Problem
Unmanned platforms such as drones, autonomous vehicles, and spacecraft require precise orientation data, but conventional magnetic compasses suffer from gyro drift, magnetic distortion, and temperature‑induced errors, especially in GNSS‑denied, indoor, or harsh electromagnetic environments.
Solution
KM‑SENSE manufactures digital magnetic compass sensors that integrate magnetometer‑assisted gyro drift correction, magnetic distortion detection, and temperature calibration algorithms to provide reliable attitude‑heading reference data. The sensors are built to ISO 9001 and MIL‑STD‑801G standards, undergo extensive EMI/EMC and temperature testing, and are offered in several product families (K‑AHRS, K‑INS, K‑NAV) tailored for different unmanned system requirements. By fusing magnetometer, gyroscope, and optional GNSS inputs, the devices deliver high‑performance orientation information even when GPS signals are unavailable or in confined spaces. The low‑power designs support long‑duration missions across aerial, land, sea, and space platforms.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers of drones, autonomous ground and maritime vehicles, spacecraft, and other unmanned platforms that require high‑precision orientation and navigation solutions.
