Making Navigation Sensors Accessible to High-Volume Markets
iNGage pushes the boundaries of high-performance inertial MEMS navigation sensors for autonomous mobility. Leveraging a breakthrough technology, iNGage aims to make high-performance inertial navigation sensors—essential for GPS-free navigation—accessible to critical high-volume applications such as defense drones, industrial robotics and automotive.
Multi-Axis Tactical-Grade Inertial Navigation Sensors
iNGage’s unique and scalable MEMS technology platform enables the production of:
- Near navigation-grade multi-axis gyros
- Tactical-grade 6-DOF inertial sensors
- Pressure sensors with cm-level altimetry resolution
By drastically reducing the size, weight, and cost of high-performance sensor-fusion navigation systems, our sensors enable:
Precise Pointing and Guidance
Reliable Real-time Localization
Affordable High-performance Navigation
Ultra-Sensitive Piezoresistive Nano-Gage Detection
iNGage is revolutionizing inertial sensing by leveraging CEA-Leti’s M&NEMS technology that combines the scalability of MEMS technologies with a smaller and ultra-sensitive piezoresistive nano-gage detection principle. Built on standard MEMS process blocks and equipment, our technology is designed for seamless integration into existing high-volume, automotive-qualified MEMS and ASIC production infrastructures. By adopting a fabless business model, iNGage ensures scalability, cost efficiency, and rapid market deployment.
Developed over 15 years of R&D and protected by 30+ patents, this disruptive approach is bringing new levels of precision, compactness, and cost efficiency, paving the way for next-generation high-performance Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS).
Unlocking the Future of Autonomous Mobility
To operate without GNSS signals—whether underground, inside buildings, in mountainous or urban environments, or under jamming conditions—autonomous systems rely on high-performance gyroscopes and inertial measurement units (IMUs). However, existing solutions are bulky and costly. While MEMS technology offers the potential to meet size and cost constraints, no solution has yet achieved the required performance levels.
The emergence of affordable, high-precision navigation sensors will unlock new use cases, enhancing localization accuracy, autonomy, and overall system efficiency. This will enable new applications in autonomous mobility and precise activity monitoring across industries such as logistics, agriculture, survey, mapping, connected vehicles, and autonomous driving.
