UAS are especially sensitive to incremental weight and volume. As a result, autonomous platform operators may forego valuable sensing capabilities or compromise overall platform performance. LORD MicroStrain provides high-performance inertial sensing systems with minimal weight, size, and evaluation & integration barriers.
The company’s inertial solutions enable the cost effective application of precise primary and secondary unmanned navigation and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance). LORD MicroStrain provides tactical and high-end industrial grade miniature inertial sensors to the UAS market.
It’s user implementation procedure is streamlined to support rapid evaluation and integration with little development overhead, and low barriers to incorporate the latest sensor models & capabilities.
LORD GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Systems (GPS/INS), Attitude Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) are backed by comprehensive development kits.
Combined with the forward compatible MIP communication protocol, unmanned aircraft system operators have the flexibility of moving up or down the product line with little or no rewriting of code.
Calibrating each sensor to the same strict standard ensures identical performance between same model devices. As a result, UAS developers can be confident that integrating LORD MicroStrain sensors into their systems is a repeatable, cost-effective process.
