UmiX Series
The most compact high performance IMU in the world
UmiX Series is a cutting-edge Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) engineered for the most demanding applications. Featuring state-of-the-art north-seeking Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, it delivers unparalleled stability in GNSS-denied environments, making it the perfect solution for high-end stabilization systems.
A new-built technology
This innovative device integrates three precision-engineered Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes and three iXal-S Vibrating Beam Accelerometers, all designed in-house for optimal performance. With its solid-state architecture and plug-and-play capabilities, the UmiX Series simplifies integration by eliminating the need for calibration and streamlining attitude computation.
Miniaturized Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) inside
After 40+ years of advancing FOG technology, Exail’s UmiX Series redefines the standard: half the size, half the power, double the performance, with cutting-edge FOG40 gyros.
Miniaturized accelerometers
The UmiX Series integrates iXal-S accelerometers with VBA technology, using dual VIA transducers for precise, drift-resistant acceleration measurement. This design ensures wide dynamic range and navigation-grade performance.
Easy to integrate
Thanks to its compact design and high performance, the UmiX Series integrates effortlessly into a wide range of platforms, making it suitable for various applications across multiple industries.
ITAR-free
All critical components of the UmiX Series, including fiber-optic coils, are designed and manufactured internally by Exail. This commitment ensures that the military-grade technology adheres exclusively to French export control regulations, exempting it from external compliance requirements.
Tactical & short-term navigation-grade IMUs
With an in-run bias of 0.03°/h and a bias residual of 0.2°/h, UmiX Series fit in both tactical and short-term navigation classes of IMUs. In addition, its vibrating quartz accelerometers have a dynamic range of ~100 g max, with navigation grade bias and scale factor, mostly unrivaled on such class of IMUs. This extends furthermore the potential uses for UmiX Series.
The ideal system for gyrostabilization
The UmiX Series features two distinct versions designed for civilian and military use, both providing high-performance Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs). This simplified dual-product range offers versatility across a wide range of applications, particularly excelling in advanced stabilization and precision targeting, making it ideal for sensor payloads in both airborne and ground environments.
