About

About SBG Systems

SBG Systems supplies compact IMUs, attitude and heading reference systems and full inertial navigation systems. Product families including Ellipse, Ekinox, Apogee, Quanta and Pulse cover different accuracy, size and environmental requirements, with post-processing software available for survey and mapping workflows.

Robotic and uncrewed platforms use the systems for position, velocity and orientation when GNSS is degraded or unavailable. The privately owned French company designs and manufactures its products in France and supports customers through international subsidiaries.
