Overview
The DSP-3000 Fiber Optic Gyro from KVH is the workhorse of the company’s FOG series. It is the manufacturer’s original commercial unit that is proven to offer excellent performance for a broad number of applications.
Its small size (about as big as a deck of playing cards) and rugged design along with several digital, analog and digital RS-232 outlets make the DSP-3000 one of the most versatile fiber-optic gyros on the market. Thus, it is a good solution for stabilization and guidance, inexpensive inertial measurements equipment, integrated GPS/INS as well as AHRS.
Constructed from the company’s own polarization-maintaining E-Core fiber, the unit offers outstanding precision and trustworthy performance at the lowest cost among comparable gyroscopes.
KVH builds the unit on the mature foundation of its all-fiber optical circuit, which provides vibration and shock resistance, insensitivity to cross-axis error and very low noise. It is also features excellent platform and optics/radar/antenna stabilization as well as AHRS, GPS/INS and IMU integration
