High-precision Land Defense Systems, commercial railway transportation, and autonomous vehicles, all require performance and reliability commitments.
With an exceptionally low output noise of less than 0.12 °/√h, our POLARIS MEMS Rate Gyro Units are highly suitable for precision stabilization and electro-optical systems.
However, when compactness is essential, our POLARIS MEMS IMU technologies become the premier choice. For instance, in gimbal systems that require reduced size, extended operational lifespan, and superior bias and scale factor stability and repeatability.
Hi-Rel FOG (Fiber Optic Gyroscopes) and HRG (Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscopes) have been utilized in space for decades, demonstrating remarkable performance, robustness, and reliability aboard numerous long-term and high-value commercial satellites. However, their significant cost and size constraints impede their integration into the rapidly expanding New Space initiatives.
IXSENS is at the forefront of developing a pioneering Rate Measurement Unit (RMU) derived from its miniature MEMS Polaris series. Featuring an innovative, simplified, and compact design utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic components, this upcoming solution is poised to redefine the landscape of the New Space (NS) segment. It promises unprecedented levels of compactness, cost-efficiency, exceptionally low noise characteristics, extended lifetime, and high performance for Earth Observation and next-generation Telecom platforms.
In the aerospace sector, prioritizing reduced life cycle costs, reliability, safety, security of supply, and accuracy is crucial.
As a starting point, IXSENS' portfolio of ITAR-free POLARIS MEMS IMUs offers a distinct CSWaP (Cost, Size, Weight, and Power) advantage over alternative technologies. It addresses the entire spectrum of aerospace applications, including the expanding UAV market segment (unmanned Aerial Vehicle). Within its category, boasting sub-15°/h (2 to 10°/h typical) and 500 micro g stability over the full temperature range, it is acknowledged as the premier option currently available.
These advantages stem from advanced manufacturing techniques, material selection, rigorous testing procedures, and comprehensive control over our sensors’ design, ensuring they deliver inertial-grade stability and repeatability even in the most demanding environments.
In addition, IXSENS is spearheading the development of an advanced IMU utilizing proprietary innovative Coriolis gyro design and cutting-edge digital algorithms. This initiative aims to create future high-accuracy navigation IMUs capable of servicing a wide array of needs across commercial and defense applications. By pushing the boundaries of technology, IXSENS remains committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions that redefine the standards of precision and reliability in the aerospace industry.
Commercial ships, service vessels, naval ships, warships, or remote-controlled vehicles face considerable challenges in meeting stringent mission objectives across various sea state conditions without the support of reliable Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) and pointing/stabilization platforms equipped with high-performance, inertial-grade accelerometers.
IXSENS' precision sensors, exemplified by the POLARIS MEMS IMU, stand as the most cost-effective technological solutions, offering unparalleled performance at a competitive price point tailored for high-grade maritime platforms.
Encased within a sealed package and subjected to extensive factory testing, each of IXSENS' inertial-grade sensors boasts a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) exceeding several hundred hours, thus outperforming alternative solutions available on the market.
