The Hardware

One self-contained unit

A single rugged housing with no external electronics box to integrate — Super-TAC drops into new designs or upgrades legacy platforms without added system complexity. Where traditional tactical-grade IMUs rely on MEMS alone, Super-TAC pairs fiber optic gyros with MEMS to deliver extremely low bias stability, very low angle random walk, and reliable GPS-denied performance.

Differentiation

Not another tactical IMU

Where traditional tactical-grade units rely on MEMS alone, Super-TAC combines fiber optic gyros with MEMS to close the gap to navigation-grade performance.
