EMCORE Announces New SDI170 Quartz MEMS Tactical Grade Inertial Measurement Unit for Replacement of Legacy Ring Laser Gyro Products
EMCORE’s SDI170 IMU is ideal for continuous use applications with no wear-out components and delivers highly linear accelerometer performance and longer life compared to the HG1700 IMU. It is non-ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) controlled and has completed extensive internal and external customer testing to confirm compatibility to replace legacy products. The unit is designed for a wide range of high-precision, integrated commercial and defense applications including aircraft AHRS (Attitude Heading Reference Systems), GPS-aided navigation, ground surveying, mobile mapping, ROVs, autonomous vehicles, tactical weapons, and stabilization platforms.
“The introduction of the SDI170 IMU marks a significant milestone in the industry and for EMCORE. Now customers everywhere in the world have sourcing options for this widely used tactical performance package,” said
EMCORE’s SDI170 IMU performs in highly dynamic ±1,074 deg/sec and ±50 G standard (±70 G optional) linear acceleration conditions and delivers 1°/hr gyro bias and 1 mg accelerometer bias stability with very low 0.02°/√hr
In addition to EMCORE’s latest generation solid-state hermetically sealed quartz gyroscopes and accelerometers, the SDI170 IMU (like the HG1700-AG58) communicates using the high-speed SDLC protocol over the industry-standard RS-422 electrical interface for seamless compatibility and outstanding precision performance. With continuous BIT (Built-in Test) monitoring and EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) protection designed into a compact 33 cubic inch package, EMCORE’s SDI170 will provide reliable 20-year operating and storage life without calibration in demanding, mission-critical environments.
The SDI170 is expected to be available for high-rate order shipment with short lead times beginning in
