LITEF, a leading supplier of high-precision navigation systems, is presenting ground-breaking technologies for the stabilisation and navigation of guided missiles at the Paris Air Show 2025. With over 60 years of experience in the development of inertial sensors for military applications, LITEF has once again developed solutions that revolutionise the precision and efficiency of modern missile systems.
LFK-150
Robust, high-precision fibre optic gyro technology
As a gyro compass and for high-precision stabilisation
The LFK-150 is a further development of the successful family of LLN navigation systems. It combines high-precision fibre optic gyro technology with robustness, as required for military applications. With its low-noise sensor data and heading-attitude angles, the system can be used as a gyro compass and navigation system for ship guidance as well as for a diverse range of high-precision broad bandwidth stabilisation tasks.
Short alignment times and ease of operation are key features. The system has full autonomous operating capability. It can also be operated with journey log support - EM log or DVL - or with position and a journey log by GNSS, and these log support sensors can also be installed at remote positions. The lever arms on these sensors or antennas are compensated accordingly. Equally, the output data can be projected to any desired remote reference point.
The LFK-150 constitutes a fully viable replacement for our digital LSR-85 systems, in operation around the world but no longer in production. Compatibility with the LSR-85 comprises installation as well the electrical interfaces, the connectors and the data logs.
Typical fields of application
- Gyro compass and navigation system for smaller vessels
- Heading-attitude reference for weapons and antennas on every size of ship
- Backup navigation system for submarines
- With the shock-absorbing mounting plate, the system can also be used for mine-hunters
