Sensors Teaming Up for Increased Operational Efficiency

An unmatched integration of the latest within multi GNSS and KONGSBERG’s unique motion gyro compass (MGC™) facilitate the possibility to operate with no additional augmentation services without compromising on DP performance. The DPS i-series is still fully prepared to utilize differential corrections and SBAS services when required. DPS i4 utilizes data from all available GNSS constellations including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou.

Designed for Robust Performance

The integration ensures a continuous position solution by bridging gaps in the GNSS reception and increasing position stability in periods with limited GNSS availability due to masking, scintillation and interference. GNSS and INS are perfectly matched as they overcome each others limitations. Using both systems is superior to using either system alone. RAIM (Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) extended by data from the INS provides ultimate reliability of the position and velocity data under difficult GNSS conditions.

Multi-Use of Sensor and Active Decision Support

By using the MGC as the inertial sensor, a high-quality WheelMark gyro compass becomes a part of the solution. In addition, MGC can serve other on-board systems such as navigation equipment and other systems that require attitude data. The DPS i-series has an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface developed in close co-operation with experienced DP operators. The HMI (Human-Machine Interface) enables the operators to assess the quality of their positioning quickly and effectively during operation.
