Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) with anti-jam
Honeywell’s Embedded Global Positioning System Inertial Navigation Systems (EGIs), in production since the mid-1990s, have reached over 60,000 units delivered. These systems combine high flexibility with stringent military and civil interoperability requirements, boasting a robust performance across navigation, pointing, stabilization, and flight control applications.
EGI Models and Applications:
• H-764: Used in most military aircraft, maintaining commonality with legacy systems via a larger chassis.
• FALCN: Offers the capabilities of the H-764 in a more compact package.
System Capabilities:
• Self-contained Navigation: Provides linear/angular acceleration, velocity, position, attitude, azimuth, headings, altitude, body rates, time tags, and synchronized UTC time.
• Interoperability and Certifications: Complies with civil certifications including DO-178 and DO-254, facilitating easier integration for ADS-B, RNP/RNAV, WAAS, and more.
• Integration Options: Supports Radar Altimeter and Multi Mode Receiver, available with SAASM, SPS, MCODE, WAAS, and dGPS for 1m horizontal and 1.5m vertical accuracy.
Enhanced Features:
• Interfaces: Includes Dual 1553, ARINC 429, RS-422, Dual/Quad Ethernet, and Synchro/Discrete (ARINC 704).
• Advanced GPS Anti-Jam: Compatible with systems from Cobham DACU, IAI ADA, and Lockheed Martin GSTAR, enhancing reliability under jamming conditions.
Operational Efficiency:
• Power and Reliability: Consumes 35-60 watts with a mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 10,000 hours, and up to 25,000 hours in specific applications.
• High-Performance Gyro: Features the GG1320 Ring Laser Gyro with 450,000 hours MTBF and over 4 billion accumulated flight hours.
Certifications and Mandates:
• Supports CNS/ATM mandates including ADS-B as a blended position source with MSO-C145 certification, autonomous LPV, RNP/RNAV, WAAS, and EGNOS.
Alignment Modes:
Include gyrocompass, in-flight alignment, ship alignment (SINS/AR-57 and in motion), and stored heading alignment, providing flexibility across various operational scenarios.
