500 into Most Challenging Aircraft Installations

Crossbow Technology, Inc. (www.xbow.com), the leading provider of inertial systems to the Avionics market announced the release of its next generation 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 with the remote magnetometer capability. CRM500 Remote Magnetometer extends the use of the highly successful AHRS500 into the most challenging aircraft installations. CRM500 is FAA certified for TSO (Time Sharing Option) Software that provides interactive communications for IBM's MVS operating system. It allows a user or programmer to launch an application from a terminal and interactively work with it. The TSO counterpart in VM is called CMS.  C6d with AHRS500 and is already in production.

The highly integrated AHRS500 is being widely deployed in multiple avionics applications. As we deployed AHRS500 in multiple aircrafts, we realized that in some fixed wing and helicopter applications, it was specifically beneficial to have the magnetometer separated from the main unit to enable reliable performance. The unit is ideal for installation in aircraft tail or wing. CRM500 comes in multiple form factors and configurations to enable easy "plug n play" upgrades from the existing Floated Flux Gate sensor systems.

"We are excited about the launch of the next generation AHRS system. It will widely extend the aircraft where Crossbow's state-of-the-art electronic MEMS sensor technology is deployed," said Mike Horton, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of Crossbow Technology. "It continues to demonstrate our commitment to innovation and establishing leadership in the avionics sensors market."

 AHRS500GA is a high performance, solid-state attitude and heading reference system intended for general aviation aircraft. This high reliability inertial system provides attitude and heading measurement with static and dynamic accuracy superior to traditional spinning mass vertical and directional gyros. Crossbow is the first to offer the General Aviation pilot the reliability of solid-state MEMS sensors in a low cost AHRS that meets all the FAA TSO certification requirements. The AHRS500 is designed for the future and has passed the tough new multiple lightning strike test as part of its qualification testing. This makes it ideal for the new generation of panels.

Training Seminar on MEMS-based AHRS

Crossbow Technology is also offering a training seminar and workshop on the evolution of the gyro and AHRS technology from vacuum and electric gyros to MEMS-based solid state AHRS at the AEA AEA Atomic Energy Authority
