Northrop Grumman Provides LCR-100 Attitude and Heading Reference System for Sikorsky Offshore Rig Approach Capability
Buckeburg, Germany (SPX) Jul 04, 2013
Northrop Grumman is supplying a modified LCR-100 Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) for the newly certified offshore rig approach feature on Sikorsky's S-92A helicopter. The automated rig approach capability assists offshore oil operators with approaching and landing on oil rigs and platforms by guiding the aircraft to location coordinates entered by the pilot. The system is expected to reduce cockpit workload and enable safer landings, especially in challenging weather and operati ... read more
