Boreas A70​
Using world-first Digital FOG (DFOG) technology, the Boreas A70 is a high-performance IMU/AHRS with automatic gyrocompassing and a significantly lower SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost).

Roll & Pitch 0.01 °

Heading (Gyrocompass) 0.1 ° seclat

Bias Instability 0.01 °/hr

Output Rate 1000 Hz

The Boreas A series combines cutting-edge Fibre Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology with closed-loop accelerometers, which are coupled in a sophisticated fusion algorithm to deliver accurate and reliable orientation. The system features ultra-fast gyrocompassing, acquiring and maintaining an accurate heading under all conditions with no reliance on GNSS.

The Boreas A series can be upgraded to full INS capability through a software license upgrade. As an INS it can be interfaced to any of the leading brands of GNSS receivers to create an OEM GNSS/INS solution.

 

Features

Revolutionary DFOG Technology

Boreas takes Fibre Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology into the next generation with new, patent-pending Digital FOG (DFOG) technology, developed over 25 years with 2 research institutions. This revolutionary DFOG technology combines a specially designed closed-loop optical coil with advanced spread spectrum digital modulation techniques that have never been used in a FOG before. The resulting DFOG offers dramatically improved accuracy, stability, and reliability with significantly reduced size, weight, power, and cost.

Ultra-Fast North Seeking

The superior accuracy of the DFOG technology enables the Boreas range to rapidly determine heading without the need for GNSS or magnetometers. By sensing the Earth's rotation, Advanced Navigation's revolutionary north-seeking algorithm allows Boreas to acquire an accurate heading within minutes of start up. This can be achieved in both static and dynamic conditions, as well as at high latitudes.
 

Reliability

Boreas has been designed from the ground up for rugged reliability. Both the hardware and software are designed and tested to safety standards. The precision aluminium enclosure is waterproof and dustproof to the IP67 standard. The system is resilient to shock and vibration, allowing them to be used in the most extreme conditions. The hardware is designed and tested to MIL standards. The GNSS variants contains RAIM, which excludes malfunctioning or tampered satellite signals.
 

Industry-Leading SWaP-C

Based on ground-breaking DFOG technology, the Boreas range offers industry-leading size, weight, power and cost, when compared to competing systems of similar performance.
 

Multi Protocol Support

The Boreas range features multiple interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS422 and GPIOs. It supports all the industry standard protocols including NMEA, CANopen, NTP, PTP, as well as a wide variety of proprietary protocols. A rich, responsive embedded web interface provides full access to all of the device's internal functions and data. Internal storage allows for up to 1 year of data logging.
