The MK2 family runs from tactical-grade MEMS to a navigation-grade photonic prototype, in a fraction of the size, weight and power of legacy inertial hardware. Every unit is ITAR-free, made in Canada and individually calibrated. Built to withstand harsh environments, with drivers available to simplify integration.

Choose the MK2M2 when size, weight and unit cost drive the design and GNSS is available most of the time. 40 x 40 x 25 mm, 75 g, 1.2 W typ., RS-422 or CAN-FD at up to 500 Hz. In-run bias stability is under 1.0 °/hr typical, 0.5 °/hr minimum, with 0.06 °/√hr angle random walk. In a 21 minute Montreal road test with GNSS position denied, the MK2M2 finished 20.5 m from truth. Drone autopilots, ground robots, rail and mobile mapping payloads.
Choose the MK2E2 when you lose GNSS for minutes at a time and heading is what breaks first. The optical gyroscope is built on a photonic integrated circuit and cuts angle random walk to 0.03 °/√hr against 0.06 on the MK2M2. Same RS-422 or CAN-FD interface, at 78 x 63 x 36 mm, 230 g and 2 W typ. On the same 21 minute GNSS-denied drive it finished 5.7 m from truth against 20.5 m.
The MK2Z is a navigation-grade prototype, not a production part. It puts a navigation-grade optical gyroscope on the Z axis at < 0.01 °/hr in-run bias stability and 0.02 °/√hr angle random walk, for long GNSS-denied runs. 83 x 86.5 x 65 mm, 475 g, 4.5 W typical and 7.5 W maximum. Talk to us about early-access evaluation and what the prototype does and does not yet cover.
