VSG Repair Capabilities
As the US distributor for the VSG before it was discontinued, Watson Industries has the expertise needed to repair and calibrate your gyro. If you use VSG gyros as a sensor or in an instrumentation package that needs repair, contact Watson Industries.
VSG Gyros
Watson Industries was the U.S. distributor for the British Aerospace VSG gyro. BAE discontinued the product line in early 2008. Once our stock of new BAE VSGs was exhausted, we discontinued the product line. Watson Industries has designed the Pro Gyro® and the ARS-G152 to be replacements for the VSG.
IMU-E604
The Watson IMU-E604 featured triaxial rate gyros, accelerometers, and a three-axis fluxgate magnetometer. Since the sensor was typically used for ground-based applications, the GPS Aided Watson inertial measurement units have replaced the functions of the IMU.
