Fiber Optic Heading Reference
RUGGED ACCURACY AT WORK FOR TUNNEL GUIDANCE & CIVIL ENGINEERING STEERING APPLICATIONS
The CFA-100IC is a 3-axis FOG (fiber optic gyro) attitude and heading reference system and has been designed to provide a stable and accurate reference in harsh conditions, without the need for any external GPS signal.
Rugged simulation, lab, and field tests have been performed to verify these performance goals.
After the initial gyrocompassing alignment process the system gives continuous outputs of heading, roll and pitch. There is also the possibility to align during drilling (optional).
The product is currently available in two heading accuracy versions: 0.1° and 0.05°
