Ermos

Earth Rate Measurement and Orientation Sensor

ERMOS is a revolutionary new GYRO COMPASS orientation sensor module for Instro’s range of Target Acquisition Systems. Operated in conjunction with Instro’s Thor goniometer, the gyro compass module is a self-contained detachable unit providing a highly accurate Azimuth Reference as part of Target Acquisition System deployment.

Optimised for use by dismounted forces where the physical size and weight of equipment is a critical consideration, the ERMOS gyro compass module is compact and can be held comfortably in the palm of a hand. Solid state technology and rugged all-metal housing ensure long service life and reliability in the field.

The ERMOS gyro compass sensor module features a Smart Interface for all electrical connections requiring only the execution of a simple procedure by the operator during deployment to provide an accurate azimuth heading relative to True North.

Other Instro north finding modules available are the Solar compass, Samos and the digital magnetic compass, Mamos.
