  • Patent number: 11852485
    Abstract: An inertial navigation system (INS) device includes three or more atomic interferometer inertial sensors, three or more atomic interferometer gravity gradiometers, and a processor. Three or more atomic interferometer inertial sensors obtain raw inertial measurements for three or more components of linear acceleration and three or more components of rotation. Three or more atomic interferometer gravity gradiometers obtain raw measurements for three or more components of the gravity gradient tensor. The processor is configured to determine position using the raw inertial measurements and the raw gravity gradient measurements.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 13, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023
    Assignee: AOSense, Inc.
