UIMU-HG1700
ECONOMICAL, TACTICAL GRADE IMU
COMBINES WITH NOVATEL’S GNSS
TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER 3D POSITION,
VELOCITY AND ATTITUDE SOLUTION
SPAN: WORLD-LEADING GNSS+INS TECHNOLOGY
Synchronous Position, Attitude and Navigation (SPAN) technology brings together two
dierent but complementary technologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
positioning and inertial navigation. The absolute accuracy of GNSS positioning and the
stability of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) gyro and accelerometer measurements
are tightly coupled to provide an exceptional 3D navigation solution that is stable and
continuously available, even through periods when satellite signals are blocked.
UIMU-HG1700 OVERVIEW
The UIMU-HG1700 contains the Honeywell HG1700 IMU. The HG1700 is a tactical
grade IMU containing ring-laser gyros and servo accelerometers. The UIMU-HG1700
handles the power requirements of the IMU from a 12-28 VDC power input and
provides the IMU data to a SPAN enabled GNSS+INS receiver such as the FlexPak6™
or ProPak6™ using a custom NovAtel interface. IMU measurements are used by the
GNSS+INS receiver to compute a blended GNSS+INS position, velocity and attitude
solution at up to 100 Hz. The HG1700 is ITAR controlled and requires export approval
for customers outside the United States.
ADVANTAGES OF UIMU-HG1700
The HG1700 IMU is available in a range of gyro performance levels from one to five
degrees per hour. Honeywell’s high production volume of HG1700 IMUs enables
excellent tactical grade performance for an economical price with short delivery
times. The UIMU-HG1700 is available as a complete assembly including the IMU and
environmentally sealed enclosure. For customers who already have the HG1700 IMU,
the enclosure can be purchased separately and the IMU easily integrated.
IMPROVE SPAN UMIU-HG1700 ACCURACY
Take advantage of NovAtel CORRECT™ to receive your choice of accuracy and
performance, from decimetre to RTK-level positioning. For more demanding
applications, Inertial Explorer® post-processing soware from our Waypoint® Product
Group can be used to post-process SPAN UIMU-HG1700 data and oers the highest
level of accuracy with the system.
