EMCORE Navigation Program Highlights
EMCORE designs and manufactures the world’s highest-performance
Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG), Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), and MEMS inertial
sensors and systems. Our FOGs, Inertial Reference Units (IRU), Inertial
Measurement Units (IMU), and FOG and RLG Inertial Navigation Systems
(INS), combined with our world-leading Quartz MEMS (QMEMS) Gyros,
Accelerometers, IMUs, and GPS/INS products, deliver clear, continuously
improving performance advantages over competing products.
Our navigation solutions feature high bandwidth, high input rate,
and low noise, combined with proprietary integrated optoelectronics,
RLG, and QMEMS technologies to provide precise, reliable
stabilization, geolocation, guidance, navigation, and control
in critical Aerospace & Defense, and Commercial applications.
EMCORE’s Navigation & Inertial Sensing programs have received
multiple U.S. patents and have been qualified for many key
Aerospace & Defense programs including equipment for navigation
and flight control applications in United Launch Alliance (ULA)
multistage space launch vehicles.
