have the valuable opportunity of seeing the advanced MK31 inertial navigation
system from Teledyne TSS on stand N205c.
The MK31 has been developed to provide accurate heading, attitude
and inertial positioning data for a wide range of naval vessels. It
incorporates state-of-the-art ring laser gyros to combine positioning
accuracy with proven dependability. This makes it ideal for use aboard
high performance warships needing a cost effective and reliable system
for accurate navigation and for the control of radar, weapon and satellite
systems. |

With IMO
certification for high speed craft, frigates, corvettes, patrol vessels
and submarines are all among the category of vessel that will benefit
from this dependable and easy to use instrument. The INS is capable
of full alignment in less than 15 minutes after when it is able to provide
highly accurate heave roll and pitch data in extreme sea conditions.
This makes it the ideal choice for vessels that are required to provide
a rapid response to changing scenarios. It offers no limitations on
motion as it can be rotated a full 360° in any orientation. The
Mk 31 is capable of handling dynamic turn rates of up to 200° per
second and can maintain its output of dependable and accurate data in
the most extreme situations.
The MK31 is a compact unit capable of easy installation and operation
and uses a simple CDU menu structure that allows easy configuration
and diagnostics. The solid state sensing technology makes the MK31 maintenance
free and also gives it a high mean time before failure (MTBF). This
is further enhanced by its rapid repair facility which enables it to
maintain a high level of operational readiness.
Manufactured in the UK by Teledyne TSS, the MK31 INS brings the benefits
that come from a company with a reputation for dependable products and
a history of supplying fine instruments to the world’s navies
for over 100 years. |
