EMCORE Introduces New TAC-450 IMUs Integrated with PIC Technology, Tactical-grade Gyros, and Inertial-grade Accelerometers
December 06 2022 - 8:30AM
EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense,
communications, and sensing markets, announced today the
introduction of the TAC-450 line of Inertial Measurement Units
(IMUs), which includes three high-performance IMUs with
tactical-grade photonic Fiber Optic Gyros (FOGs), and features
EMCORE′s patented Photonic Integrated Chip (PIC) technology.
The EMCORE TAC-450 line of IMUs are offered in a compact housing
resulting in a smaller, lighter package that expands the types of
potential autonomous applications that can use EMCORE’s new IMU
technology. The PIC Inside™ design with lower power electronics
also delivers exceptional product life and reliability with
outstanding shock/vibration tolerance. Each TAC-450 IMU offers
dynamic and precise sensor performance providing exceptional
navigation capability and environmental robustness for challenging
applications.
The TAC-450 IMUs, which include the TAC-450-360, -340, and -320,
are designed with high bandwidth, low-noise, photonic gyros and are
available in a variety of performance levels with inertial-grade
accelerometers and magnetometer options. Accelerometers used in the
TAC-450 IMUs offer significant sensitivity and accuracy in their
dynamic ranges. This means EMCORE TAC-450 IMUs are designed to
deliver excellent drift (bias stability) and noise (velocity random
walk) performance. TAC-450 IMUs also feature easy integration with
flexible power and communications interfaces, robust performance
and survivability, and increased product life due to the PIC
technology. Faster gyro response and measurements for highly
dynamic applications are available in the TAC-450-320 and -340.
Backward compatibility to popular IMUs with exportable, dual-use
technology makes all new TAC-450 IMUs easy to integrate with a
flexible interface and programmable message outputs.
“The TAC-450 products represent the future of EMCORE’s inertial
sensor tactical product platform with the products sharing common
software, electronics, and circuit boards,” noted Matthew Vargas,
Director, Business Development/Sales for EMCORE. “This commonality
makes it easier to offer a wide range of performance by varying
optical fiber length and coil size, creating greater flexibility to
tailor these precision FOGs and FOG-based inertial systems to our
customer’s needs,” added Mr. Vargas.
EMCORE TAC-450 IMUs are designed for the most challenging
applications, including autonomous trucks and people movers,
drones, AUVs, ROVs, and platform stabilization. The industries that
leverage these applications include transportation, military,
agriculture, construction, and mining. With the new TAC-450-360,
TAC-450-340, and TAC-450-320 IMUs, EMCORE provides multiple options
for engineers seeking improved performance and a choice of
low-noise, high-performance inertial-grade MEMS accelerometers
supporting up to 100g at a more favorable price than comparable
offerings.
