AeroNav GPS
AeroNav GPS is an entrance level device for mission navigation and camera control based on c/a coded L1 smoothed GPS receivers that support refresh rates of 10 Hz. This enables precise navigation for accurate aerial imaging. A bi-directional RS232 communication with AeroTopoL FMS supports camera release and camera event management:- Release of an aerial camera using electronic switch (potential free)
- Determining the event signal of the camera on an open collector
- Event-based positioning with a 1/100-sec accuracy
Specifications
Receiver type: L1,C/A code, with carrier phase smoothingChannels: Two 12 channel, parallel tracking

AeroNav Vector
In addition to the GPS, AeroNav Vector includes a high quality GPS Vector board that enables true-heading determination of the aircraft at a 10 Hz refresh rate:- Release of an aerial camera using electronic switch (potential free)
- Determining the event signal of the camera on an open collector
- Event-based positioning with a 1/100-sec accuracy
Specifications
Dual-GPS receiver using 2 boards and 2 antennas for the True-Heading determination in WGS84. This is done by analysing the L1-phase while predefining the antenna separation.Update Rate: 10 Hz, (optional: 20 Hz )
Heading accuracy: <0.4 º rms @0.5m antenna separation
<0.2 º rms @1.0m antenna separation
<0.10 º rms @2.0m antenna separation
Pitch/roll accuracy: <1 ° rms
Rate of turn: 90 º/s max.
Start-up time: <60 s typical
Heading fix: <20 s
Tilt Sensor: Assists in fast start-up of RTK solution
Gyro: Single axis gyro provides reliable <1 º heading for periods up to 3 min. if loss of GPS
lock occurs

AeroNav INS
- Release of an aerial camera using electronic switch (potential free)
- Determining the event signal of the camera on an open collector
- Event-based positioning with a 1/100-sec accuracy
AeroMCC
AeroMMC is a patented multi-camera interface that can trigger up to 5 cameras simultaneously by galvanic separation or sequentially by 200 or 400 msec delay. Thus, a single port GNSS event can be used to detect the projection centers of each camera.- Release of up to 5 aerial cameras using electronic switch (potential free)
- Translating a serial command into a trigger signal for each or all cameras
- Synchroneous or sequential triggering of the cameras with 200 or 400 msec delay
- Equally, single event ports can be used to capture the camera signals
- Enables a mix of various GNSS receivers with your camera and AeroTopoL or other FMS
