All of our IMU's have a common messaging protocol enabling a user to have a "common cockpit" to move up or down in performance without having to change any software in their system. All of our IMU's feature internal vibration isolation, precision alignment and environmental sealing for robust performance in challenging environments.

The LandMark™ 30 GPS/AHRS "LN Series" is our highest performance GPS-Aided attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) and combines ultra low noise MEMS gyros (0.003°/sec/√Hz) and accelerometers to enable open-loop FOG performance with lower cost MEMS sensors. In addition, it combines a precise three axis magnetometer to provide heading information and barometric pressure sensor for altitude information. The integrated inertial suite is combined with and aided by GPS with a single output datastream. This low noise and high performance MEMS GPS/AHRS is ideal for sophisticated technology users experienced with high performance inertial and magnetometer-based GPS systems that desire both lower cost and no wear-out modes for long system life. In addition to the ultra low noise MEMS gyros and accelerometers other key performance advantages include In-Run Gyro Bias of 8°/hour 2σ, Bias Over Temperature of <0.03°/sec all available within input power ranges of +6V to +36V making it ideal for many ground transportation and aircraft applications.

The LandMark™ 20 GPS/AHRS eXT "LN Series" is our mid-peformance GPS-Aided AHRS combining small size with superior performance. The ultra low noise MEMS gyros (0.01°/sec/√Hz) and accelerometers enable users to have low noise and excellent performance in a small environmentally sealed and robust package. In addition, it combines a precise three axis magnetometer to provide heading information and barometric pressure sensor for altitude information. The integrated inertial suite is combined with and aided by GPS with a single output datastream.This MEMS GPS/AHRS is ideal for technology users requiring the combination of high performance, small size and lower power consumption (< 0.825 watt). In addition to the ultra low noise MEMS gyros, other key performance advantages include In-Run Gyro Bias of 15°/hour 2σ, Bias Over Temperature of <0.05°/sec all available within a nearly 4 cubic inch package size with +3.3V input power making it ideal for a multitude of land, sea and aircraft applications.
