  Attitude and Heading Reference Systems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AHRS differ from traditional inertial navigation systems by using magnetometer and/or GPS data to correct the raw gyroscopic data.
AHRS are typically integrated into Electronic Flight Information Systems (EFIS), which are the central part of so-called glass cockpits.
AHRS are often combined with air data computers to form an "air data, attitude and heading reference systems" (ADAHRS), which provide additional information such as airspeed, altitude and outside air temperature.

 An Old Workhorse Receives Yet another Makeover
These systems provided for basic attitude hold and two “coupled” modes, one for heading hold and the second was a baro altitude hold through the collective axis.
The aircraft attitude and heading information is now transmitted to the AFCS computers via the dual SAGEM attitude/heading reference systems (AHRS) with added inputs from the air data sensor, and dual magnetometers.
In earlier systems, the capacitance signal coming from the fuel probes was converted to direct current signal at the gauge readout in the cockpit.

 Attitude indicator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An attitude indicator (AI), aka gyro horizon or artificial horizon, is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the airplane relative to the ground.
Attitude indicators in aircraft work using a gyroscope to establish an inertial platform.
For this reason, some attitude indicators are fitted with a "cage," a device to restore the gyroscope to an erect position.

Pitch and roll data is required to assure the robot maintains a level orientation in transit and once it begins burying operations.
Watson Industries manufactures an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) that is perfectly suited for this highly technical application.

 Welcome to mapwriter.com - Information on Gps systems
Inertial systems have been used on commercial and military aircraft as primary navigation instruments for many years but these systems are very expensive and out of reach of most of the general aviation community.
It is a solid-state, six degree-of-freedom inertial sensing system using three orthogonally mounted, micromachined quartz gyroscopes, and three high-performance linear servo accelerometers in a small, self-contained package.
INS output errors also are influenced by uncertainties in initial conditions (position, velocity, and attitude) as these influence the integration of gyro and accelerometer data to yield the navigation outputs.

Presently, airport lighting systems provide the only means for aiding the pilot's transition from instrument to visual acquisition of the runway environment prior to landing the aircraft.
Due to the all-weather capability of the system and its ability to produce high quality radar images either as top view (mapping mode) or as pilot view (central perspective mode) the system is especially qualified for navigation support, autonomous landing approaches or taxi support on the ground.
While attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) based on high-performance inertial components exist, such systems are traditionally very expensive and inapplicable to price-sensitive applications/markets.
