Introduction
1.1
Product Description
The VN-200 is a miniature, surface-mount, high-performance Inertial Navigation System (INS).
Incorporating the latest solid-state MEMS sensor technology, the VN-200 combines 3-axis
accelerometers, 3-axis gyros, 3-axis magnetometer, a barometer, a 52-channel GPS receiver, and a 32-
bit processor into a miniature surface-mount module. Along with providing calibrated inertial sensor
measurements, the VN-200 also computes and outputs a real-time, high resolution 3D position, velocity
and drift-free orientation solution that is continuous over the complete 360 degrees of motion.

Product Features
The VN-200 is available in two different configurations, as a surface-mount sensor (VN-200 SMD), or as
an enclosed sensor (VN-200 Rugged). The VN-200 Rugged provides a robust, precision anodized
aluminum clamshell enclosure, ensuring precise alignment and calibration while still retaining the
smallest possible footprint.
