FMU is a multiple-axis fiber optic inertial measurement unit, with up to 6 degrees of freedom. Designed for industrial, civil and military applications, FMUs combine very high reliability, excellent signal stability and very low noise.
Performance suited to customer needs
Product development according to aviation certification process
High-volume, flexible manufacturing & repair capacity
The FOG inertial measurement unit is a critical component in gun/turret/gimbal stabilization systems. Multispectral day/night observation requires accurate targeting to meet users evolving mission requirements, even for the most critical tasks, while also keeping workload manageable. A FOG unit integrated in a thermal imager ensures a stabilized line-of-sight and video channel to observe the battlefield day and night.
Equipped with high-performance closed-loop FOG & MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) accelerometers, our FMUs ensure:
- Accuracy & integrity, guaranteed by the best quality of sensors and algorithms
- Robustness & reliability, guaranteed by deep disruptive innovations
- Low-life-cycle cost, guaranteed by a very high MTBF & low maintenance cost
Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
