EMCORE

EMCORE makes inertial navigation products, including fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) and ring laser gyro (RLG) technology and the Systron Donner line of quartz MEMS navigation sensors. The company says its key differentiator is the ability to address several performance tiers, from tactical to navigation grade, within a single supplier ecosystem.

Its broad tactical-grade portfolio covers gyros and multi-axis sensors, inertial measurement units, inertial navigation systems and the TACNAV tactical navigation suite.

Product types

• Open-loop and closed-loop fiber optic gyroscopes
• Quartz MEMS gyroscopes, such as the QRS-116 single-axis tactical grade analog gyroscope, and single-axis analog gyroscopes
• Inertial measurement units (IMU) and inertial navigation systems (INS)
• TACNAV tactical navigation for vehicles
• Unhoused FOG models such as the TAC-DSP-1750 and the TAC-450, and the housed DSP-3400, several offered in non-ITAR versions

Applications listed

The company lists military ground vehicle navigation, missile guidance and control, positioning and georeferencing, spacecraft positioning and control, unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and aerospace, aviation and space travel. Commercial and industrial uses include camera gimbals for drones and handheld devices, industrial robotic systems, navigation for driverless vehicles and amusement park thrill rides.
