Mems Accelerometers from GuideNav

MEMS Accelerometers

GuideNav’s MEMS accelerometers provide stability and ultra-reliable performance in a compact, lightweight and cost-effective package that meets demanding military and aerospace requirements.

MEMS Gyroscopes

GuideNav’s MEMS gyroscopes are ideal for space-constrained and cost-sensitive applications, offering a lower SWaP-C footprint than fiber optic and ring laser gyros while still delivering robust and reliable angular velocity measurement. The product range includes options to suit a variety of precision and performance requirements.

Fiber Optic Gyroscopes

GuideNav’s fiber optic gyroscopes provide the highest levels of precision and stability for navigation, control and stabilization of mission-critical military and aerospace platforms. With ultra-low drift rate, no moving parts, and excellent immunity to electromagnetic interference, they are ideal for applications with fewer constraints on size, weight and power and cost.

MEMS Inertial Measurement Units

MEMS Inertial Measurement Units

Combining ultra-miniature accelerometers and gyroscopes, GuideNav’s MEMS IMUs provide high-accuracy 3D measurements of angular velocity and linear acceleration, enabling precise motion and orientation tracking. These compact, lightweight and low-power systems are ideal for SWaP-C conscious designs, and feature a range of performance options.

FOG IMU from GuideNav

FOG Inertial Measurement Units

The company’s 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 applications and extended-duration deployments. The robust units offer exceptional reliability under high levels of shock and vibration and other demanding environmental conditions.

MEMS INS from GuideNav

MEMS Inertial Navigation Systems

GuideNav’s MEMS inertial navigation systems provide accurate, stable and reliable position, velocity, and orientation data output in a low-SWaP and cost-effective package. The product range includes single- and dual-antenna variants, as well as GNSS-aided units for uninterrupted navigation performance in signal-degraded environments or during jamming and spoofing attacks.

FOG INS from GuideNav

FOG Inertial Navigation Systems

GuideNav’s FOG-based GNSS-aided inertial navigation systems output ultra-precise position, velocity, and orientation data with excellent long-term stability and superior resistance to shock, vibration, and extremes of temperature. Offering tactical- or navigation-grade performance, all units feature sophisticated Kalman filtering algorithms, providing continuous accurate output under poor signal conditions such as in urban canyons or during jamming and spoofing.
