Join us for the webinar “The IMU Equation: Solving Unmanned Challenges” where we’ll explore the critical role of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) in enhancing the performance and reliability of unmanned systems. Delve into the integration of IMUs within the Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) architecture, and discover their applications in unmanned systems with a focus on Low-SWaP vs. Ultra-low-SWaP solutions. We’ll present MEMS and HRG based solutions, STIM and Iconyx, showcasing performance data for guided munition and UxV applications, respectively. Additionally, gain insights into future IMU technologies based on the latest professional research. The webinar will conclude with a Q&A session, offering you the chance to engage with our experts. This is an invaluable opportunity for defense and military engineers, unmanned systems developers, and technology integrators to stay at the forefront of IMU advancements in unmanned systems. Register now to secure your spot!

Rob Compton Senior Technical Fellow, Safran Federal Systems Rob Compton is a Senior Technical Fellow at Safran Federal Systems, working to develop the next generation of navigation and timing technologies. Prior to joining SFS, Rob spent 15 years in Honeywell’s Advanced Technologies group, developing quantum technology for miniature atomic clocks, magnetometers, and atomic inertial sensors. Early in his career, Dr. Compton served as an NSF postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he studied fundamental atomic physics in Bose-Einstein Condensates. Rob has a Ph.D in Physics from the University of Minnesota where he worked on magnetic microsystems with applications in information storage media.

Robert Gassert Senior Technical Fellow, Safran Federal Systems Rob Gassert is a Senior Technical Fellow at Safran Federal Systems, specializing in GNSS and inertial navigation systems. Rob has 30 years of experience in avionics systems development, test, and certification, primarily related to military and commercial navigation systems. Before joining Safran Federal Systems in 2023, Rob was a Technical Fellow at Sikorsky/Lockheed Martin supporting rotary wing programs for more than 10 years. Before joining Sikorsky, Rob was the navigation system engineering lead on Northrop Grumman’s X-47B UCAS-D program. Earlier in his career, Rob worked at Honeywell as an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) and Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) systems engineer, and an avionics applications engineer. Rob received bachelor’s degrees in aerospace and electrical engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
