A new era in fiber optic sensors has arrived Introducing KVH IMUs with PIC Inside ™ With improved reliability and environmental survivability over competing technologies, KVH’s new family of IMUs all feature exclusive photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology. This breakthrough technology reimagines fiber optic gyros by replacing individual fiber components with an integrated planar optic chip. Already offering outstanding shock and vibration resistance, KVH has also upgraded its IMUs with high-performance accelerometers that further enhance system performance. The result is a series of robust inertial sensors designed to deliver the performance and reliability that autonomous platforms demand: ©2022 KVH Industries, Inc.
