Inertial Sense is a manufacturer of Tactical Grade Inertial Systems. Our sensor is the smallest, most cost-effective Tactical Grade solution on the market with specifications comparable to that of many of our main competitors, but we are 2-3 times lower in cost. Our Inertial Sensors are designed to aid our customers in scaling their products. Unlike other manufacturers of similar products, we know how much low price points matter. That being said, we are the only Tactical Grade Inertial System Manufacturer with the ability to achieve price points below $100 USD per piece.  

The core of all Inertial Sense Solutions, IMU, AHRS, and INS, is the IMX-5. This unit is a triple redundant IMU solution that contains a custom calibration consisting of bias, scale factor, cross-axis alignment, and temperature compensation. Its outputs include angular rate, linear acceleration, magnetic vector barometric pressure, and also includes the AHRS sensor fusion for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw.

An incredibly important detail surrounding the IMX-5 is its Tactical Grade. An IMU is industry-qualified as “Tactical Grade” when the In Run Bias Stability of the gyroscopes is between 0.5 deg/hour and 5 deg/hour. The In Run Bias Stability is a representation of how stable the IMU is.  A gyro with lower bias stability will lead to lower errors in position estimates for an IMU.

Inertial Sense is not the only supplier of Tactical Grade Inertial Systems in the industry, but what truly makes our IMX-5 unique are its price points. Generally speaking, the cost of Tactical Grade Inertial Systems can range from $1000 to $5000. The IMX-5, on the other hand, was designed to aid our clients in scaling their products.   

Prior to the release of this new product offering, it was not uncommon for engineering teams to pay $1000 per unit in high volumes, and the issue with this is; how can you mass produce a cost-effective product that contains such expensive chip sets? Here at Inertial Sense, we understand this, which is why we offer the IMX-5 at a starting price point of $275 with the flexibility to achieve price points well below $100 in volume.

Inertial Sense is a manufacturer of Tactical Grade Inertial Systems. Our sensor is the smallest, most cost-effective Tactical Grade solution on the market, with specifications comparable to that of many of our main competitors.

 

0:20 Lower Costs

The difference is that we are 2-3 times lower in cost. Our Inertial Sensors are designed to aid our customers in scaling their products. Unlike other manufacturers of similar products, we know how much low price points matter. 

 

0:36 Grand Savings

That being said, we are the only Tactical Grade Inertial System Manufacturer with the ability to achieve price points below $100 USD per piece.

The core of all Inertial Sense Solutions, IMU, AHRS, and INS, is the IMX-5. This unit is a triple redundant IMU solution that contains a custom calibration consisting of bias, scale factor, cross-axis alignment, and temperature compensation. Its output includes angular rate, linear acceleration, magnetic vector, barometric pressure, and also includes the AHRS sensor fusion for Roll, Pitch, and Yaw.

An incredibly important detail surrounding the IMX-5 is its Tactical Grade. An IMU is industry-qualified as “Tactical Grade” when the In Run Bias Stability of the gyroscope is between 0.5 deg/hour and 5 deg/hour. The In Run Bias Stability is a representation of how stable the IMU is.  A gyro with lower bias stability will lead to lower errors in position estimates for an IMU.

Prior to the release of this new product offering, it was not uncommon for engineering teams to pay $1000 or more per unit in high volumes, and the issue with this is, how can you mass produce a cost-effective product that contains such an expensive chipset? 

Here at Inertial Sense, we understand this, which is why we offer the IMX-5 at a starting price point of $275 with the flexibility to achieve price points well below $100 in high volume. Just imagine what you could create with a seventy-five percent or higher cost savings on technology like our Tactical Grade IMX-5.
