IMU

The MX-20, in all configurations, comes equipped with an onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). This high-performance unit incorporates solid-state fiber-optic gyro technology for high sensitivity and reliability in a compact volume.

Fully utilizing this IMU-inside technology, the MX-20 further delivers maximum target location accuracy through employing WESCAM’s MX-GEO features package:

GEO-Pointing
bullet Makes tracking easy; the turret follows the subject with hands-free simplicity
bullet Locks all sensors on a precise lat/long position and aims the turret at that fixed point regardless of aircraft movement or obstructions within your line of sight
 
GEO-Steering
bullet Eliminates over-steering by smoothing the motion of the turret
bullet Relieves the operator of the strain of continuous compensation
   
GEO-Focus
bullet Bring any scene into focus with the flick of a switch
bullet Ensures correct focus at all times, even when alternating between sensors
bullet Automatically refocus the subject while flying above broken cloud cover
   
Family Commonality:
The expanded MX-family of turrets maximizes the use of common components and common interior avionics, simplifying interchangeability with efficiencies in support and technology enhancements. This MX-Family commonality delivers low overall life-cycle costs.
