SPARTON CORPORATION 
By DE LEON SPRINGS, FL (October 24, 2012) - Sparton Corporation (NYSE: SPA) will feature AHRS-8, a highly advanced inertial sensor that enhances a best-in-class product line at the Society of Exploration Geophysicists Annual Meeting, booth #400, November 4-9, 2012 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The AHRS-8 is a MEMS-based (micro electro-mechanical systems) attitude heading reference system. Fully temperature compensated and individually calibrated over temperature, the AHRS-8 is the perfect navigation solution for challenging environments requiring the highest level of accuracy, such as in oil and gas exploration. AHRS-8 complements Sparton's full line of inertial sensor solutions designed specifically to meet systems designer's stringent requirements.
"Our AHRS-8 provides full in-sensor programmability via the NorthTek™ Development System and offers superior accuracy and stability at temperature extremes with our revolutionary AdaptNav II™ sensor fusion algorithm," said Jim Lackemacher, Vice President of Sparton Navigation & Exploration and Defense and Security divisions. "The AHRS-8 also provides revolutionary centripetal acceleration error correction that drives the highest level of accuracy in the most dynamic situations," he added.
