Navigation & Motion
Thanks to its expertise in the field of high-performance fiber optic gyroscopes, IXSEA is able to supply high-precision navigation and positioning systems for surface vessels and units.

Equipped with sensors offering ultra high sensitivity to rotation and acceleration, combined gyrocompass and accelerometer assemblies can provide complete information on attitude, speed and acceleration in real time, continuously and at unequalled levels of precision.

Based on the same technology and offering the same benefits, Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) provide information on navigation along with attitude data.

These navigation and positioning systems currently equip more than 1,500 ships engaged in every possible application: DP vessels for offshore operations and dredging, along with oceanographic and hydrographic survey ships fitted with multibeam antennas or towfish.
