ANV-353

Doppler Velocity Sensor

The ANV-353 is a fully digital DVS that provides a continuous and accurate three axes velocity measurement for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft applications.

It is a single-unit, low-power sensor, specifically designed for integrated systems. The applications of DVS ANV-353 are the following:

  • Source of velocity vector data for Doppler/Heading Navigation
  • Source of velocity vector for approach down to hover and hover for Autopilot
  • Source of velocity vector for ASW sonobuoy control
  • Source of velocity vector data for weapons aiming during NOE attack for anti-tank helicopter
  • Source of velocity vector data for INS/Doppler hybrid navigation
  • Source of velocity vector data for INS in-flight alignment using Doppler

The Doppler Velocity Sensor ANV-353 generates, radiates, and detects microwave energy directed to and backscattered from the surface of the earth providing a self-contained velocity measuring capability using Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms.
