KVH Introduces Compact CNS-5000 that marries high-performance KVH fiber optic gyros and inertial technology with NovAtel's precision GPS in a self-contained navigation package for the commercial market
MIDDLETOWN R, USA -- KVH Industries, Inc., working in close cooperation with leading GPS manufacturer NovAtel Inc., has introduced the CNS-5000, a self-contained navigation system that combines fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based inertial measurement technology from KVH with global positioning system (GPS) technology from NovAtel.

This rugged navigation solution affordably provides the precise position and orientation of a host platform on a continuous basis, even during periods where GPS signals are blocked by natural or man-made obstructions or conditions.

The CNS-5000 is designed specifically for demanding commercial applications, such as dynamic surveying, precision agriculture, container terminal management, and autonomous vehicle navigation, where the ability to determine the precise position and orientation of a piece of equipment or a mobile platform is critical.
