iXblue Marins Series
     
Marins Series, now the world standard in naval navigation

Based on iXblue’s Fiber-Optic Gyroscope and selected for their ultimate performance, iXblue’sMarins M3, M5 & M7 inertial navigation system enable stealth autonomous navigation, providing very accurate heading, roll, pitch, speed and position, under severe GNSS-denied environment.They offer outstanding performances and unprecedented reliability. The Marins M7 model is the best available INS on the market, offering a drift of less than 1 Nm in 72 hours of surface GNSS-denied or submarine dived navigation. In the past few months, it was selected to meet the highest requirements and very specific needs of the most demanding navies, becoming the leading world standard in naval navigation.

Military-Grade Inertial Navigation Systems

• Unrivalled performance
• Genuine strapdown solid-state silent system
• Easy-to-use and user-friendly interface
• Milspec approved standard / IMO

Netans Series, data distribution and processing units at the core of iXblue navigation systems

At the core of iXblue's navigation systems, the Netans range, consisting of the N3, N5 and N7, offers extremely precise processing and efficient transmission of on-board data. The Netans from iXblue makes it possible to acquire, analyze, process, consolidate and transmit all navigation data to external systems (CMS, IPMS, IBS, etc.).

The Netans Series from iXblue guarantees many benefits:
• COTS systems adapted to all vessels configuration
• Modular software
• Sea proven integration with all main weapons and surveillance systems on board

Marins & Netans Series: a winning duo for new-build and retrofit programs
The Marins and Netans Series definitely are “the” iXblue's plug & play navigation solution for new-build and retrofit programs. Selected by highly demanding navies, most recently by the German Navy, the Marins&Netans coupled solution guarantees proven reliability for data redundancy and validation, web-based and ergonomic interface as well as easy maintenance.

Phins Compact Series, the world-leading solution for unmanned vehicle navigation

The Phins Compact Series (C3, C5 & C7) has been designed to offer AUV manufacturers and users the ability to choose an inertial navigation system adapted to their vehicle, whatever the size and mission, to meet the most challenging navigation and survey requirements.

Phins C3, C5 & C7 are based on iXblue’s unique Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, which the company has mastered end-to-end design and manufacture of over the past four decades. The systems are scalable by design, with similar architecture and interface, and provide very accurate heading, pitch, roll, velocity and position information. As a strap-down solid-state technology, iXblue’s FOG is also acoustically silent, making it perfect for stealth autonomous missions. With MTBF up to 100,000 hours and no preventative maintenance requirement, the systems guarantee users the highest degree of reliability and robustness.

• Most compact high-grade inertial navigation system
• Low power consumption for increased autonomy
• Software and algorithms dedicated to subsea operations
• Silent-true solid-state strap-down system
