SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 4, 2012--
Sparton Corporation (NYSE: SPA) announced that its Navigation and
Exploration segment has introduced the cutting-edge Adaptnavinit.4th
NorthTek™ application that augments its gyro-enhanced digital compass,
the GEDC-6.
Sparton continues to meet the technical needs of the demanding
navigation sensor market by delivering the Adaptnavinit feature
enhancement for the GEDC-6. This application was developed to deliver
optimal results under varying environmental conditions. Adaptnavinit
compensates for magnetic material interference and other noisy
environments created by batteries, electric motors and current carrying
wires. Adaptnavinit allows users operating in noisy environments to
compensate for these effects by eliminating digital compass integration
errors in heading (yaw), pitch, and roll which appear to the user as
heading output drift.
“This advanced feature further differentiates our digital compass line
from others,” commented Jim Lackemacher, VP/GM of Sparton’s Defense &
Security Systems business unit. “By quickly reacting to our customer’s
needs, we have been able to enhance the GEDC-6 product in advance of our
next product, the AHRS-8, which will be released later this year. We
value the partnerships with our customers and will continue to invest in
the development of cutting-edge technology now and into the future.”
