"Next Generation" System Has Remote Magnetometer
Capability
Crossbow Technology has released
release of its next generation MEMS AHRS with the remote
magnetometer capability. The CRM500 Remote Magnetometer extends the
use of the AHRS500 into the most challenging types of aircraft
installations. CRM500 is FAA certified for TSO C6d with AHRS500 and
is already in production.
The highly integrated AHRS500 is being widely deployed in
multiple avionics applications. As we deployed AHRS500 in multiple
aircrafts, we realized that in some fixed wing and helicopter
applications, it was specifically beneficial to have the
magnetometer separated from the main unit to enable reliable
performance. The unit is ideal for installation in aircraft tail or
wing. CRM500 comes in multiple form factors and configurations to
enable easy "plug n play" upgrades from the existing Floated Flux
Gate sensor systems.
"We are excited about the launch of
the next generation AHRS system. It will widely extend the aircraft
where Crossbow's state-of-the-art electronic MEMS sensor technology
is deployed," said Mike Horton, President and CEO of Crossbow
Technology. "It continues to demonstrate our commitment to
innovation and establishing leadership in the avionics sensors
market."
The Crossbow AHRS500GA is a high performance, solid-state
attitude and heading reference system intended for general aviation
aircraft. This high reliability inertial system provides attitude
and heading measurement with static and dynamic accuracy superior
to traditional spinning mass vertical and directional gyros.
Crossbow is the first to offer the General Aviation pilot the
reliability of solid-state MEMS sensors in a low cost AHRS that
meets all the FAA TSO certification requirements. The AHRS500 is
designed for the future and has passed the tough new multiple
lightning strike test as part of its qualification testing. This
makes it ideal for the new generation of panels.
Training Seminar on MEMS-based AHRS
Crossbow Technology is also offering
a training seminar and workshop on the evolution of the gyro and
AHRS technology from vacuum and electric gyros to MEMS-based solid
state AHRS at the AEA show in Dallas on April 30 at 1300. Attendees
will be taught how to install, maintain, and calibrate AHRS systems
for EFIS displays. Crossbow Technology is exhibiting at the AEA
show in Dallas, TX. Visit us at booth #302 to learn more about our
products.
