Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

PCMSC MarFac uses Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) to measure a vessel’s angular rate and acceleration. When combined with global positioning and navigation equipment, IMUs can calculate position and orientation with 6 degrees of freedom: x, y, z, and pitch, roll, and yaw.
