  • IMU Application Guide

    Learn about inertial measurement units (IMUs) and their wide range of applications. Safran Federal Systems has a variety of IMU solutions to meet your mission's needs. IMU Application Guide DOWNLOAD PDF By Safran Federal Systems Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) are a critical component to a wide range of systems, from Unmanned systems, munitions and other applications for today’s harshest environments. Safran designs and manufactures High Accuracy Gyro and IMU solutions with industry best SWaP to cost ratio. What is an IMU? A combination of accelerometers, rate gyros and electronics • Three accelerometers in the orthogonal sensor axes • Three rate gyros on the same sensor axes • Inertial electronics (IE) to process and output the signals • Outputs are digital rates, accelerations, and status • May be installed in a standalone chassis with a power supply or used as an Inertial Sensor Assembly (ISA) within a navigator. IMUs provide rate and acceleration data in the ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ axis offering systems live feedback on their movement. In the case of a guided missile, this feedback data ensures the ordinance stays on target while in aircraft they are a critical component ensuring the avionics suite operates and controls the platform as expected. This guide discusses several different IMU types, their applications and how to choose the best variant for your platform. Evolution of Gyroscope Technologies Safran has invested in the next generation of MEMS and Hemispherical Resonating Gyro (HRG) technologies. These implementations offer optimized Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) characteristics, along with industry-leading reliability at both the component and system levels. MEMS gyro technology takes form in our STIM products offering stabilization, guidance and control capabilities to platforms which are SWaP constrained. HRG technologies range from Tactical to Navigation and Navigation+ grade offering platforms northfinding and navigation capabilities. The next page breaks down these applications and how our IMU systems are best suited for various applications and environments. IMU Applications Matching the right IMU technologies to the appropriate application types is critical to ensuring systems react as expected to their environment. Fundamental gyroscope and accelerometer technology types each have their own strengths, Safran’s experts can help in ensuring the right match for your application. Below are 4 common application types along with an example use case. Stabilization Stabilization of gimballed systems requires high speed (low latency) measurement of platform rotations and vibrations, with low latency feedback to servo mechanisms that cancel out the motion, enabling stable pointing of cameras, other optical systems, or remote weapons. Applications Stabilization of cameras or other optical systems. Stabilization of Remote Weapon Systems Key Attributes High bandwidth Low latency Shock and vibe resilience Guidance/Control Guidance refers to the determination of the desired path of travel, or trajectory, to a designated target. Control refers to the manipulation of the forces, by way of steering controls, thrusters, etc., needed to execute guidance commands while maintaining vehicle stability. Applications Missile guidance, guided munitions, space launches where inertial data are used to control wings and thrusters Key Attributes High bandwidth Low latency Shock and vibe resilience Low cost for attritable systems. Orientation/AHRS Orientation is the ability to provide a local level and a heading reference such as azimuth and elevation (ground applications) or pitch, roll and heading (airborne applications).
