iMAR Navigation GmbH

iMAR Navigation, located in St. Ingbert, about 150 km southwest of Frankfurt, Germany and founded in 1992, has extensive longtime experience in the conception, development, manufacture, sales and support of inertial measurement systems applied to many tasks in navigation, surveying, stabilization, guidance, control and other general as well as specialized applications. These applications range through the entire applications spectrum from military to commercial, from the ocean floor to space, for unmanned and manned platforms.
iMAR Navigation develops and manufactures inertial navigation and control systems for general INS/GNSS based surveying applications as well as for e.g. aircraft testing, navigation and guidance, gravimetry, car and truck vehicle dynamics analysis and vehicle control, antenna and camera stabilization, flight path indicator stabilization, drillhead surveying and control, pipeline surveying, target tracking, defense applications and many other. Strong research & development activities also cover machine vision based systems and deep-learning aspects (www.imar-navigation.de).

iMAR’s team of more than 80 engineers, scientists and technicians has an unparalleled in-depth knowledge of the various inertial and aiding sensors, algorithms, hardware design and software engineering. This applied expertise achieves the highest measurement per-formance in the delivered systems, matched to each customer’s specific requirements.

iMAR Navigation operates its own headquarters building which provides 3’100 sqm space for development, manufacturing and customer education. End of 2014 an additional building with 800 sqm was errected to extend the available space for manufacturing and development and a further building was opened in 2021 with additional 800 sqm for our teams of development ad support. iMAR Navigation is certified according to ISO9001 (industrial) as well as EN9100 (airborne and military applications). Since 2011 iMAR Navigation is furthermore certified according to EASA Part 21G (aviation systems production organization). The design process for industrial and defense applications is based on the International Standard ISO/IEC 12207 or according to customer requests.

iMAR Navigation has an advanced testing and environmental certification centre for inertial systems. The equipment in our centre in-cludes four single and multi axes turntables, a full motion simulator (hexapod) for payloads up to 1 ton with 3D translatory and 3D rotatory motion capability, a GNSS simulator, various other calibrated testing systems including two full mil/space-spec range tem-perature chambers, a 40 kN vibration and shock platform as well as a Zeiss coordinate measuring machine for quality assurance of the precise mechanical components. The modern 3’100 sqm production and engineering area is organized to meet both low and high vol-ume system manufacturing with full traceability according to our quality standards. End of 2022 the errection of a new EMI/EMC test hall will be finished, which will be used by our daughter company Spezal-EMV GmbH (www.spezial-emv.de).

Customers of iMAR Navigation are general industries, automotive manufacturers, aerospace / aviation industry, defence industry, govermental organizations, medium and large size enterprises and research laboratories.
