The low-cost, high-performance alternative for superior stabilization

The DSP-4000 series offers both single- and dual-axis FOGs specifically designed to provide the military with a high-performance, low-cost successor to troublesome mechanical gyros. The all-fiber design – with no moving parts to wear out or fail – ensures high reliability, superior performance, and exceptional vibration, shock, and acceleration survivability. The DSP-4000 series also features low noise, high bandwidth, improved bias stability, and excellent resolution, making it an economical gyro alternative while delivering superior stabilization and tracking capabilities for turret, antenna, and optical stabilization systems.

Designed and tested to rigorous military standards, the rugged DSP-4000 series meets or exceeds required military specifications and offers the military the next generation of gun and turret stabilization as well as dynamic pointing capabilities. Building on the success of KVH’s proven DSP-3000 series FOGs, the DSP-4000 series delivers superior bias and scale factor performance. The gyro is exactingly manufactured to measure angular rates with extreme precision and provide either a digital or analog output. Unlike mechanical gyros, the DSP-4000 series is insensitive to cross-axis motion and inertia. Its high bandwidth makes it particularly suitable for armored vehicle gun stabilization.

With no moving parts to maintain or replace, the DSP-4000 series lasts longer than its mechanical predecessors, performs better, and yields significant savings over the life of the product. The DSP-4000 is covered by one or more of the following patents.


Highlights:

Ideal for demanding applications, including platform positioning and stabilized pointing, gun and turret stabilization, and antenna/optical/camera stabilization.
Patented DSP fiber optic technology offers long life, stable operation, and insensitivity to vibration from rotation or acceleration in other axes.
Versatile 1- and 2-axis packages support 1-, 2-, and 3-axis applications.
Compact Mil-Spec assembly features military connectors and weather-resistant gasketing to withstand demanding military environments, including gunfire shock.

Easily integrates into existing mechanical gyro applications and offers significantly longer life and lower life cycle cost with MTBF >55,000 hours.
