Honeywell Radar Velocity System
The Honeywell Radar Velocity System (HRVS) is a small, lightweight and low-power radar-based navigation-aiding system.
The RVS uses millimeter wave radar (mmWave) technology (60-64GHz or 76-81 GHz) and outputs range, velocity and angle of objects.
Brochure: Honeywell Radar Velocity System (PDF)
HRVS can be used either as a velocity aiding source to inertial navigation systems or as an independent velocity sensing system in commercial and military applications.
Radar Velocity System Applications
While the primary purpose of HRVS is to be an aiding source to inertial navigation systems, we can use HRVS also as a speed sensor or as a proximity warning system. Some of the applications where HRVS can be used are:
- Commercial Vehicles
- Military Vehicles
- Unmanned Aerial Systems
Key Honeywell Advantages
- Based on mmW sensor (60-64 GHz)
- Altitude <300m
- Indefinite precise hover as error doesn’t grow with time (unlike INS)
- Error approx. 1-2% distance travelled
- Cm level-range accuracy
- Impervious to environmental conditions such as rain, fog, dust, and snow
