Fiber Optic Gyroscope Industry Overview
The fiber optic gyroscope market features a moderate level of competition, with several key players at the forefront. A select few of these players currently hold a dominant position in terms of market share. The swift ascent of unmanned vehicles, coupled with ongoing technological advancements, presents enticing opportunities for market vendors. While the competitive rivalry among established players remains moderate, companies are leveraging innovation strategies to drive market demand. However, challenges such as intricate and time-intensive manufacturing processes, substantial investments, and a low cost-benefit ratio have deterred new entrants from producing fiber optic gyroscopes. Some key market players include Emcore, Honeywell, and Safran.
•June 2024: Exail clinched a significant deal with Rheinmetall, agreeing to deliver 1004 units of its Advans Ursa inertial navigation systems (INS) for the German Army's Caracal 4×4 vehicles. Leveraging Exail’s advanced Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, the Advans Ursa stands out as a compact and budget-friendly INS specifically designed for tactical navigation. This system ensures accurate and dependable navigation data, even in challenging conditions. As a result, Caracal vehicles can confidently navigate without any constraints, regardless of time or distance, even in scenarios where GNSS signals are entirely absent.
•June 2024: Inertial Labs has unveiled its newest offering, the INS-FI. This GPS-assisted Inertial Navigation System (INS) leverages Tactical-grade Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology, positioning it as one of the market's most sophisticated and dependable INS solutions. It boasts a multi-band GNSS receiver compatible with all constellations, including GPS, GALILEO, GLONASS, QZSS, NAVIC, and BEIDOU.
