EMCORE Awarded $4M Contract for Maritime Navigation

Mixed-signal optics provider EMCORE Corp. has been awarded a contract valued at more than $4 million to design and manufacture navigational-grade inertial navigation systems for maritime applications.

These systems will be based on the EMCORE-Orion series of navigators, which incorporates EMCORE’s latest-generation fiber optic gyroscope technology. It is designed to be a form, fit, and function replacement for legacy LN-100 units used in this application. As part of the contract, EMCORE expects to deliver initial production units that will be used for production.

EMCORE’s optical products are used in high-speed communication network infrastructures and defense systems.
