Inertial Navigation
iXblue has got an unique range of inertial solutions not affected by GPS outage for surveyors, from gyrocompass to complete inertial navigation systems. Our systems can detect spikes on GPS data (when surveying under bridges, etc.) and exclude them from the navigation calculation.

Based on Fiber-Optic Gyroscope technology mastered by iXblue over 30 years, iXblue offers a complete range of high-grade, attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS).

Land and Air Solutions
iXblue offers Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) dedicated to providers of land and airborne geophysical services. The company's solutions provide accurate and robust mapping and positioning capabilities for advanced mobile mapping operations.
Ground waves detection

Rotational Seismometer
Seismology has been awaiting a portable broadband sensor for rotational motions for decades. blueSeis is the first sensor that fulfills the requirements of seismology. No calibration needed and maintenance-free

True North Aligner
Prerequisite for trustwhorthy 6-axis seismology measurements, Quadrans is a fully strap-down gyrocompass and attitude reference system. It provides all the necessary data to guarantee a perfect sensor alignment to the True North.
ACOUSTIC POSITIONING & COMMUNICATION

iXblue delivers a complete USBL offer with an extensive track record of successful use from very shallow water (15 m) to greater depths (10,000 m). These products are easy to integrate and are suited for various applications.

Highly precise, standard and reliable Long Baseline (LBL) and Sparse Long Baseline systems offer a truly independent positioning solution to aid and QC inertial navigation or monitoring the seabed fot geoscience projects.

Software Solutions
Delph Subsea Positioning is an intuitive and dynamic software used for the preparation, the operation and the post-processing of iXblue subsea positioning products.
ACOUSTIC RELEASES

Acoustic releases
Rugged and field-proven oceanographic acoustic releases ranging from coastal to high depths moorings
Seabed mapping

Sub-Bottom Profiler
Echoes Series provides a complete solution for acquiring, processing and interpreting high quality geological data thanks to its integration with the provided Delph Seismic software.
Synthetic Aperture Sonar
Sams Series expands the capabilities of conventional imaging Side Scan Sonar. The combination of iXblue technologies gives Sams systems optimal imaging performance.

3D Multibeam Echosounder
Complete environment monitoring from Water column to bathymetry and seabed classification thanks to the first compact civilian system comprising a dual Mills Cross multibeam sonar transducer.
Geophysical Software
Delph Series focuses on the acquisition and processing of geophysical data. From the tight integration of sensors to cartographic deliverables, Delph handles the transformation from raw side-scan sonars, sub-bottom profilers, seismic and magnetometers data to mapping products in a very logical and ultra-efficient workflow.
