What's next for the Pentagon after the Replicator programme?
Although the Replicator initiative has made several accomplishments, there are still multiple gaps to plug across the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its services.
Rockwell to provide sensor for FT-200FH
Rockwell Collins has been contracted by FT Sistemas to provide its micro inertial navigation sensor (INS) for the latter's new FT-200FH unmanned Category 2 helicopter, it announced on 30 March.
The micro INS is an advanced INS/GPS featuring an integrated magnetometer and air data system that provides complete and accurate platform state data. The micro INS comes with an internal disk-on-chip for extended data logging and claims to meet demanding requirements for humidity, temperature, vibration and shock.
The micro INS uses micro electromechanical systems sensors, including air data pressure sensors, magnetometer, rate gyros, accelerometers as well as wide area augmentation system-enabled GPS receiver.
Nei Brasil, chief executive officer, FT Sistemas, said: ‘Rockwell Collins has been a valued partner throughout the last ten years, and we're proud to have them working with us in a new project. It is great to have a partner that brings great technology and local support to better serve our needs.’
Marcelo Vaz, managing director, Rockwell Collins do Brasil, said: ‘This contract is another step in our long lasting relationship with FT Sistemas as we provide advanced technology to this brand new unmanned aerial vehicle.’
