A fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) serves as a highly precise rotation sensor employed in navigation and guidance systems for vehicles, including aircraft, spacecraft, and ships. This advanced sensor utilizes the principle of light interference within optical fibers to accurately and reliably detect rotational movements. It finds application in a variety of contexts where precise navigation and control systems are essential.

Fiber optic gyroscopes come in several types, including gyrocompasses, inertial navigation systems, inertial measurement units, and others. Gyrocompasses, for instance, function as non-magnetic compasses, utilizing a rapidly spinning disk and the Earth's rotation to ascertain the heading of a vehicle. These gyroscopes operate across different sensing axes such as 1-axis, 2-axis, and 3-axis, catering to a range of applications including tactical-grade uses, guidance for remotely operated vehicles, aeronautics and aviation, robotics, defense and homeland security, as well as industrial applications.
