Problem
Aerospace and defense platforms require precise and reliable navigation, positioning, and stabilization, especially in environments where GPS or other external navigation aids may be unavailable or compromised. Traditional inertial systems can be bulky and may not meet the stringent Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) requirements of modern platforms.
Solution
EMCORE provides a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance inertial navigation solutions designed to meet the demanding requirements of aerospace and defense applications. Leveraging advanced Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG), Ring Laser Gyro (RLG), and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies, EMCORE delivers systems that offer superior accuracy, reliability, and reduced SWaP. These solutions are engineered to provide assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) for a wide range of platforms, including unmanned systems, tactical vehicles, and advanced weapon platforms, ensuring operational effectiveness even in GPS-denied environments.
Target Audience
