Gladiator Landmark 50 AHRSGladiator Technologies released the LandMarkā„¢ 50 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS). This new AHRS builds upon the successful heritage of the company’s LandMarkTM AHRS product families, including the LandMarkā„¢ 10, 20, 30 and 40. The LandMarkā„¢ 50 AHRS is form, fit and function interchangeable with the proven LandMarkā„¢ 30 AHRS, yet offers substantial improvement in performance utilizing their newest high performance MEMS gyros and accelerometers.

All LandMarkā„¢ AHRS’s use only gyros and accelerometers to accurately calculate pitch and roll angles. The unit also includes a hard and soft iron calibrated temperature modeled triaxial magnetometer for heading as well as internal barometric pressure sensor. The internal software will automatically provide turning error correction with an external customer supplied velocity input, either analog or digital. All Gladiator AHRSā€™s share a common messaging protocol for a “common cockpit” approach enabling users the option to choose the AHRS performance, size, weight and price that best suits their application without having to rewrite any interface software. The LandMarkā„¢ 50 AHRS features robust environmental sealing for EMI protection with an RS485 data rate of 100Hz (4 KHz internal sampling rate) and offers many advanced performance features:

  • Pitch & Roll Angles Ā±0.1Ā° typical
  • Heading Angle Ā±0.5Ā° typical
  • Wide Input Voltage Range +6V to +36V
  • Low Gyro Noise 0.001Ā°/sec/āˆšHz (0.042Ā°/āˆšHour)
  • Low Accel Noise 0.025mg/āˆšHzĀ 
  • In-Run Gyro Bias 1Ā°/hour 1 Ļƒ
  • Altitude Ā±3 meter typical
  • Fully Temperature Compensated Bias and Scale Factor
  • Misalignment 1mrad and g-Sensitivity <0.002Ā°/sec/g 1Ļƒ
  • External Sync Input (1 kHz or 1pps)
  • Bandwidth Filtering Capability
  • Export U.S. Commerce ECCN7A994

Gladiator’s CEO, Mark Chamberlain, stated, “Gladiator Technologies continues to rapidly innovate and introduce high performance MEMS inertial technologies with the release of the LandMarkTM 50 AHRS and will be introducing other new inertial systems soon.ā€
