MTR100: Silicon Sensing Systems
; The patented construction of its silicon MEMS gyros – based on a vibrating ring – makes the Silicon Sensing Systems gyros highly resistant to shock and vibration, increasing the reliability and quality of its inertial portfolio. An in-house MEMS foundry has manufactured all of the core gyro technology since the birth of the joint venture. Among its unique fabrication equipment is a deep reactive-ion etching capability, developed in-house in Japan. Most recently, Silicon Sensing Systems has leveraged the inherent capability of its MEMS devices to create a new range of high performance gyros

is also currently engaged in development of a MEMS High Performance IMU (HPIMU); DMU30, which is slated for customer evaluation units in spring 2015 and production in the summer of 2015. This unit will integrate the new high performance VSG3QMAX (high ‘Q’) inductive resonating ring gyro technology together with the capacitive MEMS accelerometers. The entire assembly will be sealed in a metalized housing and ISA block. The DMU30 is being designed with flexibility and customization in mind to accommodate the end-user’s interface and performance requirements.  
Seatronics Orders New Saturn System from Teledyne TSS
primary surface and subsea navigation. It is a compact and highly reliable unit which makes it ideal for all sizes of vessel and especially for smaller craft such as fast ferries, yachts and small patrol craft where space is at a premium. Saturn has been based upon state-of-the-art fiber-optic gyro technology that has been developed and manufactured by Teledyne TSS at its modern headquarters in Watford, UK. The Saturn product family also incorporates advanced digital signal processing and algorithm design to deliver a highly accurate and reliable product to meet the demanding needs of the marine
iXBlue to Supply Gyrocompass Systems to RFA Tankers
operations that represent one activity of the multi-function vessels. iXBlue has worked closely with Kelvin Hughes and Marine Data to design a type approved system meeting the precise requirements of the end user. The FOG technology within all iXBlue gyros represents the only solid state gyro technology available today. As with other iXBlue gyros the QUADRANS gyrocompass requires zero maintenance bringing distinct advantages in reduced cost and operational impact of support in both naval and critical commercial applications. The compass is type approved for high-speed craft and is available
Meridian Gyros Achieves China Type Approval
a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of more than 30,000 hours. Gyrocompasses from Teledyne TSS include mechanical and solid state options - the company also manufactures pipe and cable trackers, a range of motion sensors and the Orion inertial navigation system which combines ring laser gyro technology with advanced motion sensing. teledyne-tss.com
