Silicon Sensing will make its debut as an exhibitor at Eurosatory 2026 in Paris from June 16-19, presenting its proven, robust, and reliable inertial technology.
The company’s range of Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) products spans from miniature, low-cost navigation and pointing gyros through to a tactical-grade, 9 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
David Somerville, General Manager of Silicon Sensing Systems, said, “Our proven MEMS-based products are well-suited to the demands of defense applications across land, sea, air and space, for both manned and unmanned platforms – especially in GNSS-denied environments. As platforms become smaller, lighter and more power-efficient, while remaining operational for longer, our products can deliver real value through their precision performance, compact size and low power consumption.”
Among the hardware on display is the standalone CRH03 tactical-grade gyro, which has recently been supplied to Psionic Inc for its SurePath™ navigation system to provide critical heading information and support navigation when GNSS signals are unavailable. The compact, ultra-stable product delivers low noise performance with excellent Angle Random Walk (ARW). It is non-ITAR and offers bias characteristics comparable to traditional Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes (FOG) and Dynamically Tuned Gyroscopes (DTG).
Similarly, the tactical-grade DMU41 IMU competes directly with larger, heavier, and more costly FOG-based systems. This rugged, non-ITAR, 9 DoF unit provides exceptional angular rate and linear acceleration data. It measures 50.5 x 50.5 x 51.0 mm, weighs less than 180 g, and consumes less than 1.8 W.
For high-volume motion sensing and control applications requiring sustained performance, the company offers the DMU11 IMU as a lower-cost 6 DoF alternative. Designed for straightforward integration into larger systems and provides robust, low-noise output under challenging operational conditions.
The smallest sensor in the portfolio is the Pinpoint® gyro. This low-cost, precision single-axis MEMS gyroscope delivers strong bias stability and low noise over temperature. Available in flat and orthogonal packages, multiple units can be combined to provide pitch, roll, and yaw measurements on a single board, opening up significant potential for a wide range of defense applications.
Somerville concluded, “Our IMUs, gyros, accelerometers and combi-sensors offer real benefit for the international defense sector, where precision, robustness, compact size and low power consumption are all essential. We look forward to starting new conversations and building on existing ones at Eurosatory this June.”
The company will be exhibiting in Hall 4 on stand E02 throughout the event.
