LN-100G Inertial Navigation System with Embedded GPS
The LN-100G is ideally suited for use as a SAR, E/O reference, sensor stabilization or underwater system due to the absence of acoustic noise. LN-100G Advantages
By combining the Zero-lock™ Laser Gyro (ZLG™) with the latest technology, electronics, and GPS, the LN-100G represents the highest quality INS/GPS in the world.
The LN-100G optimally combines INS and GPS features to provide a tightly integrated solution for enhanced position, velocity, attitude, and pointing performance, as well as improved GPS acquisition and anti-jam capabilities.
The LN-100G provides three simultaneous navigation solutions: hybrid GPS/INS, Free-Inertial, and GPS-Only. The processing heart of the LN-100G, and the entire LN-100 product line, is the 32-bit PowerPC™ 603e microprocessor with Ada software.
The LN-100G has options for several different GPS receivers including P(Y) code, C/A code, RF, and IF. There are also two spare card slots for the addition of analog I/O modules, ARINC interfaces, and other expansion modules.

LN-100G Applications
The LN-100G combines the high reliability and performance of the LN-100, using nondithered laser gyros with the latest GPS receiver technology.The LN-100 product line uses common hardware and software elements to attain economies of scale from high-rate production.
The LN-100G, with an embedded GPS receiver, gained early acceptance by the U.S. Navy for the T-45A Cockpit 21 program, by the EGI tri-service program for the F/A-18 and EA-6B, and by the USAF for the F-22.The LN-100/LN-100G has now been selected by more than 70 customers including the United States Air Force, Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, in addition to over 25 international applications. These units are flying in various aircraft, UAVs, UUVs, launch vehicles, PODs, missiles, fighters, a variety of helicopters, and transport aircraft (i.e., C-130, P-3, C-295).
