Athena 611
Athena 611

OVERVIEW


Maximum performance at the minimum size, weight and price.
To meet the performance demands of todays sophisticated UAVs and military aircraft, we have designed the Athena 611 to include navigational grade IMU, Kalman filter INS/GPS.

Our engineers have designed the Athena 611 with electrical and mechanical manufacturing processes that meet MIL-SPEC environmental requirements, including temperature, shock, vibration, EMI, power and humidity to accommodate the harsh flying environments.


Key benefits

  • Accurate roll, pitch, heading, in dynamic maneuvers and sustained turns
  • Full air data measurements including AoA and sideslip
  • Tolerant to GPS outage
  • Optional software module providing Rockwell Collins full suite of advanced and flight proven autopilot, guidance, navigation and mission management functions
