OxTS case study

In developing its latest product, the xNAV series, the design team at OxTS was set the problem of creating a smaller, lighter and cheaper version of its flagship, high-end RT series INS, while maintaining performance almost as extreme as that of the RT. As part of the development process, the choice of accelerometer in the xNAV - a device from specialist MEMS manufacturer Safran Colibrys - required an innovative and precisely engineered technique for error compensation. And as this article shows, this optimisation benefited from the support provided by our technical experts.
