Hi ,

take a look to this :

IG-500N : GPS aided AHRS

The IG-500N is the world smallest GPS enhanced Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). With its embedded Extended Kalman Filter, the IG-500N delivers unmatched precision on attitude and position measurements in very high dynamic conditions.
AHRS and Navigation sensor !

The IG-500N includes a MEMS based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), a GPS receiver and a pressure sensor. It provides a precise and drift-free attitude and position, even in high G maneuvers.

This miniature Inertial Navigation System (INS) runs a real time Extended Kalman Filter that computes orientation, position and velocity data at high update rates, up to 100 Hz.

The attitude computation is also improved by removing transient accelerations measured by the GPS receiver.
Key Features :

* Precise 3d orientation data, event in high G maneuvers
* 3d velocity and position at high update rates, up to 100 Hz
* Improved Extended Kalman Filter for best attitude and position estimation
* Angular rates measurements up to 500°/s
* Embedded high performance 4Hz GPS receiver and barometric sensor
* Individual sensor calibration over full temperature range,
* Sensor compensation of misalignment, cross axis and gyro-g effects
* Magnetometers calibration algorithms for both soft and hard iron effects
* Communication protocols : RS-232 and USB
* Ultra compact and lightweight design (45 grams)
* Very low power design (550 mW)
* Robust and high precision aluminum enclosure
