NCOM and MCOM

NCOM is a data format designed by OxTS for the efficient communication of navigation measurements and other data. It is a very compact format and only includes core measurements, which makes it particularly suitable for inertial navigation systems. NCOM is utilised in many of our products.

Users can freely develop custom-written software for specific needs and applications. OxTS also provides code written in C that can decode NCOM, and includes routines to rotate many of the outputs into different co-ordinate frames.

As well as NCOM, we have an almost identical format called MCOM, which was developed specifically for marine navigation.
