Precise navigation without magnetic heading limitations

True heading at standstill

Xsens Avior provides accurate, north-referenced true heading during standstill and low-speed operation, without relying on magnetic measurements or requiring the platform to move.

Centimeter-level RTK positioning

Advanced sensor fusion and RTK corrections deliver centimeter-level positioning, precise orientation and reliable navigation output for demanding autonomous applications.

Compact OEM for embedded integration

With a compact 36.8 × 40 × 15.7 mm form factor, 35.2 g weight and typical power consumption below 0.5 W, Avior is built for low-SWaP integration into embedded drone, robot and vehicle platforms.
