Trimble PX-1 RTX.
The Trimble PX-1 RTX is a compact positioning solution that integrates triple-frequency multi-constellation GNSS technology with inertial sensing capabilities, delivering high-accuracy true heading in various environments.Utilizing Applanix IN-Fusion multi-sensor fusion technology and Trimble CenterPoint RTX Correction services, it achieves centimeter-level positioning accuracy without requiring base stations.
This lightweight system provides continuous, high-precision orientation and positioning data essential for autonomous drone operations, including takeoff, landing, and navigation.With advanced multipath mitigation and protection against jamming and spoofing, it ensures the highest safety standards for the evolving commercial drone sector.
Trimble APX RTX
Trimble APX RTX.
The Trimble APX RTX is a compact board-level solution for direct georeferencing, enabling drone manufacturers and payload integrators to achieve centimeter-level mapping accuracy. It can receive real-time CenterPoint RTX correction services via satellite or cellular networks, eliminating the need for base stations, and employs state-of-the-art MEMS inertial sensors for precise roll, pitch, and heading measurements.
The APX RTX is available in four models tailored for various applications:
- APX-15 RTX: Entry-level model featuring onboard IMU-103 for low-altitude and line-of-sight flights.
- APX-20 RTX: Equipped with onboard IMU-104, ideal for higher-altitude flights and low-noise mapping sensors.
- APX-30 RTX: Combines onboard IMU-104 with external IMU-93 for enhanced orientation performance on higher-altitude and extended BVLOS flights.
- APX-50 RTX: Integrates onboard IMU-104 with external IMU-95, enabling UAVs to replace traditional crewed flights at high altitudes over long distances.
Applanix POS LV
Applanix POS LV.
Applanix POS LV is a complete positioning and orientation system designed for UGVs (unmanned ground vehicles) and land-based autonomous vehicles operating in challenging GNSS environments. It utilizes survey-grade GNSS hardware and advanced IMU technology to provide low-latency, repeatable real-time data, allowing raw GNSS data from as few as one satellite to be processed directly for accurate positioning, even during periods of limited GNSS reception.
In addition to the standard model, Applanix POS LV is offered in two variants:
- Applanix POS LVX – a ruggedized small form factor solution tailored for smaller autonomous vehicles and mobile mapping platforms.
- Trimble RT200 – features a high-G IMU for superior accuracy and performance in demanding and dynamic environments.
Applanix POS MV
Applanix POS MV.
Applanix POS MV is a comprehensive six degree-of-freedom position and orientation solution that provides high-accuracy data on position, heading, attitude, heave, and velocity for USVs (uncrewed surface vessels) and marine remote sensing equipment. By integrating precise inertial data with signals from as few as one GNSS satellite,the system generates robust and continuous outputs,even when GNSS signals are weak or unavailable.
This system is ideal for a variety of high-precision marine applications, including hydrographic seafloor and coastal mapping, harbor mapping, and structural surveys. It is designed to work with multibeam sonar systems, ensuring compliance with IHO standards for sonar swath widths exceeding ± 75 degrees under all dynamic conditions.
The system is available in four configurations:
- Applanix POS MV SurfMaster / SurfMaster One – an entry-level solution for small unmanned marine platforms.
- Applanix POS MV WaveMaster II & OceanMaster – enhanced performance for increasingly challenging conditions.
- Applanix POS MV Elite – delivers the highest performance level available in the industry.
