Introducing the Inertial Labs KERNEL-201: The Ultimate Compact Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)

Inertial Labs is excited to unveil the KERNEL-201, the newest member of its advanced miniature MEMS sensor-based Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) family. The KERNEL-201 sets a new standard in compact, high-performance IMUs, offering exceptional accuracy and reliability in a tiny package. 

Built with precision in mind, the KERNEL-201 features three-axis MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes that deliver ultra-low noise, high bandwidth, and minimal latency. This makes it ideal for applications like pointing, stabilization, and navigation in systems where performance and size matter. With a mere volume of 0.38 cubic inches, it boasts an outstanding size-to-performance ratio, offering a high dynamic range. 

What sets the KERNEL-201 apart is its advanced integration of MEMS sensor technology. Fully calibrated and temperature-compensated, the unit ensures consistent, precise measurements in even the most demanding environments. The KERNEL-201 provides in-run bias stability up to 0.7 deg/hr for gyroscopes and 0.005 mg for accelerometers, along with a low angular random walk (ARW) of 0.065°/√hr and velocity random walk (VRW) of 0.015 m/sec/√hr. It’s designed to withstand high shock and vibration while maintaining peak performance. 

Engineered for versatility, the KERNEL-201 is easy to integrate into various high-level systems such as motion reference units (MRUs), GPS-aided inertial navigation systems (INS), and attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS). It offers continuous built-in testing (BIT), customizable communication protocols, and flexible power options, making it a perfect fit for demanding applications across industries. 

Whether you’re working with autonomous vehicles, antenna or line-of-sight stabilization systems, or unmanned aerial and underwater vehicles (UAVs, AUVs, ROVs), the KERNEL-201 provides robust, reliable control. It’s also an excellent solution for gimbals, platform stabilization, or monitoring the motion of racing boats or buoys. 

With the KERNEL-201, Inertial Labs has redefined precision and reliability in the IMU space. This revolutionary unit will become a game-changer for industries that rely on high-performance inertial measurement solutions. 

“The KERNEL-201 delivers precision inertial measurements in a compact and rugged form, making it ideal for stationary and dynamic applications,” said Jamie Marraccini, CEO at Inertial Labs. “With its cutting-edge MEMS sensors and robust construction, this IMU is unmatched in performance.”
