New "LN Series" INS/GPS Units- Low Noise and Excellent Bias

Gladiator Technologies is proud to our announce our next generation of advanced technology inertial systems which implement our newest and highest performance family of gyros and accelerometers. The "LN Series" implements new lower noise gyros and accelerometers into our existing family of LandMark™ systems offering both lower noise, better bias and various packaging improvements including improved environmental sealing and connectors. To assist you in selecting which system might best suit your application requirements a comparison of the product families, product models and key performance parameters of our inertial families is below:

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 new LandMark™ 30 INS/GPS "LN Series" offers Open Loop FOG performance utilizing our own low noise "LN Series" MEMS gyros and accelerometer. This integrated GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation System (INS) employs a fixed gain Kalman filter and features 2°/hour in-run bias and excellent bias over temperature. An internal vibration isolation system enables temperature compensated RS485 output of delta velocity, delta theta, heading, pitch and roll angles and altitude information in a ruggedized package. The GPS is 50 channel C/A code receiver with 4Hz position updated rate. GPS aiding is included in all units for turning error correction as well as for continued output during short-term GPS dropouts. The signature features are the low noise MEMS inertial sensors profiding integrated and synchronized GPS and inertial data. This INS/GPS performance is optimized with Fixed Gain Kalman Filter Aiding and fully compensated bias, scale factor, misalignment, g-sensitivity, heading, pitch and roll angles, altitude information integrated with a 4Hz GPS position data update rate GPS. This is in a ruggedized environmentally sealed package that is EMI resistant and includes a MILSPEC connector. The unit is highly durable and can withstand environmental vibration, shock and EMI typically associated with commercial aircraft requirements. The LandMark™ 30 INS/GPS "LN Series" is well suited for commercial flight control, navigation, antenna stabilization and pointing, general aviation as well as laboratory use.

The “LN Series” version of our LandMarkTM 20 INS/GPS is the lowest noise version of our standard LandMarkTM INS/GPS. The unit features ultra low noise gyros and accelerometers with exceptional bias in-run and bias over temperature performance with integrated GPS-Aiding in a small, light weight and low power ruggedized package. The unit provides RS485 output of delta velocity, delta theta, heading, pitch and roll angles, altitude information, position, velocity and precision time. The inertial suite is integrated with a 50 channel C/A code GPS receiver with 4Hz position update rate. GPS aiding is included in all units for turning error correction as well as for continued output during short-term GPS dropouts. The signature feature is the low noise inertial sensors that provide fully compensated bias, scale factor, misalignment, g-sensitivity, heading, pitch and roll angles and redundant altitude information. The unit employs a Kalman Filter to integrate the GPS data and GPS-Aiding in a ruggedized environmentally sealed package that is EMI resistant and includes a MILSPEC connector. This GPS-Aided AHRS is highly durable and can withstand environmental vibration, shock and EMI typically associated with commercial aircraft requirements. The LandMarkTM 20 INS/GPS eXT “LN Series” is well suited for low cost flight control, navigation, image stabilization, antenna stabilization and pointing, general aviation, automotive testing as well as laboratory use.
