New frontiers have opened up for line-of-sight communication, targeting, autonomous navigation, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and more, with the astonishing advances in inertial technology. Quartz micro-electromechanical (MEMS) inertial sensors use a one-piece, micromachined inertial sensing element to measure angular rotational velocity. Fundamentally, these sensors produce signal output proportional to the rate of rotation sensed.
A free webinar on July 21 explores the advantages of this technology, and those of closed-loop fiber optic gyros (FOGs): “Resetting the Bar on Inertial Sensor SWaP for Tactical and Navigation Applications.”
Quartz MEMS have crashed past previous SWaP-c barriers in line-of-sight communication and targeting and autonomous navigation, where the key parameters are angle random walk (ARW) for gyros and velocity random walk (VRW) for accelerometers. They serve as the heart of a new generation of system solutions and offer the tool

iXblue has been contracted to equip the Polish Navy’s Kormoran II class mine countermeasure vessels (MCMV) with its inertial navigation systems (INS).
iXblue partner THESTA will take care of integrating and delivering the INS to naval navigation contractor PGZ Group’s member PGZ Stocznia Wojenna.
The new class of modern MCMVs will enhance maritime safety and security in Polish waters.

iXblue press release
Developed by Navantia for the Spanish Navy, the multi-mission frigates and their anti-submarine warfare capabilities will be used for missions such as fleet protection and maritime security and will be deployed to counter conventional and asymmetric threats. The first frigate is expected to be deployed in 2026 while the remaining four will be delivered up until 2031.
iXblue Marins Inertial Navigation Systems, based on the Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, combined with the Netans data distribution & processing units, will provide the F110 frigates with reliable, robust, and highly accurate navigation information, regardless of the environment, including within GNSS denied areas.
