SENSORS
DTS ARS
Angular Rate Sensor
The DTS ARS angular rate sensor (also referred to as a gyroscopic sensor) was introduced in late 2006 and quickly became the industry favorite. The line continues to expand with new models, ranges and bandwidths to meet or exceed testing requirements for a variety of applications. The DTS ARS was developed with input from key clients including USCAR (United States Council for Automotive Research-GM, Ford, Chrysler), Toyota, Northrop Grumman and the U.S Air Force.
