Quadrans is a fully strapdown gyrocompass and Attitude & Heading Reference System (AHRS) designed to deliver reliable heading and motion data for demanding marine navigation and control applications. Based on interferometric Fiber-Optic Gyroscope (iFOG) technology, it provides accurate heading, roll, pitch, heave, surge, and sway measurements without the need for moving parts, ensuring stable performance even in challenging sea conditions. Certified to IMO and IMO-HSC standards, the system supports vessel navigation, stabilization, and control with fast settling time and consistent output, including during high sea states.
Engineered for long-term operation, Quadrans offers maintenance-free performance with a proven operational lifespan and high mean time between failures, reducing lifecycle costs and downtime. Its compact, plug-and-play design, combined with Ethernet and serial connectivity, enables straightforward integration across a wide range of vessel types. The system features an embedded interface without the need for dedicated control units, and supports open protocols for flexible interfacing with onboard systems. Widely deployed across naval fleets, commercial vessels, and competitive sailing platforms, Quadrans provides a dependable alternative to mechanical gyrocompasses with enhanced reliability and ease of use.
