Tactical Grade MEMS Accelerometer MS1000

BEST IN CLASS FOR INERTIAL APPLICATIONS

Designed to address advanced, tactical grade inertial applications, the MS1000 is a new class of high performance sensors, based on Safran Colibrys’ 25-year MEMSMicroElectroMechanical System. See also sensor development and production expertise.

MS1000 implements an innovative microelectromechanical design and electronics which unleash unbeatable performances with regard to the long term bias and scale factor repeatability, in-run bias and vibration rectification error (VRE).

MS1000 is available in a rich set of g-ranges +/-2, 5, 10, 16, 30, 100g and is qualified for volume production.

ADVANTAGES

Reliable In Harsh Environments

The MS1000 is designed to withstand extreme forces of acceleration equivalent to many times the force of gravity. Some of these fast-movement applications include:

Aerospace & Defense – Inertial Measuring Units (IMUs) onboard fixed-wing and rotary wing aircrafts; autopilot systems, attitude systems (AHRSAttitude Heading Reference System. 3-axis sensors that provide heading, attitude and yaw information for aircraft. Replaces traditional mechanical gyroscopic flight instruments. See also);

Naval & Land – North finding; antenna; sonar orientation ROVRemotely Operated Vehicle. Underwater robot common in deepwater industries such as offshore hydrocarbon extraction. See also guidance; ship navigation and control; mobile mapping
Built-In Self-Test Function

The built-in self-test mode generates a square wave signal on the device outputs (OUTP & OUTN) and can be used for device failure detection. This can be helpful to prevent system faults before they occur.
Ensures Safety & Reliability

The high quality sensor design, the MEMS AccelerometerAccelerometer measures the acceleration it experiences. See also products support test engineers around the world quickly and flexibly, to ensure safety and reliability of vehicles, equipment and buildings.

USE CASES

UAV & ROV Autopilot

Any sensor fixed to either UAVUnmanned Aerial Vehicle. Remotely piloted aircraft commonly referred to as a drone. See also or ROV systems must be light and small and must have a low power consumption. In addition, high shocks resistance is a key element to keep the integrity of the IMUAn IMU or Inertial Measurement Unit is an electronic device that measures the heading and orientation and velocity of a vehicle. It contains both an accelerometer and a gyroscope to provide necessary data to maneuver an aircraft or spacecraft, especially when GPS signals are not available. in case of crash. In terms of accuracy, the IMUs integrated on professional drones, should deliver accuracies corresponding to…
