UM-16 tracking system
UM-16 real-time tracking system is a professional solution for object and human positioning in enclosed spaces. UM-16 has outstanding characteristics and provides complete information about object location, orientation and movement.
- 6 degrees of freedom
- Determination of position with 0,5 mm accuracy
- Determination of orientation 0,5 ° accuracy
- Real-time tracking data acquisition
- Working zone up to 400 м2
- Simultaneous tracking of up to 16 objects
- Stable functioning in difficult operating conditions
Advantages of UM-16
The system simultaneously utilizes technologies of ultrasonic and inertial tracking, it not only provides unprecedented accuracy, but also is exceptionally reliable and shows no error accumulation over time. It is fully protected from any undesirable noise and difficult operating environment conditions.
UM-16 system is flexible. It is constructed on a modular principle so that the number of reception units and their layout can be defined according to the customer’s requirements and working zone configuration. Receiver modules are designed for convenient attachment to any surface.

Projects
IR coordinate marking system for ISS RUCAP has completed another R&D project for RSC "Energia" - Development, production, testing and maintenance of IR Coordinate-marking system (IR CMS) for VIZIR experiment. Flight unit of the system has been delivered to international Space Station for experiments. IR CMS tracks three dimensional сcoordinates of objects relative to the base coordinate system and records measurements to the board computer. IR Coordinate-marking system is designed for VIZIR experiment to determine the position of cosmonauts on board and is carried out on the Russian segment of International Space Station. | |
![]() | Tracking system for flight dispatcher simulator RUCAP completed the order for installation of UM16-M in flight dispatcher simulator developed by AVIAREAL ltd. |
![]() | Tracking system for medical training simulator In June Modernized tracking system UM-16M was supplied for professional Simulator of endovascular surgery that trains the specialists to perform minimally invasive surgery procedures. |
![]() | Tracking system for MI-8 fire fighting training simulator At the end of March RUCAP has finished modernization project for TSNTU "Dynamics" Company. The new tracking system UM16M has built-in ultrasonic and inertial sensors for position measurement and utilises optimised calculation algorithm. Other upgrades were also made for the positioning system of Mi-8 crew training simulator, which include extended working zone and better construct. |
![]() | Tracking system for handheld 3D scanner For the Ekaterinburg University of Information Sensors and Technologies on the base of UM-16 RUCAP has developed tracking system for multifunctional radio-locating unit "Locator". It denerates three-dimensional radio frequency image of the object of research with the help of built in UM-16 positioning system that calculates scanner's position in every moment of measurement. |
![]() | Coordinate marking system for ISS photography RUCAP developed “Coordinate-snap of photos” project in collaboration with R&D branch of "MATI" - RGTU “K.E.Tsiolkovsky” for RSC "Energia". The working specimen of the system was installed at the beginning of august on the Russian segment of the International Space Station for research purposes. At the end of august austronauts have made the first successfull testing of the equipment. The system is intended to determine the angle between camera direction and the base coordinate system at the moment of photo snap and to transfer the data to on-board computer. |
![]() | Tracking system for Yak-130 simulator By the order of Russian stock joint association "Specialized Machinery" RUCAP company has developed "Pilot's head tracking system for Yak-130 simulator" which simulates helmet-mounted target detection system "Sura". UM-16 tracking system determines position in coordinates (X, Y, Z) and degrees of angle (roll, pitch, yaw) of the pilot's head inside Yak-130 cabin. All measurements are transmitted into simulator's computing system for further calculation of target mark's coordinates. |
![]() | Crew training simulator for MI-8 helicopter In July 2011 RUCAP company successfully implemented this project for the TSNTU "Dynamics" Company and equipped Mi-8 crew training simulator with UM-16 positioning system. UM-16 tracking system is integrated with virtual reality glasses for support of the training process in the cargo cabin of Mi-8 training simulator. It ensures the operation of operator of the exterior suspension bracket and pilot-observer. Both observers through their virtual-reality glasses see the virtual surroundings, helicopter's cabin, cargo manhole and the exterior at the correct visual angle and can control their position and view by turning their heads like in reality. |
UM-16 applications
Aviation and military simulators
| UM-16 tracking system is the ideal solution for military training simulators of any purpose and allows not only to interact with virtual surroundings as with real world, but also to estimate the productivity of training. Implementation examples:
|
Professional simulators
| Virtual training systems also found their place in civil areas because they reduce costs of training and provide absolutely no risk of obtaining injuries:
|
Medical training simulators
| There are two key areas for use of tracking systems in medicine:
|
Virtual reality
| VR technologies let the user interact with real-time 3D graphics in a more intuitive, natural manner. This approach enhances the ability to understand, analyze, create and communicate. Virtual reality systems commonly use different kinds of 3D controllers to provide computer-human interation and that is where real-time tracking system can step in as the most natural and easy instrumet to control VR. UM-16 sensors can be applied to any part of a person's body and head so all moves are tracked real-time and are instantly transformed into computer commands to change virtual reality. |
