DE LEON SPRINGS, FL /BUSINESS WIRE/ -- Sparton Corp. will feature AHRS-8, a highly advanced inertial sensor that enhances a best-in-class product line at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Annual Meeting, booth 400, November 4–9, 2012, in Las Vegas, NV. The AHRS-8 is a MEMS-based (micro electro-mechanical systems) attitude heading reference system. Fully temperature compensated and individually calibrated over temperature, the AHRS-8 is the perfect navigation solution for challenging environments requiring the highest level of accuracy, such as in oil and gas exploration. AHRS-8 complements Sparton's full line of inertial sensor solutions, designed specifically to meet systems designer's stringent requirements.
"Our AHRS-8 provides full in-sensor programmability via the NorthTek Development System and offers superior accuracy and stability at temperature extremes with our revolutionary AdaptNav II sensor fusion algorithm," said Jim Lackemacher, Vice President of Sparton Navigation and Exploration and Defense and Security divisions. "The AHRS-8 also provides revolutionary centripetal acceleration error correction that drives the highest level of accuracy in the most dynamic situations," he added.
