The performance specifications of the modules are suitable for platform stabilisation in camera systems used for optical targeting in aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and gun systems.

The FOG technology offers increased performance with lower size, weight and power (SWaP) while ensuring lower cost than competing units and existing designs.

The modules are designed for fast and precise navigation and gyrocompassing, as well as low noise line-of-sight stabilisation.
