ANELLO X3

NEVER LOSE YOUR DRONE AGAIN IN GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS

INTRODUCTION

The ANELLO X3 is world's smallest and lightest 3-Axis high performance optical gyroscope IMU.
The ANELLO X3 leverages three state-of-the-art ANELLO SiPhOGTM (Silicon Photonics Optical Gyroscope) units as low-noise and low-drift optical smart sensors each containing its own independent 6-Axis redundant IMU sensor.
The ANELLO X3 IMU offers seamless integration with both PX4 and ArduPilot - enabling precise, low-drift inertial navigation for autonomous aerial systems. This compatibility allows developers to easily leverage ANELLO’s cutting-edge optical gyroscope technology within widely adopted open-source flight stacks, enhancing position accuracy and stability in GPS-denied environments.
The ANELLO X3’s high-performance and plug-and-play integration streamline development, making it an ideal choice for drones, UAVs, and VTOLs that require dependable navigation in challenging environments.
