POSPac Air 5.0

Applanix Corporation's recent release of POSPac Air 5.0 represents a huge leap in maximising data collection efficiencies when using Optech's industry-leading ALTMs (Airborne Terrain Laser Mapper), and ultimately increases return on investment (ROI).

POSPac Air 5.0 now incorporates GNSS network data and more tightly integrated inertial processing methods. This minimises the restrictions currently associated with airborne GNSS surveying requiring high accuracy solutions.

New additions to the software suite include Applanix SmartBase, a module that generates atmospheric corrections at the aircraft location from GNSS observables collected from public or private GNSS reference stations. When combined with data from the inertial measurement unit and Applanix' new IN-Fusion technology, it enables GNSS ambiguities and aircraft position and orientation to be solved simultaneously.

GNSS ambiguities are now maintained in memory during cycle slips or complete GPS outages, thereby enabling aircraft bank angles in excess of 40º. Users now have the ability to automatically access reference station data over the internet and generate a network using up to 50 reference stations at a time, reducing reference station infrastructure requirements.
