Based on real-world experience, FOG gyros outperform MEMS in terms of long-term stability, vibration immunity, and thermal robustness in vehicle-mounted LRF applications. MEMS is still viable for space-constrained or budget-sensitive platforms, but requires careful compensation design.

In practical deployments, sustaining the precision and stability of a Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOG) requires more than advanced sensor design—it demands a calibrated system framework that includes thermal compensation, mechanical isolation, and lifecycle-aware maintenance.

That’s why I rely on Fiber Optic Gyroscope IMUs—they bring unmatched precision and resilience, transforming shaky, unreliable gimbals into rock-steady platforms no matter the conditions.

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) operate independently of external signals by measuring acceleration and angular velocity through internal sensors, making them indispensable in environments where GNSS signals are blocked or unreliable. Through sophisticated sensor fusion, error compensation, and AI-driven corrections, INS delivers continuous, accurate positioning in the most demanding scenarios.

An IMU measures motion, while an INS uses IMU data to compute position and orientation over time—IMU is a sensor, INS is a system.

An Inertial Navigation System (INS) determines position, velocity, and orientation using only internal motion sensors, enabling precise navigation across a wide range of applications—including autonomous systems, underwater platforms, and mission-critical defense operations.
