“…In addition, advantages of using inertial sensor arrays fusion has been recently introduced . While navigation algorithms as well as new sensing technologies have been a major interest for research, IMU architecture received little attention. Even though major breakthroughs in sensing, eg, MEMS‐based IMU, allowed the development of low‐cost INS, new applications that require inertial measurements that standard IMU cannot provide are emerging.…”

Angular acceleration sensors technologies are evolving and emerging in various applications. In this paper, we propose an angular accelerometer-based inertial navigation system. One application of such systems can be highly maneuvering platforms where direct measurement of angular acceleration is desired. To that end, a review of modern angular acceleration sensor technologies and their possible applications is provided. Two angular acceleration-

“…In the tactical applications market, the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope [ 1 , 2 , 3 ] and resonant micro optical gyroscope (RMOG) [ 4 , 5 , 6 ] have attracted much attention due to compactness, light weight, and low-cost. In the high-performance market, the ring laser gyroscope (RLG) and the interferometric fiber optic gyroscope (IFOG)—which have advantages of broad dynamic range of velocity measurements, insensitivity to accelerations and overloads, short warm-up time, etc.—are superior to the traditional mechanical gyroscope [ 7 ]. However, the RLG poses challenges in that they require specialized components, such as superb mirrors, helium-impermeable low expansion glass, and high-voltage discharge electrodes [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Improving the performance of interferometric fiber optic gyroscope (IFOG) in harsh environments, such as magnetic field and temperature field variation, is necessary for its practical applications. This paper presents an investigation of Faraday effect-induced bias error of IFOG under varying temperature. Jones matrix method is utilized to formulize the temperature dependence of Faraday effect-induced bias error. Theoretical results show that the Faraday effect-induced bias error changes with the temperature in the non-skeleton polarization maintaining (PM) fiber coil. This phenomenon is caused by the temperature dependence of linear birefringence and Verdet constant of PM fiber. Particularly, Faraday effect-induced bias errors of two polarizations always have opposite signs that can be compensated optically regardless of the changes of the temperature. Two experiments with a 1000 m non-skeleton PM fiber coil are performed, and the experimental results support these theoretical predictions. This study is promising for improving the bias stability of IFOG.

Inertial sensors have now become quite ubiquitous as many devices and systems rely on them to serve a broad variety of applications. Where inertial sensors were once characterized as expensive precision instruments today lower performance inertial sensors are manufactured by the billions of units per year at a cost of a few cents per sensor while higher performance gyros and accelerometers have achieved unprecedented performance and reliability at much reduced prices. This proliferation of inertial sensing has been driven by, and has enabled, advances in sensor technology as well as an interesting diversity of applications.In this paper some observations of the historical trends in inertial sensing and devices will be provided. The significant applications that have stimulated and supported inertial sensor development and manufacturing will also be presented. Extrapolation of these trends into the future will be attempted as a group of promising future inertial sensor technologies and potentially new applications is discussed.
