Navigation & Inertial systems
Based on proven expertise and ground-breaking technological innovation, the navigation systems developed by Safran Electronics & Defense adapt perfectly to security missions. From logistics vehicles to observation vehicles, the Epsilon terrestrial navigators are both compact and reliable, covering all your needs. The range of gyroscopes (MS56 10, 20, 30 and 20BM60 series) is designed based on Safran's patented vibrating gyro technology, guaranteeing unrivaled robustness and reliability.
Epsilon™: Trustful Coordinates Under Any Conditions
With the Epsilon family, Safran offers long lasting navigation performance INS*/GNSS* hybrid land navigation systems. Even in GNSS denied environment, Epsilon™ provides accurate position and heading for hours.
Highly reliable and fully interchangeable, EpsilonOne and Epsilon10 offer the most cost-effective and ultra-compact navigation solutions for any generic vehicle platforms.
Epsilon 20: Inertial land navigation & orientation unit
Epsilon20 is an innovative and high performance land navigation unit providing accurate position and angles even in case of GPS outage.
Thanks to its advanced vibrating gyros and its innovative alignment method, Epsilon20 achieves a breakthrough by providing accurate data quicker than any other inertial navigation system.
Easily integrated in any vehicles, Epsilon20 has a straightforward design for mobile systems such as:
- Satcom-on-the-move systems
- Modern mining systems
- Survey vehicles
- Autonomous vehicles
FMU series
Capitalizing on Safran Electronics & Defense's 60-year experience in inertial systems, these units are equipped with FOG gyro technology and servo-looped MEMS accelerometers.
FMU IMUs, as well as their packaged versions, are particularly designed for civil and industrial applications which need to combine very high reliability, excellent signal stability and very low noise.
PRIMUS
Thanks to its 3 HRG sensors, Safran Electronics & Defense's PRIMUS Inertial Measurement Unit family achieves high performance in a small size and is perfectly ready for integration into applications even with the most demanding requirements.
Rate Gyro Unit 10 20 & 30MS56 series
The MS56 series was specifically designed for applications combining a very low signal-to-noise ratio and exceptional bias stability, all at a reasonable cost. The gyro units come as a kit or in a hermetically-sealed box with up to 3 axes, depending on customer requirements.
The "Quapason" sensor is a highly robust resonating gyroscope.
The gyros are dedicated to sights and optical systems, RCWS, small and medium-caliber guns, feed forward gyro for more precise stabilization, as well IMU in civil applications.
Drawing on its expertise covering all gyroscope technologies (vibrating gyros, wheeled mechanical gyros, fiber-optic and laser units), Safran Electronics & Defense can deliver the right technologies and the best combination of cost and precision to meet all stabilization requirements.
Rate Gyro Unit 20BM60 series
The 20BM range was designed for high-precision stabilization, on equipment such as large caliber guns, gyro-stabilized gimbals, naval and land turrets or optical sights.
As part of the extensive panel of inertial systems designed and manufactured by Safran Electronics & Defense, this dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG) offers the best compromise between precision required for stabilization purposes, robustness, reliability, and price.
The gyroscopes or gyrometers come as a kit or in a hermetically-sealed box depending on customer requirements.
Rate Gyro Unit 20BM67-HP
The new 20BM67-HP range by Safran Electronics & Defense delivers a digital Plug & Play solution for stabilization needs.
This unit features a dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG) delivering the best compromise between precision required for stabilization purposes, robustness, reliability, and price, as well as a digital readout.
This new range is well-suited for large-caliber guns, gyro-stabilized gimbals, naval and land turrets or optical sights.
The gyro units come as a kit or in a hermetically-sealed box depending on customer requirements.
