Gyroscopes make up for missing GPS signals
Inertial Aerosystems
Navigation grade ring laser gyroscopes
ETL Inertial Aerosystems has a range of navigation grade ring laser gyroscopes for use in situations where GPS satellite reception is intermittent, unsatisfactory or unavailable.
ETL Inertial Aerosystems has a range of navigation grade ring laser gyroscopes for use in situations where GPS satellite reception is intermittent, unsatisfactory or unavailable.
These precision products can be used as components for a full inertial navigation systems such as a gyro compass, attitude and heading reference system or inertial measurement unit.
A single unit can be used as an accurate heading reference.
Three models are available with in run bias stabilities of 0.003, 0.01 and 0.04deg/h.
The gyros weigh 450g and measure 88mm diameter.
They are ruggedly built with an MTBF better than 80kh.
Applications are found in oceanography, UUVs, land vehicles, defence and aerospace.
