Advanced Navigation’s Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS) offers a breakthrough in ground-relative velocity measurement by using infrared lasers to deliver high-accuracy 3D velocity data, even in the absence of GNSS signals. Read more >>
In a paper authored by Dr. David McManus, Patrick Wiltshire, Mark Gibson, and Dr. Lyle Roberts, Advanced Navigation tested the LVS alongside the company’s Boreas D90 fiber-optic gyroscope INS.
The LVS achieved an average error per distance traveled of just 0.053% during seven GNSS-denied vehicle trials. In aerial tests, integrated with a tactical-grade INS on a 545 km fixed-wing flight, the system delivered a final error of 0.045%.
These results confirm LVS as a robust velocity aid for precision navigation in GPS-contested environments.
