A vehicle-mounted FOG orientation and positioning system (gyro bias repeatability ≤50μg) with fast startup, RS-422/Ethernet output and extended-temperature operation, suited to demanding navigation and stabilization applications.
The Merak-L03(60S) FOG Orientation and Positioning System (INS-L) is a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) orientation and positioning system (INS-L) from the Merak series, designed for vehicle-mounted north-finding, orientation and positioning. It combines a fiber optic gyroscope triad with quartz flexible accelerometers and supports both static and moving-base alignment. The unit delivers a dynamic range of at least ±400°/s with excellent bias stability and low angular random walk. Key performance figures include Accelerometer Bias Repeatability (monthly, 1σ) ≤50μg; Accelerometer Scale Factor Accuracy (monthly, 1σ) ≤50ppm; Gyro Bias Repeatability (1σ) ≤0.05°/hr; Gyro Scale Factor Accuracy (1σ) ≤50ppm; Gyro Accuracy (10 s, 1σ) ≤0.1°/hr; Angular Random Walk (1σ) ≤0.01°/√hr. A companion “Deep Pilot” variant (SD-GL03) with the same specifications is also available. Electrical interfacing is provided through high-speed serial or Ethernet links with fast startup, and the unit operates over an extended industrial temperature range with high MTBF for long-endurance missions. Typical applications include ground vehicles, tanks, self-propelled artillery and other vehicle-mounted platforms that require rapid orientation, heading keeping and positioning, optionally aided by GNSS or an odometer. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer’s 2026 catalog and datasheet.
