Certus Mini A (AHRS) combines temperature-calibrated accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers. These are coupled in an AI-based fusion algorithm to deliver accurate and reliable orientation data. The Certus Mini A features low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) and multiple communication interfaces for easy integration. It is available in both rugged and OEM variants. The OEM variant offers deep system integration, layout flexibility, and reduced SWaP-C.
Features
AI Navigation Algorithm
The Certus Mini range features Advanced Navigation’s revolutionary AI neural network sensor fusion algorithm.
The algorithm was designed for control applications and has a high level of health monitoring and instability prevention to ensure stable and reliable data.
High-Performance MEMS
The Certus Mini range contains high performance MEMS sensors that are put through Advanced Navigation’s intensive 8 hour temperature calibration process.
This provides the highest accuracy possible from this sensor class and outputs consistent accuracy over the full temperature range from -40°C to 85°C.
Reliability
The Certus Mini range has been designed from the ground up for mission-critical control applications where reliability is essential.
Built using a safety-oriented real-time operating system, all software is designed and tested to high safety standards with fault-tolerance in mind.
The Certus Mini range is designed, manufactured and tested to military standards.
Linear Acceleration Compensation
Certus Mini uses an innovative algorithm to compensate for linear accelerations.
This allows Certus Mini to maintain accurate roll and pitch through short term linear accelerations that typically cause significant errors in competitors systems.
For long term linear accelerations Certus Mini supports the addition of an external GNSS receiver for full acceleration compensation.
Extensive Interoperability
Certus Mini seamlessly communicates with a wide range of industry standard protocols including NMEA 0183 and CANOpen making it easy to integrate into existing systems.
Certus Mini effortlessly interfaces with ROS 1, ROS 2, and Ardupilot, streamlining your development processes for maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
