Announces 3rd Generation "LN Series" LandMark™ 10 IMU
New "LN Series" (Low Noise) MEMS IMU Now in Production Offers an Economy Class Rugged Workhorse IMU Solution with Vertical Gyro Option |
|
May 21, 2010 – Gladiator Technologies announced today their recently introduced 3rd generation "LN Series" LandMark™ 10 IMU, which builds upon the successful heritage of previous generation LandMark™ 10 IMU's. Like it's predecessors, the IMU shares a messaging protocol common to all LandMark™ family IMU's as well as form, fit and function interchangability with the higher performance LandMark™ 20 IMU eXT "LN Series". Designed with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, the unit is uncommonly rugged and features internal vibration isolation, improved black anodized machined aluminum packaging including a MILSPEC connector for improved environmental sealing and EMI resistance.The LandMark™10 IMU "LN Series" has many advanced performance features including:

The LandMark™10 IMU is the Economy Class workhorse IMU now available in a low cost and improved rugged package providing exceptional value and performance for various commercial applications. These applications range from motion monitoring in automotive racing and a host of platform stabilization apps to backup flight control and navigation.
Gladiator's CEO, Mark Chamberlain, commented, "The original LandMark™10 IMU was first introduced a little over three years ago and since that time we have continually incorporated improvements in the product culminating in the latest "LN Series" model announced here today. The most significant improvement is the nearly 6 times lower noise of the inertial sensors in this new "LN Series" model versus the original unit while also reducing the price of the unit by nearly 50% as our production volumes have increased. The LandMark™10 IMU has been a leading product for us and we expect this latest version to continue to offer our customers a highly competitive value proposition in price to performance. Our significant investments in technology development have continued to reap rewards in enabling industry leading high performance and low noise inertial sensors and systems."
Gladiator uses state-of-the-art design tools and manufacturing processes including fully automated temperature testing and proprietary calibration methods for environmental performance optimization. A comprehensive ERP system combined with lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques has enabled high volume production at low cost and high quality. Gladiator's quality system is certified to AS9100B/ISO9001:2000.
