Athena 511
Athena 511

OVERVIEW


Integrated INS/GPS/ADAHRS/flight controls.
Todays UAV and military applications require highly sophisticated, compact and affordable INS/GPS/ADAHRS/flight controls integrated solutions. We have designed the Athena 511 to meet these requirements.

With our electrical and mechanical design and manufacturing process, our Athena 511 meets MIL-SPEC environmental requirements, including temperature, shock, vibration, EMI, power, and humidity to accommodate the harsh flying environments.

Athena 511 leverages Rockwell Collins solid foundation of performance and hundreds of thousands of hours of operational and in-theater experience, providing our customers with solutions to enable their UAV systems the shortest time to market at the lowest life cycle cost.


Key benefits

  • Tactical grade IMU (1, 2 or 3°/hr)
  • Differential ready, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver
  • Built-in air data systems pressure transducers including static, airspeed and flow angle measurements
  • Full INS and attitude solution
  • Accurate roll, pitch, heading in dynamic maneuvers and sustained turns
  • Kalman filter INS providing high accuracy navigation and control state vector
