A airborne optical-gyro inertial navigation system (INS) (gyro bias repeatability ≤100μg) with fast startup, RS-422/Ethernet output and extended-temperature operation, suited to demanding navigation and stabilization applications.
The Merak-A02(50S) Airborne Optical Gyro Inertial Navigation System (INS-A) is an airborne optical-gyro inertial navigation system (INS-A) from the Merak series. It integrates fiber optic gyroscopes (or, for the Dubhe-A1 high-end model, laser gyroscope technology) with quartz flexible accelerometers in a strapdown architecture and supports both ground-vibration-based and in-air 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) ≤100μg; Accelerometer Scale Factor Accuracy (monthly, 1σ) ≤100ppm; Gyro Bias Repeatability (1σ) ≤0.1°/hr; Gyro Scale Factor Accuracy (1σ) ≤100ppm; Gyro Accuracy (10 s, 1σ) ≤0.2°/hr; Angular Random Walk (1σ) ≤0.03°/√hr. A companion “Deep Pilot” variant (SD-GH02) 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 fixed-wing UAVs, rotary-wing UAVs and special aerial platforms that require high-accuracy navigation, guidance and attitude reference. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer’s 2026 catalog and datasheet.
