Gyroscopes Since 1962, USD has designed and built form, fit and function equivalents to the Honeywell, AIS, BAE, Condor Pacific, Northrop, Timex and Humphrey families of rate and rate integrating gyroscopes. We have manufactured over 100 different models for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Thales, L-3 Communications and many others with excellent field history. They are currently used in programs that cover the performance and environmental requirements typically encountered by aircraft, missiles, vehicles, ships and tanks. Applications include attitude control, aided navigation, heading and attitude reference, antenna and seeker stabilization, mid-course guidance, and turret and sight stabilization. They are currently used in a great number of major U.S. military and foreign programs such as F15, F16, F18, A6, V22 Osprey, Tow Cobra, Phalanx, Paveway and Standard Missile.

USD’s families of gyroscopes can be easily interchanged with many other manufacturers’ gyros. Whether it’s a drop-in replacement or an application that requires slight mounting changes, USD will work with the customer to achieve a painless solution in keeping your legacy system alive. This eliminates the unnecessary system design activity and re-qualification for the end user and avoids many costs associated with re-designing the system for a different type of gyro. With this in mind, we can guarantee the life of your legacy system for many years to come. USD’s gyroscopes can be configured to accept many different input excitations and designed to whatever output parameters are necessary to perform flawlessly in your system. Utilizing our expert engineering staff, we can design and build many different mounting brackets with the gyro aligned in the bracket to 1 milliradian or better. This enables the customer to bolt down the gyro and just plug it in for a quick, easy, low cost integration of a superior performing gyro.
Types Of Gyroscopes
Rate Integrating Gyroscopes The center of our rate integrating gyro manufacturing program is the USD 446 Series of gyroscopes. All of the gyros in this family have been qualified as a form, fit and function replacement by either the U. S. Government or the original specification holder. The 446 Series replaces the GG1111, GG1163, GG250 and the GI-G6 gyros.
Rate Gyroscopes USD’s 475 Series of rate gyroscopes are a low cost, high performance series of gyros that performs reliably and accurately in severe environments. USD has designed this series of gyroscopes from the ground up inserting all of the latest technology. These gyros have also been qualified as a form, fit and function replacements by either the U. S. Government or the original specification holder. The 475 Series replaces the GG440, GG445, GI-G5 and the GR-G5 gyros.
Stored-Energy Gyroscopes USD’s FG Series of stored-energy 2-axis free gyroscopes are a low cost, spring wound solution for ground and air launched missile and bomb applications. Once energized, useful output data is obtained within 100 milliseconds of activation.
Rate Sensor Packages USD can provide complete rate sensor packages using combinations of the 446 and 475 gyros along with accelerometers, demodulators, closed loop torquer servos, amplifiers, high precision power and frequency generators.

Types Of Gyroscopes
MEMS Based Gyroscopes USD offers a number of MEMS based solutions that can easily be integrated into new or retrofit applications. The MEMS based system offers long life, lower power, and the robustness of a solid-state system. Since each application is somewhat unique, USD engineers each MEMS replacement to meet the specifications of the target application.
MRG-Legacy Series (MEMS Angular Rate Sensor) The USD MRG-Legacy Series gyros are direct form, fit and function rate gyro replacements for legacy systems currently using spinning mass rate or rate integrating gyroscope technology. The MRG Series targets applications where obsolescence and/or the maintenance of the legacy spinning mass rate gyro becomes problematic. Example applications for our solutions include the CN 1552 and SAS rate gyros applicable to the Blackhawk Helicopter. In addition to these applications, various inputs and outputs such as DC in-DC out, DC in-AC out or AC in-AC out are obtainable along with customizable mounting and connecting. Consult U.S. Dynamics Corporation for specific needs. Basic specifications include: Rate Sensing Capability to ±300°/sec Bias Stability < 15°/hr Angular Random Walk
