iFOG-IMU-1: Inertial Measurement Unit, class 1 deg/hr, small size and FOG based
Tactical Grade IMU (available in cylindrical and cuboid shape)
The iFOG-IMU-1-A is a very small size IMU with cuboid shape, consisting of 3 fiber optical gyros (FOG) in closed-loop technology of class 0.9 deg/hr and 3 servo-accelerometers of class 2 mg.
The iFOG-IMU-1-B contains the same core sensors, but comes in a cylindrical shape housing.
- < 0.9 deg/hr / 2 mg inertial performance (day-to-day, over temperature)
- 1'000 Hz data rate if externally triggered
- 50 / 100 / 200 400 Hz data rate if internally triggered (free running mode)
- synchronous and asynchronous (UART) RS422 Interface
- higher MTBF than comparable RLG systems
- Stabilization tasks
- INS/GPS navigation
- Surveying applications
- Guidance and Control
- designed for pipeline surveying projects
- UAV applications; also used in missiles and rockets
- used in many countries / applications worldwide
The IMU is designed for ruggedized applications. The unit can be used shock-mounted or hard-mounted, i.e. also without shock-absorbers within suitable environment. The data output can be triggered and the data are sent via an UART RS422 or via a synchronous RS422 interface (HDLC).
The iFOG-IMU-1 systems are manufactured in Germany and can be used as a replacement for Litton’s LN-200 or Honeywell’s HG1700 /1900.
No export license is required for using the device outside of Germany / Europe in commercial applications (only an end use statement is required). iMAR’s iFOG-IMU-1 is in operation in China, India, Canada, Korea, USA, UK, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Germany etc.
