AH-2100 Super Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS)

The AH-2100 Super Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) improves accuracy, provides greater safety and accommodates future growth as the communication, navigation, surveillance environment evolves. It is designed for growth and to be interchangeable with the LASEREF V Micro inertial reference system (IRS) and can be easily upgraded. You can reduce maintenance cost with 25,000 operating hours predicted reliability and eliminate the flux valve and compass calibration procedures.

Additional features include:

Automatic mode control eliminates the AHRS control panel, reducing pilot workload
Immune to local magnetic disturbances, solar storms and lightning
High accuracy heading and attitude information improves weather radar, enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), satellite communication, broadband datalink, displays and autopilot performance
Dynamic performance - 20 times better than other AHRS equipment
Eliminates low frequency wing rock
Eliminates external aiding sources (traffic advisory system, magnetic sensor, global positioning system) allowing greater dispatch performance
Built-in self-test with 99 percent coverage
Passive cooling system eliminates weight and cost of cooling fans and ARINC mounting trays

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
