Positioning & Georeferencing

Commercial Aircraft Positioning

EMCORE’s quartz MEMS SDG500, QRS11, SDG1400 series and SDD3000 inertial gyroscopes provide independent device control in commercial transport installations where superior bias stability and repeatability are essential, and high-performance characteristics must be experienced in aircraft vibration environments, inertial/GPS navigational systems. Solid-state and hermetically sealed, these sensors assure long life without degradation. Because of their ultra-compact size, they are ideally suited for restricted-space packaging with system components. EMCORE’s SDI300-X77 IMU, based on our SDI500 quartz MEMS IMU, has been qualified by the FAA for Boeing’s 777X Integrated Flight Control Electronics (IFCE) Fly-By-Wire (FBW) system and four units will be supplied for every 777X manufactured.
