New 95G and 250G accelerometers and 4000°/sec gyroscope ranges deliver navigation solution integrity in high-dynamic environments, supporting interceptors, missiles and hypersonic platforms.
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.vectornav.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VectorNav Technologies</a> has announced 95G and 250G accelerometer and 4000°/sec gyroscope ranges across its Tactical Series inertial measurement unit (IMU) and inertial navigation system (INS) product line. </p> <p>The enhancement directly addresses urgent requirements from defense contractors and platform developers operating in high-G mission profiles.</p> <p>Defense modernization priorities are accelerating procurements of interceptors, missiles, and hypersonic platforms that must operate through launch, interception, and aggressive maneuvering — often in environments where GPS is denied or degraded. In these conditions, navigation performance depends on the IMU’s ability to maintain solution integrity without saturating. </p> <p>The extended-range Tactical Series is designed to meet that requirement, providing the core inertial measurements that enable resilient position, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions to operate through mission-critical flight phases where conventional sensors fail.</p> <p>“The demand signal from our customers has been unmistakable,” said Jakub Maslikowski, VP of Business Development. “As platforms become faster, more maneuverable, and face increasingly sophisticated threats, high-performance inertial navigation solutions are needed at scale to meet the evolving demand. With nearly 20 years supporting these mission profiles, we know these applications—and the extended-range gyro and accelerometer will enable faster integration and more rapid fielding of reliable systems.”</p> <p>The extended-range accelerometer and gyroscope are available across the full VN-110 IMU and VN-210 / VN-310 INS product family, supporting applications including:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>high-speed interceptor platforms</li> <li>rapid-response strike systems </li> <li>hypersonic and advanced maneuvering vehicles</li> <li>counter-UAS and air defense systems</li> <li>next-generation precision guidance</li> </ul> <p>The extended-range configurations are drop-in compatible with existing platforms — no changes to form, fit or function — enabling immediate upgrades without redesign.</p> <p><p>The post <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com/vectornav-introduces-high-g-capability-across-tactical-imu-and-gnss-ins-series/">VectorNav introduces high-G capability across tactical IMU and GNSS/INS series</a> first appeared on <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.gpsworld.com">GPS World</a>.</p></p>
