MEMS Gyroscopes
Our MEMS gyroscopes offer significant size, weight and cost advantages over FOG and RLG units while still delivering the angular velocity measurement performance required for mission-critical drones and robotics. We offer options with a range of precision and performance parameters, ensuring that you can select a gyro that suits your specific design requirements.
Fiber Optic Gyroscopes
Our fiber optic gyroscopes provide the utmost in precision and stability for the most demanding navigation and stabilization requirements. With ultra-low drift rate and excellent immunity to electromagnetic interference, they are ideal for high-end drone and robotics applications where size, weight and power are less constrained.
Single-axis FOG units are highly suited to simple stabilization tasks such as antennas, turrets and cameras, while three-axis FOGs serve complex navigation and 3D angular motion tracking applications.
Single-Axis vs. Three-Axis Fiber Optic Gyroscope: Which One is Right for Your System?
Are you struggling to choose the right fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) for your aerospace, defense, or industrial projects? Without the right gyroscopic system, your applications could suffer from instability, inaccurate navigation, and even failure in mission-critical environments. Understanding the differences between single-axis and three-axis fiber optic gyroscopes can help you make an informed decision and ensure the success of your projects.
MEMS Inertial Measurement Units
Combining three axes of accelerometers and gyroscopes, our MEMS IMUs provide high-accuracy measurements of angular velocity and linear acceleration, delivering critical navigation and control information for drones and autonomous systems. These compact, lightweight and low-power systems are ideal for smaller UAV and robotics designs, and feature a range of performance options.
MEMS IMUs for UAV/Drone Flight Control: Best Models for Precision and Stability
When selecting the MEMS IMU for UAV or drone flight control, it’s essential to ensure top-notch precision and stability. Finding the right one can be difficult, especially with the variety of options available on the market. Poor performance in flight control could lead to loss of control, inaccurate navigation, or overall reduced safety.
FOG Inertial Measurement Units
Our high-end FOG IMUs provide class-leading accuracy and ultra-low drift with bias instability of down to 0.001°/hr, making them ideal for mission-critical UAV and unmanned system designs undertaking long-duration missions. The robust units offer exceptional reliability under high levels of shock and vibration and other demanding environmental conditions.
MEMS Inertial Navigation Systems
Our MEMS inertial navigation systems provide accurate, stable and reliable position, velocity, and orientation data for drones, robotics and autonomous vehicles. The cost-effective and low-SWaP MEMS INS range includes single- or dual-antenna variants, as well as GNSS-aided units for uninterrupted navigation performance in GPS-denied environments.
FOG Inertial Navigation Systems
Our FOG-based inertial navigation systems output ultra-precise position, velocity, and orientation data with low drift and superior resistance to shock, vibration, and extremes of temperature. All units are GNSS-aided and feature sophisticated Kalman filtering algorithms, providing unparalleled performance under poor signal conditions such as in urban canyons or during jamming and spoofing.
