Maritime

ASC provides high-performance inertial sensor solutions for the development, testing and operation of ships, underwater vehicles and offshore systems. Its precision accelerometers, gyroscopes and IMUs support applications ranging from hydrodynamic testing, ride comfort and smart shipping to gyro-compassing, autonomous navigation, port automation and subsea operations. Combining high accuracy and stability with robust designs, ASC’s inertial sensors deliver reliable motion data even under demanding maritime conditions.

For example, in ship development, ASC accelerometers and IMUs precisely capture vibrations, accelerations and 6-DOF motion during towing-tank, splashdown and slamming tests – helping engineers analyze hydrodynamic forces and identify potential design weaknesses early. In navigation, high-performance gyroscopes and tactical-grade IMUs provide accurate heading, orientation and motion data when GNSS is unavailable – a critical capability for ROVs, AUVs and other autonomous systems below the waterline.

From optimizing vessel design and passenger comfort to enabling smart ships and autonomous underwater vehicles: ASC inertial sensors provide the precision and reliability to navigate maritime innovation – above and below the water surface.
