Aerosphere Power & Navigation

Aerosphere Power and Navigation, also called APN, is an aerospace and defense technology company. It makes power conversion, navigation and sensing systems. The company says its customers work on land, sea, air and space. It describes its systems as ones where reliability and precision matter most.

APN was set up as a standalone unit within Velocity One. It combines two older product lines. One is the power conversion line from Cartridge Actuated Devices, which includes static inverters and frequency converters. The other is the navigation line from EMCORE Space and Navigation, which includes IMUs, IRUs and fire control systems. The site says the two together give more than 60 years of combined heritage.

Its main product lines are inertial navigation and power systems. The featured product is the Super-TAC Fiber Optic IMU. It is a tactical grade inertial measurement unit with gyro bias stability below 0.05 degrees per hour. The site lists RS-422 and Ethernet connections. Navigation hardware is built for places where GPS is not available and for high vibration.

The company supports tactical aircraft, commercial air transport, maritime vehicles and ground vehicles. It says it supports more than 100 platforms in over 30 countries. It lists nine products in its catalog and holds ISO 9001 and AS9100D certification.

The site invites visitors to request a datasheet through a form. APN is also hiring engineers and has a page for open roles.
