The highly compact Kernel series of strapdown three-axis IMUs features cutting-edge MEMS sensor technology, using three-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes to provide linear acceleration and angular rate outputs with low noise and high reliability.
The lightweight and low-footprint IMUs have been thoroughly tested to withstand large variations in temperature, high vibration, and shock. They are fully calibrated and temperature-compensated, mathematically aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system, and feature Continuous Built-in Test (BIT) capabilities and configurable communications protocols.
The Kernel range of IMUs provides a number of measurement range and performance options to suit both industrial and tactical-grade requirements. The miniature sensors are ideal for a wide variety of drone and robotics applications such as autonomous vehicles, antenna and line of sight stabilization systems, vessel motion monitoring, and AUV/ROV navigation and control.
