Value Added Engineering

Value Added Support

  • U.S. Dynamics Corporation can also design and fabricate all the associated electronics necessary to achieve optimum performance

    • Servos and Demodulators

    • Motor, Pickoff and torquer driver cards

    • Packaging of multiple gyroscopes with electronics

Interchangeability

  • USD’s gyroscopes can be easily interchanged with the Honeywell GG1111, GG250 and GG445 family of gyroscopes. We also provide drop-in replacements for the Atlantic Inertial Systems / Condor Pacific / Northrop / Timex GI-G5, GR-G5 and GI-G6 gyroscopes, all benefiting from over 40 years of continuous improvement.

  • USD has developed a drop-in replacement for the Humphrey / Rosemount / Goodrich FG series of stored energy gyroscopes. Since 2011, over 4,500 gyros have been produced for a Laser Guided Bomb guidance application.

Long Life Gyroscopes

  • USD has developed a long life version of it’s spinning mass rate and rate-integrating gyroscopes. Under development and test for over ten years, USD has succeeded in extending the life of it’s gyroscopes from a typical 4,000 hours to a minimum of 12,000 hours. The long life components can be added to any of our rate and rate-integrating gyroscopes which include all of the form, fit, function, drop-in replacements for the Honeywell GG1111 and the Atlantic Inertial Systems GIG6, GIG5/GRG5 gyroscopes.
