XY-RecLight
In increasingly challenging operational environments, sole reliance on GNSS signals represents a critical vulnerability for navigation systems. The XY-RecLight module addresses this vital challenge by providing a robust optical signal acquisition platform engineered specifically to support inertial navigation systems (INS). By capturing data across multiple spectral bands, it enables the development of navigation technologies that maintain accuracy even in GNSS-denied environments.
XY-RecLight is a compact, high-performance module that records optical signals across the infrared (IR), visible, and ultraviolet (UV) spectra. Engineered for researchers and engineers developing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), loitering munitions, and electronic warfare systems, it delivers the multispectral detection capabilities essential for MEMS gyroscope calibration and aiding inertial navigation. Its lightweight architecture and high sampling rate provide a decisive operational advantage in demanding aerospace and defense applications.
