MicroFORS -36m/-1 High Performance Fiber Optic Rate Gyros
Northrop Grumman LITEF’s Fiber Optic Rate Sensor µFORS is designed to meet the requirements of a wide range of air, land and sea applications. Using the latest technology, it provides compensated angle or angular rate outputs via the asynchronous or the synchronous digital IBIS (Intelligent Bus for Inertial Sensors) interface. With small volume, low weight and small power consumption, the µFORS can be integrated into many applications, thereby reducing system complexity and cost. Free from effects of gravity induced errors, and with no moving parts, Northrop Grumman LITEF’s µFORS is insensitive to shock and vibration. It offers high reliability without the need for periodic maintenance.
All µFORS provide the advantages of the closed loop principle:
- High dynamic range
- High scale factor linearity
- Excellent performance under high vibration levels
Customer advantages of the µFORS are:
- Integrated electronics
- Standard digital interface
- Flexible, programmable digital interface (range, data rate, resolution etc.)
- Output of temperature compensated data
- Small size, low weight, low power consumption
- Low cost
