Tactical Grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), Rugged-3 IMX-5

The RUG-3-IMX-5-DK series adds a rugged aluminum enclosure and RS232, RS485, and CAN Bus interface to the IMX-5. This development kit is designed for testing and evaluation and contains our RUG-3-IMX-5, interface cables, software, and engineering support hours.

The IMX-5 is a 10-DOF sensor module consisting of a tactical grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), magnetometer, and barometer. Output includes angular rate, linear acceleration, magnetic vector, and barometric pressure and altitude. IMU calibration consists of bias, scale factor, cross-axis alignment, and temperature compensation. The IMX-5 includes Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) sensor fusion to estimate roll, pitch, and heading. Adding GNSS input to the IMX-5 enables onboard Inertial Navigation System (INS) sensor fusion for roll, pitch, heading, velocity, and position.
