Honeywell Compact Inertial Navigation System
The Honeywell Aerospace Compact Inertial Navigation System (HCINS) is a low size, weight, and power (SWaP) solution designed for all classes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Engineered to ensure safe and reliable navigation during intermittent GNSS disruptions. HCINS is roughly the size of a deck of cards and offers seamless plug-and-play integration with Pixhawk autopilot systems—making it ideal for both rotary and fixed-wing UAV platforms.HCINS is part of Honeywell’s Resilient UAV Navigation Suite, which also includes the Honeywell Radar Velocity System (HRVS) and the GPSdome Anti-Jamming System. When paired with HRVS, HCINS enables UAVs to operate in fully GPS-denied environments with a position error of less than 3% of distance traveled. The HGuide HCINS is designed and built at a Honeywell facility. It has an ECCN of 7A994 and is generally available without an export license.
