Attitude and Heading Reference Systems Market Expected To Create Lucrative Opportunities For The Global Market

Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) are multi-axis sensors which use inertial navigation for calculating the position and velocity of an aircraft, namely heading, altitude and yaw. It also outputs flight dynamics information to flight deck displays, flight controls, weather radar antenna platform and other aircraft systems. The sensors replace mechanical gyroscopic flight instruments providing superior reliability and preciseness. It features solid-state or MEMS gyrometer, accelerometers and magnetometers on all the three axes. It is basically a self-contained system and is a mixture of sensors in one package. It requires less power and less wiring. It is lighter in weight and possess a smaller footprint. AHRS provides heading and attitude information with greater accuracy and reliability. An AHRS provides 3D orientation by integrating gyroscopes and fusing this data with accelerometer data and magnetometer data. AHRS provides enriched performance over the existing vertical and directional gyros. A form of non-linear estimation such as an Extended Kalman filter is commonly used to compute the solution from these multiple sources. They are in common use in business and commercial aircraft.
