Lodestar – Attitude & Heading Reference System (Subsea)
Description
Lodestar is a solid state IMO
approved Attitude and Heading
Reference System (AHRS). The unit is
comprised of six sensing elements,
three Ring Laser Gyros (RLG) and
three linear accelerometers, running
a Sonardyne developed
gyrocompass algorithm.
Incorporating a rugged housing,
Lodestar AHRS can be supplied to
suit any depth of subsea application.
With a battery back up capability
supplied as standard, the unit is able
to continue to communicate attitude
during vehicle brown-outs. Pole
mounted applications can provide a
more accurate solution to the
multibeam or USBL operation.
The Lodestar AHRS utilizes a genuine
gyrocompassing algorithm capable
of precise heading, roll and pitch
estimation in dynamic conditions
without the need for external aiding
inputs or vessel manoeuvres.
Lodestar also applies a heave
algorithm to the vertical motion of the
unit resulting in a robust heave
measurement solution. Therefore, the
Lodestar product is suitable for any
application that requires the accurate
measurement of heading, heave, roll,
and pitch in a highly dynamic
environment.
Where high accuracy and a risk free
solution is required, the Lodestar
AHRS is an ideal replacement for the
motion sensor and gyrocompass
package, due to its dynamic
capability and fast spin up time.
The Sonardyne Lodestar has been
designed with reliability as a priority.
The unit comprises of high grade,
commercially available, IMU
components with a very high
meantime between failure (MTBF).
Lodestar is compatible with all
Sonardyne LBL and USBL products,
as well as multiple applications in the
offshore and survey marketplace.
