The HG5700 is a gyrocompass-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)/ Inertial Navigation System (INS) designed to meet the needs of a broad range of guidance and control applications. The HG5700 is based off the successful navigation grade GG1320 gyro and HG1700 IMU that have been successfully deployed on a wide range of military and commercial aircraft and ground applications. Honeywell has manufactured and delivered over 500,000 GG1320 gyros worldwide and over 450,000 HG1700 IMUs.
The HG5700 is a product that bridges the performance gap between the HG1700 high performance tactical-grade IMU and the HG9900 high performance navigation-grade IMU. The HG5700 fulfills the need for better performance than the HG1700 at a smaller size and lower cost than the HG9900.
