Engineered for the Tightest Spaces

EMCORE takes fiber optic gyro (FOG) technology to a new level of performance with the TAC-450 series based DSP-1750, the world’s smallest high-accuracy FOG. Available in both single and dual-axis configurations, the TAC-DSP-1750 is designed for a wide range of precision navigation, stabilization, and pointing applications where low noise and high performance across the entire range of operating temperatures are critical. Ideal applications include long-range optical and sensor systems, gimbals, tactical missiles, autonomous vehicle navigation, and the stabilization of virtually all types of commercial equipment platforms.

Trusted for the Toughest Missions

The TAC-DSP-1750 delivers performance never before achieved in FOGs of similar size. Available in single or dual-axis gyro configurations, the TAC-DSP-1750 is a high bandwidth, extremely low noise sensor. the TAC-DSP-1750 integrates magnetic shielding within the gyro housing, providing improved performance in systems with problematic magnetic environments. It delivers extremely low noise coupled with high bandwidth.
