Honeywell Introduces New Commercially Available Inertial Measurement Unit

Honeywell has announced the launch of the HGuide i700, an inertial measurement unit that delivers high-accuracy performance for unmanned air, land and sea vehicles.

By pairing near navigation-grade capability with a no-license-required (NLR) classification, the HGuide i700 provides integrators worldwide with a powerful new option for critical sensing and navigation.The HGuide i700 uses high reliability sensors and electronic architecture found in Honeywell’s HG3900 inertial measurement unit (IMU). Compact and low-power, the HGuide i700 delivers near-navigation-grade accuracy and reliability while being optimized to support longer range navigation in GNSS-denied environments

“As customers explore new autonomous, robotic and precision-guided solutions, they want the accuracy and reliability of inertial systems that can be tailored to their program requirements,” said Matt Picchetti, vice president and general manager, Navigation and Sensors, Honeywell Aerospace. “The HGuide i700 offers strong GNSS-denied performance for by limiting maximum acceleration and spin rates in a license-free package that simplifies the complexity of system development while preserving reliability.”

The latest in Honeywell’s HGuide suite of no-license inertial solutions, the HGuide i700 allows customers to streamline development cycles, simplify system architecture and transition to field deployment more quickly than existing technology.

The HGuide i700’s rugged design, compact size and low-power profile make it ideal for diverse commercial, industrial and defense applications, such as:

  • Unmanned aerial, land or sea vehicles
  • Mobile mapping and surveying systems
  • Long duration unmanned ground or surface platforms
  • Robotics and industrial automation
  • Stabilized payloads and pointing systems

Honeywell has been a top innovator in IMU technology for more than three decades and pioneered the use of MEMS technologies in navigation.
