Home > Inertial Systems > GNSS-Inertial OEM Positioning & Orientation Systems

The Trimble-Applanix AP series include embedded GNSS-Inertial OEM boards plus Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for continuous mobile positioning in poor signal environments and high-accuracy direct geo referencing of imaging sensors.
Featuring a high-performance precision GNSS receiver and the industry leading Applanix IN-Fusion™ GNSS-Inertial software running on a powerful, dedicated Inertial Engine (IE) board, the modular design of the AP ensures full, high-rate GNSS-inertial processing without sacrificing performance, and provides an upgrade path to next generation GNSS technology as it becomes available.

The AP series is excellent for precise positioning and orientation in 3-D.

Trimble/Applanix quality product line currently includes the Trimble AP10, AP15, AP20, AP40, AP50, AP60, AP+18 Air, AP+18 IE Air, AP+30 Air, AP+50 Air, AP+60 Air and the Applanix APX-15-EI UAV, APX-18UAV, APX-20UAV, APX-15UAV,POS -LV125, POS-MV and APX RTX .

On top of that our offering includes the POSPac MMS™ (Mobile Mapping Suite) 8 – Applanix’ next generation of industry leading GNSS-Aided Inertial post-processing software for georeferencing data collected from cameras, LIDARs, multi-beam sonars and other sensors on mobile platforms.

AP+ 18 Air

The Trimble AP+ 18 Air GNSS-inertial system is comprised of next-generation compact, low-power hardware, featuring dual embedded survey-grade GNSS chipsets, an onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU), and the all-new Applanix IN-Fusion+ GNSS-aided inertial firmware.

 

The AP+ Air models determine the accuracy of the product. While positioning accuracy remains the same across all products, the inertial sensors used dictate the orientation performance. The entry-level product in terms of accuracy is the AP+ 18. It is available in two forms: AP+ 18 using the onboard IMU, and the AP+18 EI using the onboard and external IMU. The models AP+ 30, AP+ 50, and AP+ 60 all use the same onboard IMU but different external IMU’s to achieve higher orientation accuracy. The AP+ Air product is highly configurable making it ideal for payload manufacturers.

Key Features:

  • Powerful low powered Single platform that can be used on manned platforms, yet small enough for use on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVS) which saves costs
  • Has the form of Trimble AP GNSS-Inertial Board Set plus inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
  • High-performance Direct Geo-referencing
  • Instant alignment through dual GNSS antenna heading
  • Survey-grade multi-frequency GNSS receiver and MEMS inertial components
  • Next generation Applanix IN-Fusion+ GNSS-Inertial Aided firmware
  • Onboard Internal IMU with optional Dual IMU support for simple gimbal mount
  • Supports RTK real-time position for precision landing applications
  • Supports all common RTK corrections such as CMR, CMR+, RTCM
  • Reduced SwaP (Size, Weight, and Power) 54% smaller footprint, 64% lighter,75% less power
  • Completely configurable, from entry-level UAV applications, all the way up to high accuracy solutions for high altitude LiDAR mapping
  • Fully supported by the Applanix POSPac MMS post-processing software
  • Supports Trimble Realtime an post-processing CenterPoint® RTX Corrections
  • No export permit required
