Measuring angular rotation is important for proper operation of a variety of systems such as: missile guidance systems, satellites, energy exploration, camera stabilization, robotics positioning, platform stabilization and spacecraft guidance to mention a few. This technology overcomes the limitations that previous commercially available gyros for this purpose have had including limitations in size, accuracy, sensitivity, durability, and premium price.
