New "LN Series" VG/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 all new MEMS LandMark™ 30 VG/GPS "LN Series" is a high performance inertial sensor, and features our own G100Z MEMS gyros and A40 MEMS accelerometer, which enable precision measurements including 8°/hour in-run and excellent bias over temperature. The inertial suite provides internally temperature compensated integrated GPS-Aided Vertical Gyro. It features high RS485 output of delta velocity, delta theta, heading, pitch and roll angles and altitude information. All 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 integrated GPS and inertial data, which is optimized with velocity 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 VG/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 LandMark™ 20 GPS/AHRS eXT "LN Series" is a low noise GPS-aided vertical gyro. The unit features very 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 altitude information. The unit employs a Fixed Gain Kalman Filter to integrate the GPS data and IMU data in a ruggedized environmentally sealed package that is EMI resistant and includes a MILSPEC connector. This GPS-Aided VG is highly durable and can withstand environmental vibration, shock and EMI typically associated with commercial aircraft requirements. The LandMarkTM 20 VG/GPS “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.
