M5000 Subsea INS/MRU

The M5000 from Micro Magic is a compact, lightweight, pressure-proof fiber-optic strapdown inertial navigation system (INS/MRU) designed for demanding subsea and defense applications. Built around a three-axis high-precision fiber-optic gyroscope and quartz-flex accelerometer suite, it delivers accurate motion sensing and attitude data in GNSS-denied environments. Integrated with a mobile mapping-grade, multi-frequency GNSS receiver, the system offers flexible standalone positioning capability, while optional Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) integration further enhances underwater navigation accuracy.

Engineered for subsea vehicles and mission-critical defense platforms, the M5000 combines robust construction with a streamlined form factor to support constrained payload architectures. Its advanced fiber-optic sensing core minimizes drift and ensures high reliability under sustained pressure. The unit’s modular design allows seamless integration into autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and naval survey systems requiring precision navigation and motion reference functionality.
