2023 brought big changes at Gladiator Technologies. We moved to a new 25,000 square foot facility that has given us needed space for our growing team, new equipment and increased production capacity.
Thankfully, we didn’t have to move far! Our new office was across the street and allowed for a smooth transition of our production line.

Gladiator Technologies has been awarded a multi-year contract by Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control to supply the G300D gyroscope for the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM®) program. Deliveries will begin in 2023 and extend into 2026..
Effective against high-value, well-fortified targets, JASSM is integrated on the U.S. Air Force’s B-1B, B-2, B-52, F-16 and F-15E. The B-1B also carries JASSM-ER. Internationally, JASSM is carried on the F/A-18A/B and the F-18C/D aircraft. (Photo: Lockheed Martin)
Gladiator Technologies’ G300D Gyroscope has been chosen to replace a Dynamically Tuned Gyroscope facing obsolescence. Gladiator’s Three Axis MEMS Gyroscope features ultra-low noise sensors, VELOX® High Speed Processing and is designed in a compact form factor ideal for gimbal stabilization.
Armed with a penetrating blast-fragmentation warhead, JASSM and JASSM-Extended Range (ER) can be used in all weather conditions. They share the same powerful capabilities and stealth characteristics, though JASSM-ER has greater than 500 nmi. In addition to the enhanced digital anti-jam GPS receiver, these highly accurate cruise missiles also employ an infrared seeker to dial into specific points on targets.

“The success of the mission is what we think about every day, which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the JASSM program team, including its supplier partners. Gladiator Technologies provides the continued technologies needed to support the delivery of these crucial systems that keep our warfighters safe.”
– Scott Redmerski – JASSM Program Director, Lockheed Martin
Gladiator Technologies’ G300D is a commercial three-axis MEMS gyroscope designed for precision stabilization. The gyroscope is enabled with repeatable low noise sensors and VELOX®, a high speed signal processing technology that enables customers to transition from legacy analog sensors to a highly configurable digital product.

Gladiator Technologies has been awarded a multi-year contract in support of the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Program. Developed in transatlantic cooperation by Germany and the U.S., RAM is manufactured and marketed by the industrial partners RAM-System GmbH – a joint venture of Diehl Defence and MBDA Deutschland – and Raytheon Missiles & Defense. Gladiator Technologies’ LandMark™ IMU has been selected for the RAM’s next-generation Block 2B upgrade and will be supplied to support Full Rate Production beginning in 2023.

RAM is a shipboard defense system against approaching anti-ship missiles, aircraft, helicopters and vessels. The weapon system stands out due to its high firepower and short reaction times. The missile autonomously guides itself into the target by means of its dual-mode (radar and infrared) seeker.
The LandMark™ IMU is a high-performance MEMS IMU that is less than 0.7 cubic inches, features low noise gyroscopes and accelerometers, high dynamic measurement ranges and Gladiator’s proprietary VELOX™ Processing that enables firmware configuration, low phase delay and high output rates. The LandMark™ IMU is uniquely configured for high dynamic environments including high shock and vibration.

“The qualification demands on this program were extremely challenging and after successfully meeting the performance requirements we are thrilled to be awarded a contract to begin delivering our LandMark™ IMU in support of this program for the US Navy and German Navy. Our inertial sensors continue to provide highly capable performance and value to customers seeking to achieve both technical upgrades and value engineering.”
– Eric Yates, VP of Business Development.

We will be showcasing some of our newest, cutting edge inertial sensors in Monterey, California, April 24-27, 2023. Gladiator Technologies specializes in providing customers with technical solutions that excel in higher bandwidth, low noise, low data latency, and steady in-run bias in an excellent SWaP-C form factor. Stop by our booth for more information and demonstrations of products in action.
PLANS (Position Location and Navigation Symposium) is a biennial conference co‐sponsored by the IEEE, AESS and ION with a technical program that includes an emphasis on commercial inertial navigation. A commercial exhibit and pre-conference tutorials is held in conjunction with the conference.
In the PLANS 2023 Exhibit Hall, will be proudly displaying the latest technologies, proven solutions and forward-thinking ideas to professionals gathered for the event.
| Gladiator Technologies will be exhibiting at the Institute of Navigation’s GNSS+ Conference, 2022. Taking place September 19-23 at the Hyatt Regency Denver in the Colorado Convention Center, in Denver, Colorado. ION GNSS is the world’s largest international technical meeting and showcase of GNSS and related technology, products and services. Making this a great opportunity to meet our team and learn about our selection of low noise, high speed MEMS inertial sensors. Please visit us at exhibit booth 117 or schedule a meeting with a member of our team. You can also take a preview by visiting our online exhibitor profile at: https://www.ion.org/JNC/exhibitor-directory.cfm?exhibitID=2431 |
Gladiator Technologies will be exhibiting at the Institute of Navigation’s (ION) Joint Navigation Conference (JNC) 2022. Sponsored by the Military Division of the Institute of Navigation (ION), JNC is the largest U.S. military Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) conference of the year, with joint service and government participation.
It’s one of the best opportunities to meet our team and learn about why Gladiator’s selection of MEMS Inertial Sensors are becoming the premier sensors of choice for remote navigation, stabilization, and guidance applications. JNC 2022 will be held June 6-9 at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, California.

Transition from AS9100C to AS9100D Successfully Completed
Gladiator Technologies is pleased to announce that we have achieved third-party certification to AS9100D.
The certification applies to all design, distribution, manufacturing and logistics activities at Gladiator Technologies.
The company’s previous certification was to AS9100C. The AS9100D standard is based on ISO 9001 but expands
on that standard for the specific needs of the aerospace industry. Currently, only 115 companies in Washington State
have successfully transitioned to AS9100D (source http://www.iaqg.org)
“The transition to a process-based Quality Management System took us to the next level in how we manage
quality” commented Bob Bishop, Director of Quality. “With process ownership now firmly established, we will
benefit from an even more efficient and effective management of the QMS. Employees are more engaged in the
quality functions than ever before. The added value of key process indicators provides our management a visual
indication of effectiveness for each core process.”
AS9100D benefits include a focus on product safety, provisions for counterfeit parts prevention and an emphasis on
managing risk in all processes. Gladiator Technologies’ implementation included training for all employees as
well as internal audits to ensure understanding and compliance ahead of the third-party audit.
“LKD Aerospace’s Quality Management System also covers Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 21,
sub part K. Working with Seattle MIDO, the FAA approval of the necessary changes made to meet the
transition to AS9100D was achieved without impact to our tight schedule,” stated Bishop.
The AS9100D certificate is posted on websites http://www.Lkdaerospace.com and
https://f11.7cd.myftpupload.com. Evidence of certification is also available on http://www.iaqg.org. The
transition from AS9100C to AS9110D included a change in registrars from DQS to ASACB. LKD has worked
for many years with ASA-100 on distribution certification and is pleased to extend the relationship to our
AS9100D certification.
Meet Mark and Avi at the Military & Aviation Exhibition March 13, 2018 to discuss the new SX Series of IMU’s, gyros and accelerometers. You can schedule a meeting at sales@gladiatortechnologies.com or avi@amironic.co.il. Click here for more information.
