U-Series

Tactical Grade Performance In A Small, Lightweight Package

The high gain of piezoelectric elements delivers best-in-class noise performance. The control electronics operate in a closed-loop mode providing a high system bandwidth which is essential when operating in highly dynamic environments.

These gyroscopes can facilitate customized mounting solutions and, due to their high dynamic range, low noise, and high MTBF, combined with the small size make this gyroscope family the ideal choice for platform stabilization.

Applications

The 2000 and 1000 U-Series Gyroscopes are applicable in many demanding applications.

  • Platform Stabilisation
  • Stabilisation Systems
  • Commercial Ship Navigation/Gyrocompass
  • GPS Aiding for positioning systems in high-precision agriculture and mapping
  • Stabilizations of survey instruments
  • Flight control and navigation for Medium-to-Large UAV’s
  • Flight Control for Helicopters and Aircraft
