The Leader in Quartz MEMS Technology

INS/GPS

SDN500 INS / GPS Tactical Grade Navigation System

SDI's “Best Ever” GPS/INS Tactical Grade System. The compact SDN500 combines latest generation quartz gyros, quartz accelerometers, high speed signal processing and a 48-channel Coarse/Acquisition (C/A) Code GPS receiver into a powerful, tightly coupled Guidance and Navigation System. The versatile instrument grade system delivers a reliable 3.9 meter Spherical Error Probable (SEP) GPS-aided accuracy. SDI’s proprietary Quartz MEMS Inertial Sensors maintain precision accuracy in the event of loss of GPS tracking. The low power SDN500 is designed for integrator and OEM use in the latest demanding smaller, more scalable system applications. The SDN500 is an ideal solution for critical applications in such areas as geo-surveying, unmanned air and ground vehicles, precision targeting and positioning, and establishes an excellent system solution in demanding commercial applications.

C-MIGITS III INS / GPS System

In March 2012 SDI announced the shipment of the final C-MIGITS INS/GPS system built, marking the official production end for one of the premier INS/GPS systems in its class.

Since its introduction in 2001, approximately 1,500 C-MIGITS units have been deployed around the world in various military and aerospace applications. Providing a Quartz MEMS IMU tightly-coupled with a GPS receiver via a proprietary Kalman filter, the C-MIGITS has provided navigation, geo-location and optical/antenna stabilization for many highly-sophisticated systems.

In mid-2011, Systron Donner Inertial introduced the SDN500 INS/GPS system as the successor to the C-MIGITS to address components obsolescence issues. Utilizing the latest SDI500 Quartz MEMS IMU, a tactical-grade system proven across many platforms, the SDN500 combines dramatically-improved inertial performance with the familiar C-MIGITS communications and command interface. Additionally, the SDN500 is 50% smaller, weighs 33% less and draws 46% less power
