ALHAMBRA, Calif. Raytheon officials selected EMCORE Corp. to deliver high-performance Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) modules for use in airborne optical targeting systems. The four-year contract is worth approximately over $18 million.

The FOG modules to be delivered are EMCORE’s tethered gyros with separate electronics and sensor modules to accommodate the a variety of installation parameters. The performance specifications of these FOGs are ideal for platform stabilization in camera systems used for optical targeting in aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and gun systems.
