About
About VN-210 GNSS/INS
VN-210 combines a three-axis accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer with a multiband GNSS receiver and VectorNav's onboard extended Kalman filter. The rugged unit produces position, velocity, heading and attitude in a 56 × 56 × 31 mm IP68 enclosure, with primary and auxiliary serial interfaces for integration into aircraft, ground vehicles and other autonomous platforms.
Navigation output runs at up to 400 Hz and raw inertial output at up to 800 Hz. VectorNav specifies 0.05°–0.1° dynamic heading accuracy, 0.015° dynamic pitch or roll accuracy and RTK support using external correction inputs. The 155 g rugged VN-210 remains distinct from the 14 g VN-210E board-mount variant; VN-210-S and VN-210-S-ERV add L5 reception and extended-velocity configurations without changing that packaging boundary.
Timeline
- VectorNav adds LEO satellite aiding for GNSS-denied navigation
2026-06-02 - Capability - The development kit combines a VN-210E embedded INS, a NAL Technologies ALTM Micro-D receiver and a one-year Iridium development licence. Testing demonstrated positioning within approximately 50 metres CEP in GNSS-denied conditions while maintaining inertial position, velocity and attitude outputs. Program-specific LEO-aiding support is available for full-size VN-210, VN-310 and VN-310E Tactical Series systems.
Source - VectorNav adds high-G sensing ranges across Tactical Series
2026-03-24 - Capability - New configurations add 95G and 250G accelerometer ranges and a 4,000°/s gyroscope range. The options cover the VN-110, VN-210 and VN-310 families and are drop-in compatible without form, fit or function changes. Engineering units were available for immediate evaluation, with production supported at VectorNav’s AS9100-certified Dallas operation.
