Results for tag: "Inertial Reference System"

The Inertial Reference System (IRS) market within the context of Avionics is a highly specialized sector of the aerospace industry. It is composed of companies that design, manufacture, and supply inertial navigation systems, inertial measurement units, and other related components. These systems are used in a variety of applications, including aircraft navigation, guidance, and control. IRS systems are typically composed of three main components: accelerometers, gyroscopes, and a central processing unit. The accelerometers measure linear acceleration, while the gyroscopes measure angular velocity. The central processing unit then combines the data from the accelerometers and gyroscopes to calculate the aircraft's position, velocity, and attitude. The IRS market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a wide range of products and services. Some of the major players in the market include Honeywell, Northrop Grumman, Thales Group, Rockwell Collins, and Safran. Show Less Read more
