LASEREF VI Micro Inertial Reference Systems

LASEREF VI inertial reference unit (IRU) offers on-aircraft data load capability, HIGH Step II software for 100% availability of low required navigation performance authorized required (RNP AR) with integrity coasting, automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) compliance with civil certified global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver & automatic mode control with align-in-motion.

Our LASEREF VI is the smallest, lightest and lowest power IRU on the market. It is one-half-the-size, one-third-the-weight and requires one-third-the-power than the LASEREF IV. The system is available for rotorcraft and fixed-wing applications.

Other key elements include:

Automatic mode control logic and initialization
Optimal sensor performance to provide the best performance for high bandwidth SATCOM (e.g. JETWAVE SATCOM), SVS (Synthetic Vision System), CVS (Combined Vision System), and HUD (Heads Up Display)
Meets both fixed wing and rotary wing environmental and electromagnetic environments
Passively cooled - avoiding cost and space for cooling fans
On-aircraft data load capability
Honeywell's inertial GPS hybrid (HIGH) integrity coasting provides 100% availability of RNP AR navigation and can eliminate predictive receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) for non-precision GPS approaches
Installation configurable features such as lever arm compensations and selectable output filtering eases integration and installation into existing aircraft

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.
