Applanix APX-18 UAV

More than Just an IMU, A Complete Soultuion

The Trimble APX-18 UAV is an OEM GNSS-inertial solution with dual GNSS antenna input, designed to georeference LiDAR and other imaging data when collected from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) at low speeds or when hovering.

Description

Comprised of a small single OEM board containing a precision GNSS receiver with two antenna heading and inertial sensor components plus POSPac UAV Differential GNSS-inertial office software, the Trimble APX-18 UAV produces a highly accurate position and orientation solution for directly georeferencing LiDAR point clouds and imagery.
