Germany’s Raytheon Anschütz launched a new generation, maintenance- free gyro compass. The Horizon MF is a strap-down compass system that uses hemispherical resonator gyros (HRG) to measure angular rates for heading calculation. The system provides the same advanced functions as standard gyro compasses, such as heading selection and monitoring, automatic switch-over functions, an independent transmitting magnetic compass and individual speed error correction, with a MTBF value of more than 100,000 hours.
