Introducing Applanix POS MV: A Cutting-Edge Marine Positioning Solution

The applanix POS MV system provides a thorough six degrees-of-freedom solution for determining position and orientation. It offers precise data on location, heading, attitude, heave, and velocity, specifically designed for uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) and marine remote sensing technologies. By integrating high-quality inertial measurements with signals from as few as one GNSS satellite, this system ensures reliable and continuous data output, even in challenging environments with GNSS signal loss or notable multipath interference.

Versatile Applications in Marine Surveying

This advanced system is perfectly suited for a variety of high-precision marine tasks, such as hydrographic mapping of seafloors and coastlines, harbor surveys, and structural assessments of bridges. It is indeed compatible with multibeam sonar systems, meeting the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) standards for sonar swath widths exceeding ± 75 degrees, nonetheless of dynamic conditions.

Enhanced Data Logging and Post-Processing

Users can log raw GNSS and inertial data for subsequent analysis using Applanix’s POSPac MMS post-processing software. This feature substantially enhances accuracy and reliability, even in extreme operational scenarios.

Available Variants to Suit Diverse Needs

The Applanix POS MV system comes in four distinct models:

• Applanix POS MV SurfMaster / SurfMaster One – an entry-level option tailored for smaller unmanned marine platforms.
• Applanix POS MV WaveMaster II & OceanMaster – designed for superior performance in increasingly challenging conditions.
• Applanix POS MV elite – delivers the highest performance standards available in the industry.
