Navigation and Sensors

Navigating the Future of Flight

We have decades of experience engineering and manufacturing high-performance navigation and sensor products for commercial, defense, industrial and space applications.

Explore Our Products

Accelerometers 

With more than three million shipped since 2001, our quartz-based accelerometers have earned a reputation for being the industry standard because of their unparalleled accuracy, durability and quality.

Air Data Management 

We provide several varieties of RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minima)- compliant ADCs (Air Data Computers), which use our sensor technology to deliver products with industry-leading size, weight, power, accuracy and stability.

Alignment Systems 

Our precision boresight alignment system (PBAS) is a non-optical, gyro-stabilized computerized system that uses navigation-grade inertial technology to capture and calculate boresight alignment corrections.

Alternative Navigation 

Alternative navigation systems use cameras, LiDAR, radar, radios and star tracker sensors to augment and/or aid inertial navigation systems where GPS is unavailable.

Attitude Heading Reference Systems 

Our micro-electromechanical system (MEMS)-based attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) are designed to provide unparalleled reliability and performance with significantly reduced size and weight compared to similar systems.

Ground Based Augmentation Systems 

Our magneto-resistive sensors and ground-based augmentation system (GBAS) provide cost-effective precision navigation solutions for everything from watches to airports.

Gyroscopes 

Our precision gyroscope and portable alignment tool help make sure your vehicle is positioned accurately, filtering out ambient motion.

Inertial Navigation Systems 

Our customers around the world rely on our inertial navigation systems for air travel, especially in areas like urban air mobility. But they also deploy them in autonomous vehicles, drones, robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used for surveying and mapping.

Magnetic Sensing 

Our low-field magnetic sensors are among the industry’s most sensitive and reliable, designed to accurately detect the direction and magnitude of external magnetic fields for compassing, magnetometry and positioning applications.

Receivers 

Our third-generation integrated multi-mode receiver (IMMR) is the air transport industry’s only fully digital navigation receiver, incorporating instrument landing systems (ILS), global positioning systems (GPS), GPS landing systems (GLS) and VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR).

Software Updates 

Update your magnetic variation table every 10 years to avoid operational restrictions in northernmost airports like those serving Anchorage, Fairbanks, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Thermal Switches 

Our high-reliability thermal switches are the result of years of meticulous engineering. Customers can select any number of off-the shelf designs, eliminating the need for nonrecurring engineering.
