Northfinder™/
GCAH-12C
Attitude and Direction Reference System (MEMS-AHRS)
Real-time attitude and heading angles are output without GPS
Product Features
- Achieves a more compact size, higher durability, and lower cost compared to RLG and FOG products by adopting MEMS gyroscopes
- Automatically calculates attitude and heading based on inertial sensor outputs
- Outputs real-time attitude orientation even in a area where GNSS is not available
Product Applications
- Excavation applications, buried pipe investigation
- Inertial navigation systems for aerospace and marine vehicles
- Automatic control for railways, automobiles, and industrial equipment
