Inertial Systems
Crossbow was founded in 1995 to exploit MEMS inertial sensors. Notable past products include the AHRS500GA, used in the FAA-sponsored Capstone program. The AHRS500GA was the first stand-alone, completely solid-state FAA certified AHRS system. A follow-on product, the AHRS510GA is designed into the Eclipse Aviation Very Light Jet, the Eclipse 500. Crossbow nolonger provides this product.
Current Crossbow products include the CTXD02 Digital Inclinometer, VG700 Vertical Gyro and GNAV540 INS/GPS GN&Cunit. These products are used on multiple manned and unmanned airborne, marine and ground platforms such as the Hunter RQ-5A Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, ITAS and LRAS targeting systems.

Famous quotes containing the word systems:
“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
