Northrop Grumman's LCR-100 attitude and heading reference
system, as well as the LCR-100N hybrid navigation unit, have been
chosen by Cessna Aircraft Company — a subsidiary of Textron
Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company — as the standard
option inertial products for this advanced platform. This equipment
provides critical navigation data to the autopilot and other key
systems which help achieve required availability, precision and
integrity.
Developed by Northrop Grumman's Germany-based navigation systems
subsidiary, Northrop Grumman LITEF, the LCR-100 and LCR-100N
consist of high-performance, fibre-optic gyroscope based inertial
measurement units and advanced microelectromechanical system triad
accelerometers.
The units feature gyro-compassing and hybrid navigation with
coasting capability, including ARINC outputs, which are essential
for precise Required Navigation Performance (RNP) and RNP with
approach authorization-required flight operations.
"The opportunity to be involved in the new long-range Citation
Longitude programme continues our valued, longstanding relationship
with Cessna Aircraft Company," said Eckehardt Keip, managing
director, Northrop Grumman LITEF. "Our products offer operators
valuable features that augment precision navigation operations,
increase safety margins and provide attractive operating cost
advantages."
This selection follows the successful introduction of the
LCR-100 and LCR-100N products on the Cessna Citation X+, Cessna
Citation Sovereign+ and Cessna Citation Latitude platforms. These
products are also fitted to numerous rotorcraft and fixed-wing
platforms by other leading airframe original equipment
manufacturers.
