ASC 283 Tactical grade gyroscope (triaxial)

High-performance MEMS gyroscope for navigation, AHRS, and gyro-compassing with exceptional bias stability.


Key features

  • Tactical grade MEMS vibrating ring technology
  • Outstanding bias stability (<0.1 °/hr) and angular random walk (xtagstartz0.01 °/√hr)
  • Measurement ranges from ±10 °/s to ±400 °/s
  • Quasi-differential analog output with very low noise
  • IP65-rated aluminum housing
  • Available in uniaxial (ASC 281) and triaxial (ASC 283) versions

Performance highlights ASC 283 Gyroscope

The ASC 283 gyroscope feature MEMS vibrating ring elements with fiber-optic-like performance. This sensor provides excellent long-term bias stability, low angular random walk, and robust resistance to shock and vibration. Designed for precision navigation and motion tracking, they offer quasi-differential analog outputs with minimal noise and a wide input voltage range (8–30 VDC).

Usage conditions

With an IP65-rated anodized aluminum housing, both uniaxial (ASC 281) and triaxial (ASC 283) models can withstand tough environmental conditions. Operating between -40°C and +85°C, they are ideal for use in field or onboard systems. The detachable cables are configurable in length and connector type.

Possible applications

  • Gyro-compassing and ship guidance
  • Mid-term navigation bridging
  • AHRS and flight instrumentation
  • ROV and UAV orientation
  • Robotics and automated vehicle systems

Advantages of choosing this product

ASC tactical grade gyroscopes provide FOG-like performance in a compact MEMS package. With configurable signal outputs, calibration to ISO 17025 standards, and minimal power requirements, they are a powerful and cost-effective solution for demanding inertial measurement applications.

Other important features

  • Scale factor up to 200 mV/°/s (±10 °/s version)
  • Bandwidth: 50–100 Hz depending on range
  • Shock resistance: up to 1000 g
  • Weight: 80g (ASC 281), 250g (ASC 283)
  • Temperature sensor integrated per axis
