Highest safety standards for Airbus Helicopters: The LCR-350B Attitude and Heading Reference System from LITEF

Highest safety standards for Airbus Helicopters:
The LCR-350B Attitude and Heading Reference System from LITEF


The open sea is notorious for the rough winds that blow across its waters. Safely manoeuvring a helicopter under such harsh conditions requires sure instinct and years of experience from the pilots. This becomes necessary, for example, when offshore wind farms have to be maintained on the high seas or employees have to be transported to or from their workplace on oil platforms. But apart from the pilots' flying skills, there is another thing that is crucial: the right technology behind everything. It is worth taking a closer look at the interior of the helicopters.

Overview

SAFE IN
EXTREME POSITIONS

LITEF HAS BEEN SUPPLYING THE ARMY, AIR FORCE AND NAVY WITH RELIABLE NAVIGATION AND STABILISATION SOLUTIONS FOR DECADES

Due to their technical robustness, LITEF products successfully safeguard deployments and missions right around the world. With navigation solutions in various accuracy classes (tactical to navigation grade), inertial products provide both ultra-precise position- and attitude-/heading data. In particular, if GNSS data/signals (GNNS Denied Environment) are unavailable or disrupted, it remains possible to continue with precise guidance of the mission. In addition, our navigation systems offer a high level of reliability and the option of providing “hybrid” position and location information with the support of external GNSS receiver data. High shock, acceleration and vibration loads are the environmental conditions for which our ITAR-free products were conceived and developed. Through our continuous enhancement of FOG and MEMS technologies at the Freiburg site in Germany, LITEF is able today and in the future to provide inertial solutions that combine light weight, low volume and reduced power consumption as well as very precise sensor data.

GIVE THE TEAM WHAT IT NEEDS

We have been developing inertial systems for various types of use and applications in close collaboration with our customers and authorities since 1961. Our solutions help the users, protect soldiers and comply with stringent military standards.
