MEMS Gyros, MEMS Accelerometers and MEMS IMUs for Marine Position Control
Our affordable, ultra-reliable MEMS devices offer FOG-type performance, for precise motion and position monitoring and control on ships, submersibles and other marine craft.
In a market that usually involves high-value assets, we understand the need for reliability, precision control, and long term stability to avoid the need for periodic re-calibration. The marine electronics sector has in the past been accustomed to using FOG and DTG gyroscopes for their low drift performance. These devices, originally designed for military applications, can be extremely costly and not the most reliable.
Silicon Sensing’s patented VSG (Vibrating Structure Gyroscope) with its unique ‘balanced shell’ resonating silicon ring and double closed-loop electronic architecture enables best-in-class bias and noise performance from a MEMS gyroscope. All of our gyroscopes are commercial MEMS sensors and are non-ITAR components.
Our most popular products for marine applications include:
DMU11 MEMS angular rate and linear acceleration sensors
