To address emerging electronic warfare (EW) threats, which are becoming increasingly more agile and moving up the spectrum, radio frequency (RF) and microwave component designs are also evolving.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) has a reputation as a leader in the aerospace and defense industry as manufacturers have leveraged our technology for over 50 years enabling the warfighter, aviation, and space exploration. While aerospace & eefense manufacturers have often referred to us a “chipmaker,” that characterization is quickly changing to a truer representation of ADI as a “complete systems solutions provider.”

NORWOOD, Mass. Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) announced today that its ADIS16505 MEMS inertial measurement unit (IMU) has received the Electronics Industry Award for Automotive Product of the Year. The ADIS16505 is a 6DoF IMU capable of precision measurement of all rotational and linear motion of a platform, even under the harshest and most dynamic conditions. It is the first autonomous grade IMU available in a surface mount package, enabling its use within any land, air, or sea vehicle which can benefit from accurate positioning information.
