Guiding Intelligent Systems with Superior Applications
KVH FOG-based inertial systems with KVH’s exclusive PIC technology provide superior reliability, flexibility and easy integration that enable customers’ systems to operate at new levels of performance and productivity.
Navigation & Control
KVH FOGs, new P-series IMUs, and our INS systems are ideal for aerial, ground, and marine navigation and control applications.
Positioning & Georeferencing
The high data processing ability and accuracy of KVH FOGs, new P-series IMUs, and our INS systems make them ideal for precision pointing systems that need stabilized platforms.
Pointing & Stabilization
KVH FOGs and IMUs with PIC technology improve pointing and stabilization performance by removing error-generating movement in line-of-sight devices and data-gathering systems.
Discover the Breadth of Applications Supported by KVH
The scientists of the BLAST project developed a sub-orbital observatory to observe star formation and evolution, and they used KVH’s precision fiber optic gyro (FOG) to keep their system pointed in the right direction.
Local Motors’ Ollie, the autonomous shuttle, keeps its heading with the KVH DSP-1750 fiber optic gyro. It provides accurate heading in the AutoDrive™ automony kit from Robotic Research.
Ultra high-definition cameras utilize KVH high-accuracy IMUs and FOGs to help their stabilization systems to produce rock-steady images.
Pipeline inspection gauges used for cleaning and inspecting the pipelines rely on KVH precision IMUs to provide inertial navigation without GNSS input.
Industrial robots are ideal for materials handling and inventory management. To know where they are in the world, many industrial robots’ owners turn to KVH precision fiber optic gyros or inertial systems.
Accurate mapping requires precise georeferencing – manufactures turn to KVH’s robust fiber optic gyros and inertial systems because they know their mapping will be accurate with KVH sensors aboard.
KVH sensors can monitor pitch, roll, and yaw, as well as changes in velocity, providing vehicle navigation support to commercial and military vehicles in both urban and rural environments.
KVH’s IMUs provide reliable precision pointing for aerostats (moored balloons) used for surveillance and intelligence gathering.
Systems operating underwater or underground rely on precision inertial navigation and positioning provided by KVH IMUs.
Navigation in GNSS-denied environments is challenging for lower-value platforms and systems. KVH’s compact and affordable INS offer precise navigation even when GNSS is unavailable.
Inertial navigation relies on initial position, velocity, and attitude to determine position. It’s used for applications such as autonomous aerial refueling, autonomous landing systems, and collision avoidance.
KVH high-performance IMUs provide highly accurate inertial navigation data and stabilization for autonomous humanoid systems.
Photonic Chip Technology-based Inertial Systems
Disruptive Technology for Safe, Precise Autonomous Navigation
KVH’s new photonic integrated chip (PIC) technology reimagines FOG technology by replacing individual fiber components with an innovative integrated planar optic chip. This results in a FOG that’s even more reliable and delivers superior repeatability unit-to-unit, essential for the safe, accurate performance of autonomous platforms.
