Introduction

Boreas A90/A70 is an ultra high accuracy DFOG AHRS that provides accurate acceleration and orientation under the most demanding conditions. It combines cutting edge Fibre Optic Gyroscopes (FOG) technology with closed loop accelerometers, which are coupled in a sophisticated fusion algorithm to deliver accurate and reliable orientation. The system features ultra fast gyrocompassing heading that works under all conditions.

Note: Boreas AHRS variants can be upgraded to full INS capability through a software license upgrade. Position and navigation functionality is only to be used when licensed as an INS. As an INS it can be interfaced to any leading brand of GNSS receivers to create an OEM GNSS/INS solution.

Boreas is available in two different performance classes, the Boreas A90 and the Boreas A70. See Specifications for a performance comparison between the two products. See Part Numbers and Ordering for more information.

Boreas

Boreas is a compact, light-weight AHRS system that:

  • Provides unparalleled accuracy, stability and reliability with its use of the revolutionary Digital FOG (DFOG) technology
  • Can be upgraded to full INS capability through a software license upgrade.
  • Rapidly acquires accurate heading information using Digital FOG (DFOG) gyroscopes in conjunction with an innovative north-seeking algorithm
  • Extracts greater usable information from sensor data using Advanced Navigation's AI-based sensor filter
  • Is designed and built to be tough, tested to high safety standards and resistant to shock and vibration, allowing it to be used in extreme conditions
  • Features multiple interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, RS232, RS422 and general-purpose IO
  • Supports all industry-standard protocols including NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 and a wide variety of proprietary protocols.
