Tronics Microsystems develops high-performance MEMS inertial sensors that deliver precise guidance, navigation, and stabilization for marine and subsea operations.
The company’s digital accelerometers and gyroscopes provide high bias stability, low latency, and strong repeatability, ensuring dependable performance in dynamic ocean environments.
These characteristics make these sensors well suited for integration into Motion Reference Unit (MRU), Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), and Inertial Navigation System (INS) configurations for marine and subsea navigation.
Precision Sensing for Marine Navigation
From small fishing boats and sailing vessels to large ocean liners and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), accurate inertial sensing is vital for guidance and navigation.
Tronics’ accelerometers and gyroscopes enhance vessel control, dynamic positioning, and motion monitoring, maintaining stability and precision in turbulent conditions.
Hydrographic and bathymetric systems also benefit from these sensors, which improve the accuracy of underwater mapping and survey data. When it comes to dealing with a turbulent sea, large vessels are equipped with multiple MRUs for active heave compensation and dynamic positioning.
For marine and subsea navigation applications, Tronics offers the AXO®315 accelerometer and GYPRO®4300 gyroscope, both providing the high performance and stability required for precise guidance and positioning. For the development of Motion Reference Units (MRU) or Vertical Reference Units (VRU), the AXO®305 and GYPRO®5050 deliver the accuracy and reliability needed for consistent motion measurement and control.
