KVH Introduces Inertial Measurement Unit with 25g Accelerometers Designed for Highly Dynamic Applications
June 11 2018 - 2:00AM
Ideal for challenging environments, the
1775 IMU is KVH’s highest performing fiber optic gyro-based
inertial measurement unit
KVH Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:KVHI) announced today that the 1775
IMU, its top-of-the-line fiber optic gyro (FOG)-based inertial
measurement unit (IMU), is now available with either ±10g or ±25g
accelerometers. The 1775 IMU is on display in KVH’s booth (B388,
Hall 5A) at the
Eurosatory exhibition in Paris
Nord Villepinte, France, from today through June 15.
The 1775 IMU with 25g accelerometers is designed
for highly dynamic applications, or applications with high levels
of acceleration, vibration, or shock. These applications include:
positioning and navigation systems for drilling, mining, and
pipeline inspection and maintenance; mobile mapping systems using
multiple sensors such as radar, cameras, and LIDAR; high-speed
gimbals; and manned and unmanned platform stabilization and
navigation systems.
“System designers and integrators now have a
solution with superior performance in the most challenging
environments,” says Jay Napoli, KVH’s vice president for FOG/OEM
sales. “This sensor is designed for stabilization and guidance
applications that require a perfect combination of performance,
size, and price.”
Providing ease of integration for designers of
high-level inertial navigation, guidance, or stabilization systems,
the 1775 IMU—in both the 10g and 25g variants—features an
asynchronous, full differential RS-422 interface with multiple
user-programmable features, such as data update rates from 1 to
5000 Hz, baud rates from 9.6 Kbps to 4147 Kbps, as well as several
other parameters. It includes a 3-axis magnetometer for automatic
gyro bias compensation, even in the presence of strong magnetic
fields. Both the 10g and 25g variants of the 1775 IMU are designed
for systems and applications where very high bandwidth, as well as
low latency, low noise, and low drift are critical parameters for
success.
The 1775 IMU is KVH’s premier inertial measurement
unit, and is part of the product line that includes the 1725 IMU
and the 1750 IMU, which also deliver excellent FOG reliability and
accuracy at a range of performance levels and price points. All
three IMUs leverage the proven technology of KVH’s DSP-1760 FOG,
which is the world’s smallest high performance FOG. These IMUs
provide extremely accurate, reliable data in environments with
shock, vibration, and thermal variables, all in a compact form
factor. The product line provides a complete range of choices for
advanced 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) sensors with exceptional
performance.
KVH is one of the only fiber optic gyro
manufacturers to control the entire production process, from
creating E•Core® ThinFiber™, its own specially designed
polarization-maintaining optical fiber, to packaging its gyros
together in advanced systems for inertial measurement, inertial
navigation, and attitude heading and reference systems. As a
result, KVH’s open-loop fiber optic gyros offer outstanding
accuracy and excellent durability at a lower cost than competing
systems.
KVH is a leading innovator for assured navigation
and autonomous accuracy using high-performance sensors and
integrated inertial systems. KVH’s widely-fielded
TACNAV® systems are currently in use by the U.S. Army and
Marine Corps as well as many allied militaries around the world.
KVH’s FOGs and FOG-based IMUs are in use today in a wide variety of
applications ranging from optical, antenna, and sensor
stabilization systems to mobile mapping solutions and autonomous
platforms and cars.
