Description

Comprised of small, low power, precision GNSS and inertial hardware components and POSPac UAV post-mission Differential GNSS-Inertial office software, the APX-20 UAV eliminates the need to survey extensive Ground Control Points (GCP’s), and reduces the amount of sidelap required to be flown per flight. the APX-20 UAV automatically supports integration on gimballed platforms without requiring an external interface to an autopilot or the mount itself.

Typical application

Direct Georeferencing of airborne sensor data collected from a UAV. Includes Orthophoto production, Topographical Mapping, Digital Terrain Model generation, Reconnaissance, Surveillance.

Distinguishable features

The innovative APX-20 UAV features a precision, survey gradeGNSS receiver and dual inertial measurement units; one embedded onto the GNSS-inertial board and one as an external unit mounted on the sensor to be georeferenced. With this feature, the APX-20 UAV automatically supports integration on gimballed platforms without requiring an external interface to an autopilot or the mount itself.
