Athena 111
Athena 111

OVERVIEW


High-performance, low-cost, integrated INS/GPS/ADAHARS and magnetometer sensor suite.
Rockwell Collins engineers have integrated solid-state gyros, accelerometers, magnetometer, GPS receiver and air data pressure transducers into the Athena 111 to meet the demands of any unmanned vehicle application.

The Athena 111 includes a built-in automatic magnetometer calibration which simplifies the installation process. Our engineers have made use of Kalman filter algorithms and GPS/magnetometer reference in order to achieve superior accuracy during dynamic maneuvers. To protect from moisture contamination, we have equipped the Athena 111 with a sealed enclosure to ensure a long, troublefree life and performance over full altitude and temperature range.


Key benefits

  • Provides attitude and heading measurement with static and dynamic accuracy
  • Includes a differential ready, WAAS‑enabled GPS receiver
  • Full air data measurements
