Engineered for military-grade precision and reliability, Curtiss-Wright’s single and dual-axis fiber-optic gyroscopes (FOGs) represent the pinnacle of inertial measurement technology for military and demanding industrial applications. Designed to withstand the harshest conditions, the ultra-rugged gyroscopes offer exceptional durability and unmatched resilience, even under extreme vibration, shock, and dynamic environmental stresses.

Featuring ultra-low signal latency of less than 1 ms, our FOGs provide instantaneous, accurate rate sensing essential for precise turret control. The high-speed data link (RS-485 or RS-422) ensures rapid communication and seamless integration with subordinate control electronics, enabling real-time compensation for external disturbances.

By continuously delivering inertial rate information, these gyroscopes for example keep the line of fire stable and precisely aligned, significantly enhancing accuracy and responsiveness during critical operations.
