EXPLORE OUR RANGE

Maximise accuracy and mission time

For both remotely controlled and fully autonomous UAV surveys, finding a localisation solution that delivers powerful accuracy while offering the best size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). The ability to deliver powerful localisation even in areas where GNSS signal is patchy or poor enables you to deliver accurate survey data in a wide range of environments – a crucial differentiator if you’re conducting surveys for clients.

The OXTS solution for UAV mapping

  • Smooth, high-quality PNT data from ITAR-free hardware
    Our GNSS/INS devices use careful calibration, sophisticated sensor fusion and an advanced navigation engine to deliver highly reliable data in a variety of environments, with form factors suitable for mounting on drones.
  • UAV-specific capabilities
    Unlock specific features in your GNSS/INS such as advanced gx/ix processing, external data logging, and compatibility with our specialist georeferencing software.
  • Software to make your project easier
    As well as our free NAVsuite applications for configuring and monitoring your GNSS/INS, we have mapping-specific tools including OXTS Georeferencer and our boresight calibration tool.

GNSS/INS features for UAV mapping

 The following optional features are all included in the LiDAR mapping feature bundle: 

  • PTP and gPTP time synchronisation – Master and client functionality makes it easier to integrate your GNSS/INS into an existing payload.
  • Advanced gx/ix tight-coupling – Speeds up RTK reacquisition after transient but complete GNSS outage meaning more accurate position data for longer (see example below).
  • External file logging – log data to an external storage device for longer missions.
  • OXTS Georeferencer – use OXTS Georeferencer to quickly and easily georeference your point cloud data, and to calibrate your LiDAR and GNSS/INS to improve point cloud quality.
  • OXTS LIO – generate odometry data from your LiDAR scans to improve position accuracy, which in turn can be used to further improve point cloud georeferencing.

Tools for your project

01

OXTS Georeferencer

Quickly and easily combine localisation data from your GNSS/INS with raw LiDAR data to create georeferenced point clouds, and precisely calibrate your LiDAR and GNSS/INS for crystal clear point cloud data. 

02

LiDAR Boost

An advanced solution that uses data from any 32-laser, 360° LiDAR to compensate for missing or erroneous GNSS updates. Used in post-process, LiDAR Boost gives you better quality localisation data in GNSS-denied environments for georeferencing your survey data. 

03

NAVsuite

  1. Configure your OxTS GNSS/INS. 
  1. Monitor the navigation data from your GNSS/INS in real time.
