MostaTech is set to demonstrate its latest rugged inertial sensing solutions, including miniature fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) and FOG-based inertial measurement units (FOG IMUs), at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris from June 15-19.
The company will highlight a range of highly durable single-axis fiber optic gyroscopes designed to maintain accuracy under extreme mechanical stress. Among the featured products are the VG2103S and VG1703, which are compact, robust solutions capable of withstanding shocks up to 3000g. The VG1703 can endure vibrations up to 30g RMS, while the VG2103S-3000 variant features 18g vibration endurance. Both models offer extended-temperature variants supporting operation from -60°C to +125°C. In terms of performance, the VG2103S delivers low noise with an angular random walk (ARW) of 0.03°/√h and measures 60×60×17 mm. The ultra-compact VG1703 achieves higher precision with an ARW as low as 0.008°/√h, weighing 35 grams with dimensions of ∅40×19 mm. For applications exposed to strong magnetic interference, the VG1703 can be equipped with an optional magnetic shield to ensure stable and reliable operation.
These sensors build upon more than 35 years of field-proven fiber optic technology, extending the legacy of the VG910 series which will also be on display. The VG910H1 model offers a ruggedized option featuring 1200g shock resistance, 30g vibration endurance, and an ARW of 0.015°/√h. Additionally, MostaTech will present its low size, weight, and power (SWaP) three-axis fiber optic gyroscopes for precise multi-axis motion sensing. This includes the VG221, noted as the world’s smallest fiber optic gyro with dimensions of Ø33×12 mm, a weight of 25 grams, and an ultra-low power consumption of 0.3 W.
Developed as SWaP-optimized, cost-effective, and non-ITAR solutions, these inertial sensors are designed for straightforward integration into a wide range of platforms. Typical deployments include inertial navigation systems (INS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). They are also tailored for gimbal and platform stabilization systems requiring reliable performance in dynamic and high-shock conditions.
Attendees can visit the manufacturer at Stand DE111, Hall 5B during the exhibition to explore these technologies.
