Silicon Sensing

Silicon Sensing designs and manufactures MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) inertial sensors: gyroscopes, accelerometers and inertial measurement units. The company has been making inertial products for 25 years and says its position in MEMS inertial technology is delivering performance in the areas that matter most for navigation, such as noise, bias instability and random walk. Its products are used in aerospace, space, unmanned systems, marine and industrial applications.

Products

• MEMS gyroscopes designed to meet all levels of performance requirement, from small, low-cost navigation and pointing gyros upwards
• Multi-axis accelerometers
• Fully calibrated inertial measurement units, including the DMU41, a nine-degree-of-freedom high performance IMU described as a non-ITAR MEMS alternative to fibre optic gyro grade units, competing with heavier, larger and more costly FOG-based IMUs

Approach

Silicon Sensing manages research, design and manufacturing end to end, controlling every aspect of its product range to maintain quality and performance. The company describes its goal as redefining MEMS inertial sensing, with the DMU41 presented as its next-generation inertial measurement unit for precise motion sensing. Product pages give performance figures, datasheets and ordering details, and the site publishes company statistics and news on its about page.

Applications

The sensors serve platforms that need reliable attitude, heading and motion data, including satellites and launch vehicles, drones and unmanned systems, antenna pointing and stabilisation, and vehicles operating where GNSS signals are unreliable. Silicon Sensing exhibits at space, satellite and unmanned systems shows.

Events

Silicon Sensing is listed as an exhibitor at Space Tech Expo Europe 2026, Space-Comm Expo 2027, XPONENTIAL 2027 and SATELLITE 2027.
