telemetry and the ability to track 16 targets, the Pyxis system is ideal for a wide range of offshore applications, particularly unexploded ordnance (UXO) surveys.As a calibration-free system, the Pyxis INS + USBL is highly portable and ready to deploy from any vessel upon arrival at the work site. The MEMS-based INS does not fall under ITAR regulations, and the range-restricted option means the entire system can be shipped easily, without export control, to nearly any location worldwide. A key feature of the Pyxis system is that operators can deactivate the range restriction in the field under an export-cont

of the company’s latest generation, tactical grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) - the DMU41.“These are remarkable times in inertial sensing with a long held technological status quo now rapidly shifting," said Dr. Marshall. "A number of recent micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial product launches are truly challenging fiber-optic gyro (FOG) performance for the first time – with products that are much more compact and rugged - and less power consuming. One of these market disrupting products is our DMU41 9 degrees of freedom (DoF) IMU.”Before joining Silicon
Silicon Sensing Unveils New MEMS IMU
Silicon Sensing Systems will launch a new high performance all-MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU), AMU30, at Sensors Expo this month. AMU30 is the company’s first IMU to combine high performance motion sensing with full attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) capabilities. Based upon the DMU30, the AMU30 is designed to respond to growing demand for a tactical grade, non-ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) IMU that also outputs pitch, roll and heading data. The AMU30 is a micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) product offering a real alternative to heavier
