Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 - 23:00 This order brings total HarmoLign orders well past $6 million US and is another confirmation of the system’s capability to meet the tough operational and life-cycle cost requirements of the customers. The HarmoLign system was originally developed under contract with BAE Systems. The system is based on Metronor’s patented electro-optical technology, and has been designed to provide the most flexible, capable, and affordable harmonization system available in the market. Providing on-screen type-specific graphical operator guidance—eliminating the need for operator training—and requiring no scheduled maintenance or calibration, the system has very low life-cycle costs. Although the system shares key technology with Metronor’s proven range of industrial geometry measurement systems, the Harmolign system has been engineered from the ground up to meet all applicable military standards and requirements. The system can readily and affordably be adapted to a very wide range of weapon system platforms, as well as for alignment of civil aviation sensors/systems. Although originally developed for measurement of roll-, pitch-, and yaw-offsets only, the system can also be used for accurate determination of position. As such the system provides full six degrees of freedom (6DOF) capability, applicable for alignment/harmonization of optical helmet tracker systems and other weapon system sensors requiring 6DOF alignments. “The recent order is another proof that Metronor’s Harmolign system has become the preferred boresight system for BAE Systems’ Hawk series aircraft. This order also clearly indicates that HarmoLign is a cost-effective solution also when it comes to replacing existing legacy boresight systems around the world,” states Errol Henriksen, vice president of Metronor’s Military Systems Business Unit. “Together with the ongoing development of a HarmoLign system for 6DOF alignment of the Gripen helmet tracker system and promising future HarmoLign prospects, both in the military and civilian aviation sectors, this recent contract demonstrates the competitiveness and versatility of our HarmoLign technology,” Henriksen adds.
