The gyrocompass calculation produces readings in real time for heading, roll and pitch of the unit/vessel. These values, due to the high precision of the sensing elements used, can produce a highly accurate solution for each rotation in the x, y and z axis of the AHRS unit.

Lodestar also applies a heave algorithm to the vertical motion of the unit resulting in a robust heave measurement solution. Therefore, the Lodestar product is suitable for any application that requires the accurate measurement of heading, heave, roll and pitch in a dynamic environment.

In most applications the Lodestar is an ideal replacement for the motion sensor and gyrocompass package, due to its dynamic capability and fast spin-up time.

Compatible with all Sonardyne LBL and USBL products, as well as additional applications in the offshore and survey marketplace.
