Inertial Labs, a VIAVI Solutions Inc. Company, introduced the IMU-H100 on May 5, 2025, a micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial measurement unit (IMU). This IMU is developed to enhance tactical guidance and navigation capabilities for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), short-range missiles, and precision guidance munitions, alongside various commercial applications. The launch addresses the strong demand for IMUs that power navigation and control systems as unmanned vehicle technology improves.
An IMU measures angular velocity and linear acceleration using MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers, essential for guidance, navigation, orientation, and stabilization applications, particularly for short- and medium-range flight control systems. The IMU-H100 includes accelerometers and gyroscopes for all three axes, offering a gyro and accel bias of 1 deg/hr and 1 mg respectively. It exceeds the performance of equivalent products in terms of data rate, measurement range, stability, and repeatability over harsh environmental conditions.
Jamie Marraccini, Vice President, Inertial Labs Products, VIAVI, stated that the IMU-H100 is the latest addition to their family of tactical-grade IMUs, coupling exceptional gyro and accelerometer repeatability bias with industry-leading performance and ruggedness. Designed for ease and speed of integration, it supports UART and SDLC for legacy systems, is ITAR-free, and manufactured in the United States, making it ideal for retrofitting initiatives and global applications.
