ANELLO X3 IMU
Ultra-Compact 3-Axis Optical Gyro IMU
for Aerial and Maritime Missions
INTRODUCTION
The ANELLO X3 IMU is world's smallest and lightest 3-Axis high performance optical gyroscope IMU.
The ANELLO X3 IMU 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 maritime platforms and also with 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 IMU’s high-performance and plug-and-play integration streamline development, making it an ideal choice for aerial and maritime platforms such as drones, UAVs, VTOLs, UUVs, and ROVs that require dependable navigation in challenging environments.
THE ANELLO X3 IMU INTEGRATES WITH PX4 AND ARDUPILOT FOR AERIAL APPLICATIONS AND ALSO DELIVERS ROBUST PERFORMANCE ON MARITIME PLATFORMS
