An '''attitude and heading reference system''' ('''AHRS''') consists of sensors on three axes that provide [[Aircraft attitude|attitude]] information for aircraft, including roll, [[Pitch (aviation)|pitch]] and [[Yaw angle|yaw]]. These are sometimes referred to as '''MARG''' (Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://projectproto.blogspot.de/2011/02/marg-sensors-bluetooth.html|title = MARG sensors + Bluetooth|date = 3 February 2011}}</ref> sensors and consist of either solid-state or [[microelectromechanical systems]] (MEMS) [[gyroscopes]], [[accelerometers]] and [[magnetometers]]. They are designed to replace traditional mechanical [[gyroscopic]] [[flight instruments]]. <br />
<br />
The key difference between an [[inertial measurement unit]] (IMU) and an AHRS is the addition of an on-board processing system in an AHRS, which provides attitude and heading information. This is in contrast to an IMU, which just delivers sensor data to an additional device that computes attitude and heading. With [[sensor fusion]], drift from the gyroscopes integration is compensated for by reference vectors, namely gravity, and the earth magnetic field.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.xsens.com/tags/ahrs/|title=AHRS Attitude Heading Reference System|website=Xsens 3D motion tracking|language=en-US|access-date=2019-01-22}}</ref> This results in a drift-free orientation, making an AHRS a more cost effective solution than conventional high-grade IMUs ([[Inertial measurement unit|Inertial Measurement Units]]) that only integrate gyroscopes and rely on a very high bias stability of the gyroscopes.<br />
In addition to attitude determination an AHRS may also form part of an [[inertial navigation system]]. <br />
<br />
A form of non-linear estimation such as an [[Extended Kalman filter]] is typically used to compute the solution from these multiple sources.<ref>[http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/OpenPilot+Documentation#OpenPilot AHRS - OpenPilot Project<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812032846/http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/OpenPilot%2BDocumentation |date=August 12, 2011 }}</ref><br />

AHRS have proven themselves to be highly reliable and are in common use in commercial and business aircraft. AHRS are typically integrated with [[electronic flight instrument system]]s (EFIS) which are the central part of so-called [[glass cockpit]]s, to form the primary flight display. AHRS can be combined with [[air data computers]] to form an "air data, attitude and heading reference system" (ADAHRS), which provide additional information such as airspeed, altitude and outside air temperature.<br />
