Shipping of the unique gyrocompass Horizon MF.

In July Marine Technics shipped a unique gyrocompass Horizon MF manufactured by Reython Anschütz.

The gyrocompass Horizon MF is maintenance free that constitutes its main advantage. The device uses so-called hemispherical resonator gyros (HRGs) to measure angular rates and accelerations in three axes. Based on these measurements heading as well as roll and pitch is calculated.

As a modular system, Horizon MF can be extended to a heading management system by using an operator unit and a distribution unit. Anschütz Standard 22 gyro compasses, satellite compasses and magnetic compasses can be integrated.
