A system for calibrating and configuring navigation devices has been developed at the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (SPbGETU "LETI"). This was announced by Pavel Ivanov, head of the joint experimental laboratory of the Engineering Center "Navigation and Motion Control" at LETI.
The development will help replace foreign analogs and is just as effective. The system can be used in aviation and shipbuilding.
We have developed a three-axis automated rotary stand for testing and calibrating navigation systems of various types, classes, and purposes. Unlike installations with one or two axes, this stand allows modeling almost any type of movement (for example, the rolling of a ship at sea or the flight of an airplane).
The stand will not only replace foreign systems but will also become the basis for other developments in this direction.
The domestic installation will improve the accuracy of testing and calibration of modern navigation systems of various types, classes, and purposes, serially produced by Russian industrial enterprises.
To create the trajectory of an object's movement, it is placed on the control surface of a three-axis stand. Special software creates a movement scenario relative to these axes.
The developers have already tested two such stands. The next step is system certification.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a microcomputer for drones of any type was developed at SPbGETU "LETI".
