MEMS Inertial Sensing for Robotics and Industrial Control
Aeron builds compact, tactical-grade inertial navigation systems and MEMS IMU/gyro modules for unmanned ground vehicles, drones, robotics and industrial guidance and control applications.
From the fully-fused Pollux 3 INS-GNSS — delivering position, velocity, attitude and heading in a package small enough for size- and power-constrained platforms — to the Castor family of standalone MEMS IMU and gyro modules, Aeron’s Robotics & Industrial portfolio covers every tier of motion-sensing integration. Every sensor is factory-calibrated and MIL-qualified, so integrators get consistent, control-grade data whether they need a complete navigation solution or a raw calibrated sensor feed.
How Aeron Inertial Sensing Works
Every Aeron inertial product follows the same disciplined pipeline — from raw MEMS sensing to a trustworthy output, whether that's a fused navigation solution or a calibrated sensor feed.
Inertial Sensing
Tri-axial MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes continuously measure motion, acceleration and angular rate across every Aeron inertial product.
Calibration & Compensation
Every sensor is factory-calibrated for bias, misalignment and scale-factor error, and temperature-compensated across its full operating range.
Fusion or Direct Output
Navigation-grade systems fuse inertial and GNSS data through an Extended Kalman Filter; standalone IMU and gyro modules output calibrated data directly.
Resilient Integration
Position, attitude or calibrated motion data reach the customer’s autopilot, controller or guidance computer over standard industrial interfaces.
Our Solutions
Two purpose-built solution families, sharing a common MEMS inertial-sensing foundation.
Micro-Miniature Navigation: Pollux 3 INS-GNSS
Pollux 3 INS-GNSS
A family of highly compact MEMS-based Inertial Navigation Systems running an Extended Kalman Filter for near-tactical performance in a package small enough for UAVs, UGVs, and other unmanned systems where size and power are tightly constrained. Interfaces over RS232, UART and SPI/I²C for easy integration with autopilots and control computers.
The Castor Family
Castor IMU 1100
6DOF · RS422 InterfaceA high-end tactical-class inertial measurement unit combining a tri-axial MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope and inclinometer, delivering control-grade inertial data over RS422 for guidance, navigation and control systems.
Castor GYR 1200
3-Axis Gyro Module · RS422A tactical-class gyro module built around a high-performance triaxial MEMS gyroscope, running off a single +5V supply and qualified for high mechanical shock environments up to 1500 g.
Castor IMU 1640
OEM SPI · PCB-MountA high-end tactical-class IMU combining a tri-axial MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope, PCB-mountable directly onto a customer’s control board with a digital SPI interface at rates up to 4250 Hz.
Why Choose Aeron’s Robotics & Industrial Solutions?
Aeron’s Robotics & Industrial products share the same in-house calibration discipline and MIL-qualification rigor used across our aerospace and defence lines — scaled down into compact, low-power packages built for unmanned platforms and industrial control systems.
Every accelerometer and gyroscope is factory-characterized for bias, misalignment, and temperature drift before it ships, so integrators get consistent, repeatable sensor data unit after unit — whether it’s a fully-fused navigation system or a standalone calibrated IMU feed.
Factory-Calibrated Precision
Every sensor is characterized and calibrated in-house for bias, misalignment, scale-factor error, and temperature drift before it ships.

Infrastructure & Facilities
Built with a strong focus on reliability, quality, and scalability, our facilities enable us to deliver mission-critical technologies for aerospace, defence, automotive, renewable energy, and environmental applications.
To ensure performance under real-world operating conditions, our products undergo extensive environmental, functional, and reliability testing — vibration, thermal cycling, humidity, shock, and endurance testing across both business verticals.
This allows us to deliver systems capable of operating reliably in aircraft, unmanned systems, armoured vehicles, and remote tactical sites.
