μg) with fast startup, RS-422/Ethernet output and extended-temperature operation, suited to demanding navigation and stabilization applications.
The Merak-M03 (60S) Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS-M) is a marine strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS-M) from the Merak series. It integrates a fiber-optic gyroscope triad with quartz flexible accelerometers in a strapdown architecture, supports any-orientation startup, and outputs position, velocity and attitude through serial and Ethernet interfaces. The unit delivers a dynamic range of at least ±400°/s with excellent bias stability and low angular random walk. Key performance figures include Accelerometer Bias Repeatability (monthly, 1σ) ≤50μg; Accelerometer Scale Factor Accuracy (monthly, 1σ) ≤50ppm; Gyro Bias Repeatability (1σ) ≤0.05°/hr; Gyro Scale Factor Accuracy (1σ) ≤50ppm; Gyro Accuracy (10 s, 1σ) ≤0.1°/hr; Angular Random Walk (1σ) ≤0.01°/√hr. A companion “Deep Pilot” variant (SD-GH03) with the same specifications is also available. Electrical interfacing is provided through high-speed serial or Ethernet links with fast startup, and the unit operates over an extended industrial temperature range with high MTBF for long-endurance missions. Typical applications include small and medium-sized unmanned surface vessels, unmanned submersibles, underwater vehicles and other marine platforms that require rapid alignment while moored or during constant-speed straight-line navigation. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer’s 2026 catalog and datasheet.
