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

SAFELY IN
OPTIMUM POSITION

OUR NAVIGATION EXPERTISE MAKES US A STRONG AND INNOVATIVE PARTNER

Since it was founded, LITEF has been developing technologically challenging inertial solutions, complex and very robust products at the frontier of what is technologically feasible. We are able to measure every movement in space and to process that information digitally in space and to calculate the attitude of the system using these measured data. LITEF’s entire range of expertise in navigation is available in the INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS sector. The very high quality of our solutions is also based on the quality standards originated in our aviation and defence sectors. Furthermore, although we are part of a corporate group, we are still able to act as rapidly and flexibly as an SME. Also, through the provision of intensive personal support to our customers, we are able to develop and produce individual solutions that function reliably at system level. This enables us to achieve optimum benefits for our partners.

INNOVATIVE, PORTABLE GYROCOMPASS FOR HIGH-PRECISION ALIGNMENT

LiPAD®-100 works with high-precision fibre optic rate gyros and MEMS-based accelerometers. The attitude angles are propagated in real time and are displayed in an Android-based APP on an external display device. LiPAD-100® is also operated using this APP.

PORTABLE ALIGNMENT UNIT – LiPAD®-100

The LiPAD-100® portable alignment and measuring unit saves time and money. After a short alignment phase, it reliably provides data about the pitch angle, the angle of roll and the direction to the geographic North Pole even under dynamic conditions.

RAPIDLY IN SERVICE, EASY TO OPERATE

Whether machine alignment, geological measurements, condition monitoring, antenna alignments, underground and tunnel-building without GPS or even the angled alignment of a group of objects – the innovative LiPAD®-100 is also reliably available, even when available space is very limited.
