TAC-440 Quartz MEMS Tactical Inertial Measurement Unit

Ultra-Compact, Rugged Tactical Grade MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit

The TAC-440 is the highest performance MEMS-based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and is the only MEMS-based IMU to demonstrate 1°/hour gyro bias and 1 mg accelerometer bias stability and very low 0.05°/√hour angle random walk (ARW) over wide temperature ranges. The breakthrough performance of the TAC-440 IMU is based on a EMCORE’s proven quartz MEMS inertial sensor technology. EMCORE’s quartz technology enables repeatable, high-volume production of precisely machined sensor structures combined with the inherent large signal output and thermal stability of quartz materials.

The TAC-440 is a compact IMU constructed with EMCORE’s latest generation quartz gyros, quartz accelerometers, and high-speed signal processing to achieve outstanding precision performance. The TAC-440 IMU is designed for demanding, mission-critical, rugged environments. The solid-state quartz sensors and hermetically sealed IMU construction provide reliable MTBF. Continuous Built-in Test (BIT), configurable communications protocols, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection make the TAC-440 IMU easy to use in a wide range of higher order integrated system applications.
