Maintain precise attitude and heading, even near metallic structures or in unpredictable wave motion: on the surface or under the sea.
Xsens’ advanced magnetic interference compensation and high frequency orientation output ensure reliable data you can trust.
Ideal for:
Vessel motion tracking and stabilization
ROVs and UAVs orientation
Offshore platforms and cranes
Antenna and radar alignment
Buoy and surface station orientation
Xsens IMUs and MRUs perform reliably both above and below the surface.
For surface applications, integrated Heave output - with a 5 cm accuracy for heave periods up to 29 seconds - adds real-time vertical displacement data for active heave compensation in vessel and platform stabilization.
Underwater, Xsens sensors provide accurate roll, pitch, and heading data, and can be easily used with DVL/USBL systems for complete subsea navigation.
Use Cases:
ROV and AUV navigation
Subsea mapping and inspection
Cable laying and docking systems
Autonomous surface vehicles
The Xsens Sirius Xsens Avior are available as MRUs (Motion Reference Unit) by offering Heave - delivering real-time and centimetre-level vertical displacement, together with roll & pitch.
Xsens MRUs deliver Heave output with a 5 cm accuracy for Heave periods up to 29 seconds.
Computed fully onboard using advanced sensor fusion, Heave provides marine engineers with precise motion data for stabilization, drilling, docking, and active heave-compensation systems.
Heave is available for all Xsens Sirius and Avior AHRS models via a firmware update.
