2023 brought big changes at Gladiator Technologies. We moved to a new 25,000 square foot facility that has given us needed space for our growing team, new equipment and increased production capacity.

Thankfully, we didn’t have to move far! Our new office was across the street and allowed for a smooth transition of our production line. 

New Address:
35329 SE Center St

Gladiator Technologies has been awarded a multi-year contract by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control to supply the G300D gyroscope for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM®) program. Deliveries will begin in 2023 and extend into 2026.. 

Effective against high-value, well-fortified targets, JASSM is integrated on the U.S. Air Force’s B-1B, B-2, B-52, F-16 and F-15E. The B-1B also carries JASSM-ER. Internationally, JASSM is carried on the F/A-18A/B and the F-18C/D aircraft. (Photo: Lockheed Martin) 

 Gladiator Technologies’ G300D Gyroscope has been chosen to replace a Dynamically Tuned Gyroscope facing obsolescence. Gladiator’s Three Axis MEMS Gyroscope features ultra-low noise sensors, VELOX® High Speed Processing and is designed in a compact form factor ideal for gimbal stabilization.

      Armed with a penetrating blast-fragmentation warhead, JASSM and JASSM-Extended Range (ER) can be used in all weather conditions. They share the same powerful capabilities and stealth characteristics, though JASSM-ER has greater than 500 nmi. In addition to the enhanced digital anti-jam GPS receiver, these highly accurate cruise missiles also employ an infrared seeker to dial into specific points on targets.

“The success of the mission is what we think about every day, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the JASSM program team, including its supplier partners. Gladiator Technologies provides the continued technologies needed to support the delivery of these crucial systems that keep our warfighters safe.” 

– Scott Redmerski – JASSM Program Director, Lockheed Martin

Gladiator Technologies has been awarded a multi-year contract in support of the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Program. Developed in transatlantic cooperation by Germany and the U.S., RAM is manufactured and marketed by the industrial partners RAM-System GmbH – a joint venture of Diehl Defence and MBDA Deutschland – and Raytheon Missiles & Defense. Gladiator Technologies’ LandMark™ IMU has been selected for the RAM’s next-generation Block 2B upgrade and will be supplied to support Full Rate Production beginning in 2023.

 RAM is a shipboard defense system against approaching anti-ship missiles, aircraft, helicopters and vessels. The weapon system stands out due to its high firepower and short reaction times. The missile autonomously guides itself into the target by means of its dual-mode (radar and infrared) seeker. 

      The LandMark™ IMU is a high-performance MEMS IMU that is less than 0.7 cubic inches, features low noise gyroscopes and accelerometers, high dynamic measurement ranges and Gladiator’s proprietary VELOX™ Processing that enables firmware configuration, low phase delay and high output rates. The LandMark™ IMU is uniquely configured for high dynamic environments including high shock and vibration.

“The qualification demands on this program were extremely challenging and after successfully meeting the performance requirements we are thrilled to be awarded a contract to begin delivering our LandMark™ IMU in support of this program for the US Navy and German Navy. Our inertial sensors continue to provide highly capable performance and value to customers seeking to achieve both technical upgrades and value engineering.”

LandMark^TM 60 IMU offers 5kHz data rates and low noise sensors with easy to configure options for application customization.

Published on September 26, 2018

Snoqualmie, WA; September 26, 2018 – GLADIATOR TECHNOLOGIES is pleased to introduce its highest performance IMU, the LandMark^TM 60.  Designed for precision stabilization, flight control and complex motion, the LandMark^TM 60 IMU offers the accuracy and speed to replace legacy analog technologies and a price point that enables new cost-effective inertial measurement solutions.

The LandMark^TM 60 IMU features low noise gyros, 0.0016°/sec/√Hz, low noise accels, 0.05mg/√Hz and up to 6kHz data rate with external sync. Gladiator Technologies uses proprietary methods to ensure performance repeatability and to minimize sensor bias and scale factor errors over a full temperature range.  The unit itself is small and lightweight, drawing less than 500mW in typical applications.

“We’ve packed an incredible amount of performance into our all new LandMark^TM 60 IMUs,” commented Len McNally, Gladiator Technologies’ Vice President of Business Development.  “Specifically, the LandMark^TM 60 offers very low noise output with very high-speed processing and data rate in an environmentally robust package.”

The LandMark^TM 60 IMU draws upon Gladiator Technologies’ SX-series architecture, which extends sensor fusion technologies into high speed applications with industry leading message latency less than 200 µsec. The output offers minimal phase lag like an analog sensor by virtually eliminating typical signal processing and digital conversion overheads.

“The hallmark signature of our new SX Series inertial family is industry leading low sensor noise coupled with our new digital electronics architecture, which offers extremely fast data rates and reduced latency. The LandMark^TM 60 IMU offers the very best in these technologies,” stated Mark Chamberlain, CEO.

The LandMark^TM 60 IMU provides a standard RS422/RS485 digital output as well as a CAN bus output option.  External sync input, bit rate, output message rate and baud rate are all selectable via the Gladiator Technologies Software Development Kit (SDK) or by easy-to-use software protocols.  Product details are available on the Gladiator Technologies website, www.gladiatortechnologies.com.  Sales inquiries may be made through the contact page on the website (https://f11.7cd.myftpupload.com/contact/) or through one of the international support representatives listed on the site.
