NAViSEER Personnel Tracking System is an inertial navigation device with optional GPS capability. NAViSEER utilizes the latest technology and provides an interface for integration with both civilian and military GPS devices. By blending GPS and inertial navigation technology, NAViSEER is continuously calibrated for the user's stride length and body offset. This calibration enables up-to-date movement parameters when the user enters a GPS-denied or GPS-limited area and the DR device takes over. The NAViSEER is a miniature, self-contained, electronic navigation unit for personnel on foot that provides user position relative to an initialization point. The initialization point can be provided by an attached GPS device or inputted by the user. Once an initialization point is configured, the relative position of the user is updated at user defined intervals on a visualization software display in the Command and Control (C2) Center. The NAViSEER rate of error is no more than 2% of distance traveled from the initialization point. This means that if the user is in a GPS-denied or GPS-limited area and travels 100 meters, the user position is known to no more than a 2 meter radius around the displayed position, based on the initialization point or last known good point. The vertical or altitude accuracy is not dependent on time or distance and the maximum error is less than 1.4 meters. Therefore, no matter how long or far the user has traveled in a GPS-denied or GPS-limited area, as long as the location signals can be transmitted back to the C2, the user position and altitude will be known. Unlike other inertial navigation systems, the NAViSEER's error characteristics are independent of time, and instead, depend primarily on distance traveled. With NAViSEER, advanced motion classification algorithms analyze movement and compensate when the user is moving backwards, sideways, running, crawling, or just fidgeting in place. The NAViSEER can be directly interfaced to most digital radios and GPS receivers – and optionally can be ordered with an internal GPS receiver. NAViSEER is a reliable GPS supplement for personnel on foot. The result of the SEER advancements in inertial navigation tracking is accurate positioning to within 2% of distance traveled - a capability not found in any other small scale, portable device. Successful systems integration of inertial navigation in past programs has demonstrated that a reliable navigation supplement for personnel does not require sensors on the legs or feet, and can readily co-exist with equipment normally carried by a soldier or other user. NAViSEER devices provide real time location data via radio back to C2 computers equipped with Geographical Information Systems (GIS)-based 2D or 3D visualization software. SEER3D software instantly generates 2D and 3D views of buildings and structures that reveal graphical visualization of movement and location for assets equipped with NAViSEER.
