VectorNav Introduces High-G Capability Across Tactical IMU and GNSS/INS Series

New 90G and 250G accelerometers and 4000°/sec gyroscope ranges deliver navigation solution integrity in high-dynamic environments, supporting interceptors, missiles, and hypersonic platforms.

 

Dallas, TX - March 24, 2026 – VectorNav Technologies today announced 90G and 250G accelerometer and 4000°/sec gyroscope ranges across its Tactical Series inertial measurement unit (IMU) and inertial navigation system (INS) product line. The enhancement directly addresses urgent requirements from defense contractors and platform developers operating in high-G mission profiles.

Defense modernization priorities are accelerating procurements of interceptors, missiles, and hypersonic platforms that must operate through launch, interception, and aggressive maneuvering—often in environments where GPS is denied or degraded. In these conditions, navigation performance depends on the IMU’s ability to maintain solution integrity without saturating. The extended-range Tactical Series is designed to meet that requirement, providing the core inertial measurements that enable resilient position, navigation, and timing (PNT) solutions to operate through mission-critical flight phases where conventional sensors fail.

"The demand signal from our customers has been unmistakable," said Jakub Maslikowski, VP of Business Development. "As platforms become faster, more maneuverable, and face increasingly sophisticated threats, high-performance inertial navigation solutions are needed at scale to meet the evolving demand. With nearly 20 years supporting these mission profiles, we know these applications—and the extended-range gyro and accelerometer will enable faster integration and more rapid fielding of reliable systems."

The extended-range accelerometer and gyroscope are available across the full VN-110 IMU and VN-210 / VN-310 INS product family, supporting applications including:

  • High-speed interceptor platforms
  • Rapid-response strike systems 
  • Hypersonic and advanced maneuvering vehicles
  • Counter-UAS and air defense systems
  • Next-generation precision guidance

The extended-range configurations are drop-in compatible with existing platforms—no changes to form, fit, or function—enabling immediate upgrades without redesign.

VectorNav systems are designed, manufactured, and tested at the company’s AS9100-certified Dallas facility, where the company currently produces tens of thousands of units annually. As demand for resilient PNT continues to accelerate globally, VectorNav is expanding production capacity in 2026 with a new 100,000 sq. ft. facility to support high-volume programs and R&D efforts.

Engineering units of the enhanced Tactical Series are available now for immediate test and evaluation. For technical specifications, integration support, or procurement information, contact sales@vectornav.com or visit vectornav.com.
