Innovative Inertial Solutions for Unmanned Systems by Gladiator Technologies

Gladiator Technologies stands at the forefront of providing robust, high-performance MEMS inertial systems and sensors tailored for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), and various robotic platforms. In collaboration with Unmanned Systems Technology (UST), they showcase their cutting-edge capabilities. Their ‘Gold’ profile emphasizes how their complex low-noise inertial sensor technologies can enhance a diverse array of applications in sectors such as Automotive, Aerospace, Defense, Marine, and Industrial.

Advanced Inertial Measurement Units (imus)

gladiator’s advanced Inertial Measurement Units (imus) are engineered to excel in the challenging conditions that unmanned systems ofen encounter. These units are designed with environmental sealing, precise alignment, and internal vibrational isolation. They also incorporate bias, scale factor, and misalignment modeling across the full operating temperature spectrum. A unified messaging protocol across all IMUs allows users to seamlessly transition between performance settings without requiring modifications to system software.

These IMUs cater to a variety of size, weight, and noise/bias specifications. For detailed comparisons of product specifications, please refer to Gladiator’s profile page.

GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Systems

Gladiator’s GPS-aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) share the same rugged environmental protection as their IMUs. Each system is equipped with a 72-channel GPS receiver that updates at 18Hz, paired with a high-performance MEMS inertial suite. Utilizing advanced Kalman Filter algorithms, these systems optimize inertial navigation for uavs and other unmanned vehicles, especially during brief GPS outages.Similar to the IMUs, all GPS/INS units feature a common messaging protocol for easy performance setting adjustments without system software changes.

INS/GPS units are available in various configurations to meet different size, weight, and noise/bias requirements. For more facts, please check the product specification comparison on Gladiator’s profile page.

High-Performance G300D Triaxial MEMS Gyro

The G300D Triaxial MEMS Gyro is designed to deliver lower noise levels, enhanced bias stability, and superior environmental sealing. These high-performance units are temperature compensated for bias and include g-sensitivity correction,making them capable of enduring the intense vibrations and shocks typical in demanding unmanned systems applications.

With a bandwidth of 250 hz, industry-leading bias stability during operation and across temperature variations, and an output rate of 8kHz, the G300D is available in variants with rate ranges of 250°/s or 490°/s.Weighing in at under 18 grams, it is the most compact triaxial gyro in its performance category.

Specialized DIGS 100 Inertial Guidance System

The DIGS 100 Inertial Guidance System is an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) specifically designed for downhole applications, such as orientation and directional guidance in utility and vertical well drilling. This compact and durable MEMS AHRS provides internally temperature-compensated RS422/RS485 outputs for pitch, roll, and yaw angles, and is rigorously tested to meet IP68 standards.

Its small form factor, combined with high-performance, low-noise gyros and accelerometers, makes it ideal for environments with stringent space constraints during drilling operations.
