New Tactical-Grade Closed-Loop IMU for UAVs & Robotics

FIBERPRO's FI 200T integrates the latest innovations in closed-loop fiber optic gyroscopes and high-precision MEMS accelerometers

FIBERPRO has introduced the FI 200T, a new cutting-edge inertial measurement unit (IMU) that integrates the latest innovations in closed-loop fiber optic gyroscopes (FOG) and high-precision MEMS accelerometers to deliver superior performance and reliability.

According to the company, the IMU sets a new benchmark in inertial measurement technology, and is ideal for a range of unmanned systems applications including UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) and ROV (remotely operated vehicle) navigation and control as well as antenna and platform stabilization.

Key features and benefits of the FI 200T IMU include:

Enhanced Dynamic Range: With a maximum dynamic range of ±40g for accelerometers, the FI 200T excels in both motionless and high dynamic applications, providing precise data across varying operational conditions.

Precision and Accuracy: With a wide dynamic range, the FI 200T utilizes advanced tactical-grade closed-loop fiber optic gyroscopes and high-precision MEMS accelerometers to deliver reliable accuracy in the measurement of angular rates and linear acceleration. This ensures consistent performance and makes the device highly suited to a wide range of demanding applications.

Durable Design: Built for durability and longevity, the FI 200T is environmentally sealed and free from moving parts, ensuring low noise levels and a prolonged product lifespan. Its sturdy construction makes it suitable for challenging environments.

Versatile Applications: Designed to cater to diverse industries, including tactical navigation, platform stabilization, UAV navigation, and more, the FI 200T adapts seamlessly to various operational requirements, enhancing system integration and performance.

The FI 200T is engineered to deliver optimized performance and precision, offering excellent gyroscope and accelerometer specifications.

Gyroscopes:

  • Bias Repeatability: 0.5º/hr (1σ, RMS)
  • Scale Factor Accuracy: 100ppm (1σ, typical)
  • Noise (ARW): 0.025º/√hr (typical, 1σ)

Accelerometers:

  • Maximum Dynamic Range: ±40g
  • Bias Repeatability: 1.2 mg (over temp. range)
  • Scale Factor Accuracy: 500 ppm (over temp. range)
  • Noise (VRW): 0.045 m/s/√hr

According to FIBERPRO, the FI 200T represents a leap forward in inertial measurement technology, designed to enhance operational capabilities and drive technological advancements, and embodying precision, reliability, and versatility.
