MEMS accelerometer ±30g is made on deep reactive etch technology. With the help of such technology it is possible to get structures with high aspect resolution (correlation of structure width and its depth). High aspect structures correlation of accelerometers mechanical parts made on such technology provides high accuracy and linearity of measurements.

Possibility of usage MEMS accelerometers in systems with proximity fuse of new generation.

Modern tendency in proximity fuse area is mechanical assemblies’ replacement (especially mechanical devices which work out time periods) by electronic blocks. For fuses of next generation it is required timing device with smaller sizes that provides more reliability than mechanical one.

Such timing devices must be constructed on MEMS accelerometers basis which have reasonable price and at the same time they are able to work out required forces and shifts at low energy consumption.

Small-sized inertial navigation systems.
MEMS accelerometers (along with other components) are successfully used in Small-sized inertial navigation systems.

Such systems provide:

minimum size and weight characteristics and thus fuel, materials saving and increasing of flying object working capacity;
low expenses for management system energy supplying;
end product cost reducing with increasing of its competitive ability at global market;
independence, interference protection, accuracy and flexibility in use;
forming of navigation parameters including high-speed and highly maneuvered objects within unlimited range of orientation angles and release information to the consumer in digital form;
integration with any receivers of satellite navigation systems GPS-GLONASS.

Comparison of Sovtest ATE accelerometer and other manufacturers’ products.
Nowadays at global market there are no such accelerometers which have at ones wide range of speed-up measures, high accuracy, reliability and possibility to measure speed-up along several axes simultaneously.

New Sovtest ATE accelerometer answers all the requirements mentioned above and turns up a unique product having no analogues at global market.

Below there is comparison of Sovtest ATE double-axis accelerometer and accelerometer of Colibrys (Sweden). From the data in the table it is obvious that having similar technical characteristics Colibrys accelerometer has possibility to measure speed-up only along one axis while Sovtest ATE accelerometer carries out measurements along 2 axes. This is the primary advantage of home produced MEMS accelerator over the foreign one.
