TAC-450 Fiber Optic Gyro
The TAC-450 series of fiber optic gyros offers nine different configurations to solve even the most challenging UAV and unmanned systems design issues, with options for one, two or three axes and standard, low-profile and unhoused OEM form factors.
Employing EMCORE’s cutting-edge photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology and delivering exceptional bias stability, scale factor, and angle random walk performance, the high-accuracy TAC-450 FOGs are ideal for stabilization and pointing applications, as well as integration into navigation, guidance, and control systems.
