Intelligent Fibre-Optic Gyro (iFG)

Enhance heading stability with the powerful Tritech iFG (Intelligent Fibre-Optic Gyro) that seamlessly integrates with the Tritech Intelligent Gyro Compass (iGC) and other heading and motion reference units (MRUs).

Equipped with a single-axis FOG sensor housed in an extruded aluminum casing, the iFG outperforms magnetically referenced aircraft gyros, effectively reducing drift errors.

An onboard processor efficiently manages the FOG sensor interface, mode selection, power supplies, and water ingress sensing (applicable when the iFG is mounted inside its own pod). The iFG incorporates internal compensation for pitch and roll angles using data from the iGC attitude sensors.

Operating in conjunction with the iGC, the iFG receives magnetic heading, pitch, and roll data. Employing proprietary slaving algorithms, it delivers a stabilized heading output with a low drift rate. The output data is transmitted through the provided 3 serial ports.

For existing ROVs seeking to replace a mechanical gyro compass, additional (external) interface cards are available with specific communication protocol compatibility and analog (autopilot) functionality when an iGC/ iFG system is installed.

Choose the Tritech iFG to achieve exceptional heading stability, precise data output, and seamless integration with your existing equipment, enhancing the performance of your underwater operations.
