Sparton Corporation will introduce AHRS-8, a highly advanced navigation sensor that enhances a best-in-class product line at AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems North America symposium August 6-9, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. AHRS-8 is a MEMS-based (micro electro-mechanical systems) attitude heading reference system. Fully temperature compensated and individually calibrated over temperature, the AHRS-8 is the perfect navigation solution for challenging environments requiring the highest level of accuracy. AHRS-8 complements Sparton’s full line of navigation sensor solutions designed specifically to meet systems designer’s stringent requirements.
“The AHRS-8 product will provide customers superior accuracy and stability at temperature extremes and offers the advantages of our revolutionary AdaptNav IIâ„¢ sensor fusion algorithm†said Jim Lackemacher, Vice President and General Manager of Sparton Navigation and Exploration division. “AdaptNav IIâ„¢ provides a whole new level of navigation sensor performance in environments where electro-magnetic noise is presentâ€.
Jim also adds, “Sparton\'s navigation sensors are the only products of their kind to provide full in-sensor programmability via the NorthTekâ„¢ Development System, and incorporates electro-magnetic disturbance compensation for both in-platform and transient disturbances.â€
“We invite our customers to see for themselves how Sparton’s Navigation and Exploration business is taking a leading role in navigation sensor technology for some of the most challenging applications†said Cary Wood, president and CEO, Sparton Corporation.
Features of AHRS-8 :
1) AdaptNav IIâ„¢ adaptive algorithms provide real-time optimization of navigation sensor performance in varying electro-magnetic and dynamic operating environments
2) Fully temperature compensated and individually calibrated over the -40? to +70? C operating range, providing industry leading heading accuracy in a broad range of environments
3) Powerful user sensor customization via the NorthTekâ„¢ Development System
4) User selectable gyro and accelerometer dynamic range
5) Low power, with power management capability (sleep mode)
6) True North heading output via built-in World Magnetic Model
7) Robust, fully encapsulated design
Sparton AUVSI 2012 Events Schedule:
1) Live demonstrations will be held to demonstrate the best-in-class navigation sensor technology Tuesday, August 7 at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, August 8 at 12:45 pm and Thursday, August 9 at 1:30 pm PDT
2) Sparton Corporation will be featured at “Beyond the Showcase†Wednesday, August 8 at 11:30 am. PDT
3) Throughout the show, Sparton will demonstrate the AHRS-8 in real operating environments at its booth.
