GL-VG122-XX is a power-efficient inertial navigation system (INS) based on new MEMS sensors. It determines position, velocity, and heading without external signals, operates from a 3–5 V battery supply, and is housed in a compact 44×44×16 mm, 40 g enclosure.
The system is easy to integrate with GNSS and external sources via RS-422/485, and the GL-VG122-60 version supports gyrocompass-based alignment (gyrocompassing). The output rate is up to 1000 Hz.
The product line also includes sensing element units (GL-BC122 -20, -40, -60) for raw inertial data: factory calibration, stable operation, and high data output rate.
