Announces Production Release of New Ultra Low Noise LandMark™ 40 MEMS IMU and Vertical Gyro
Ultra Low ARW Noise at 0.002°/sec/√Hz and In-Run Bias of 10°/hour |
August 17, 2011 – Gladiator Technologies announced today production release of their newest and highest performance IMU, the low noise LandMark™ 40 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Vertical Gyro (VG). This new IMU builds upon the successful heritage of the company's low noise "LN Series" IMU product families, including the economy-class LandMark™ 10, the mid-performance LandMark™ 20, one cubic inch LandMark™ 21 and the high performance LandMark™ 30 product families. This new IMU is form, fit and function compatible with both the LandMark™ 10 and 20 IMU's at just 4.4 cubic inches in size, yet offers substantial improvement in performance with both lower noise and higher performance MEMS gyros and accelerometers. |

All the LandMark™ IMU's share a common IMU messaging protocol for a "common cockpit" approach enabling users the option to choose the IMU performance, size, weight and price that best suits their application and market without having to rewrite any IMU interface software. This latest addition to our family of IMU's offers best-in-class gyro noise while including the other feature-rich advantages of its predecessor IMU's. The LandMark™ 40 features Finite Element Analysis (FEA) designed internal vibration isolation and robust environmental sealing for EMI protection as well as data rates up to 500Hz enabling exceptional performance for a variety of size and weight constrained applications. The LandMark™ 40 IMU has many advanced performance features including:

Gladiator's CEO, Mark Chamberlain, remarked, "Gladiator offers one of the broadest high performance MEMS inertial product lines in the world. The new LandMark™ 40 stretches our performance levels to new heights and we are excited to be a leader in the high performance MEMS inertial market. While offering a substantial performance upgrade to our other IMU's, it retains its full interchangeability with the large installed base of both the LandMark™ 10 and 20 IMU's, enabling an easy upgrade path for our customers that need higher performance for new applications."
Chamberlain added, "Our strength in technology innovation continues and we expect to announce our latest INS/GPS system as well several new sensors and systems later this year."
Gladiator uses state-of-the-art design tools and manufacturing processes including fully automated environmental and temperature testing and proprietary calibration methods for environmental performance optimization. A comprehensive ERP system, powered by Oracle™, 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/ISO9001:2008.
