Inertial Sensing for Unmanned Air Vehicles

Precise Control, Stabilization, and Pointing with Best-in-Class Miniature Sensors

The Challenge
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) often operate in demanding environments that require precise and reliable sensory feedback, yet UAVs are also especially sensitive to incremental changes in weight and volume. As a result operators may compromise overall platform performance or forgo valuable sensing capabilities altogether.

The Solution
LORD Sensing-MicroStrain® inertial sensors provide high performance in a very small and lightweight package. MEMS technologies combined with GNSS/GPS and sophisticated estimation filtering offer accurate and reliable data quantities to provide precise control, stabilization, and pointing at the best value.
