AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2014
DE LEON SPRINGS, Fla.--Sparton Corporation (NYSE:SPA) has announced that Sparton Navigation and Exploration will introduce its GPS/ GNSS Assisted Inertial Navigation System, GAINS-10 at AUVSI 2014. GAINS-10 provides accurate inertial navigation in the presence of mechanical shock, transient platform vibrations and extreme magnetic interference. It features high speed, synchronous sampling of all inertial systems combined with high rate coning and sculling compensation and is fully calibrated across temperature.
"The GAINS-10 delivers precise performance in complex environments," said Jim Lackemacher, Group Vice President of Sparton's Defense & Security Engineered Products. "Sparton's GAINS-10 provides flexible integration options and platform customization."
Features of GAINS-10:
• Advanced EKF implementation coupled with Sparton's proprietary AdaptNav™ sensor fusion algorithms
• Multi-GNSS receiver module using multiple satellite constellations in parallel
• 10 DOF High Performance Inertial Measurement Unit
• Enhanced MEMS sensing technology (3-axis magnetic, 3-axis acceleration, 3-axis gyro and barometer)
• High speed synchronous sampling of all inertial sensors
• Customizable on-board high speed digital filtering
• Sculling and coning compensation
• High speed data logging capability to off-board µSD card
• Ruggedized, shockproof design, with proprietary seals that allow barometric pressure sensing combined with IP67 performance
• Low power consumption with power management functionality (Sleep Mode)
• Interface to external GPS receiver
• External data interface via Multi-GPIO connectivity
• Powerful user programmable customizations via NorthTek™ Forth interpreter

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
