Crossbow Technology Introduces AHC525 Attitude Heading Reference Card.OSHKOSH, Wis. -- Crossbow Technology, Inc., the leading developer of "Stand-Alone" FAA Certified MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. AHRS AHRS Attitude Heading Reference System AHRS Attitude and Heading Reference System AHRS Attempted Hours (educational transcript) AHRS Altitude Heading Reference System AHRS Army Human Resources System AHRS Automatic Heading Reference System , today announced a new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and "Single-Card" AHC AHC Appalachian Hardwood Center AHC American Heritage Center (University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY) AHC American Horse Council AHC Association for History and Computing AHC Australian Heritage Commission AHC Assault Helicopter Company 525 Attitude Heading Reference. The AHC525 "Level A certified" Attitude Heading Reference Card is a "first of its kind" high performance embedded AHRS specifically designed for integration within Glass Cockpit Systems, Flight Management Systems and Standby Attitude Indicators. "The AHC525 embedded AHRS is creating exciting new opportunities for avionics systems developers," said Mike Horton, President/CEO, Crossbow Technology. "By integrating the AHC525 inside the avionics system enclosure our customers are achieving significant reductions in overall cost, size, weight and power." Crossbow's AHC525 Attitude Heading Reference Card offers 0.5 deg rms accuracy, and meets the AHRS TSO performance requirements without external aiding. A flexible architecture includes expansion options that allow for customer specific features and/or interfaces. "Our years of AHRS design and manufacturing experience supporting the aircraft OEM and retrofit markets have enabled us to define the critical requirements leading to next generation AHRS solutions for the aviation industry," Horton said. "We are very pleased to be working with several major OEMs already."
