LN-260 Advanced Embedded INS/GPS
The LN-260 is a flight qualified operational Form and Fit replacement INS/GPS for numerous international and domestic Standard Navigation Unit (SNU) platforms.
The LN-260 is a Standard Navigation Unit (SNU) Form and Fit replacement Inertial Navigation Systems/Global Positioning System (INS/GPS) for aircraft. The LN-260 is a high performance, low cost INS/GPS that utilizes the state-of-the-art Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) based inertial navigation sensor assembly with 24 channel Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) GPS. The LN-260 sensor components offer the highest performance and reliability, lightest weight, lowest power INS/GPS available on the market. The non-dithered, low noise, FOG technology eliminates self-induced acceleration and velocity noise. This results in superior navigation and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) stabilization performance as well as the most accurate target location.
Northrop Grumman's proven and lightweight INS/GPS has several advantages over its competitors. Our fiber optic gyro (FOG) is developed from the latest, proven fiber optic technology and weighs less than 26lb (11.79kg). The LN-260 FOG is equipped with three independent navigation solutions: blended INS/GPS, INS only and GPS only. Our INS/GPS solution provides more accurate velocity measurements, superior anti-jamming capabilities and has been highly reliable on each of its military platforms.
