OVERVIEW

VecTrax-10 is a high-accuracy, cost-effective, three-dimensional orientation / compass system which can be used to track any moving platform/vehicle. VecTrax-10 combines the absolute DC stability of a single-baseline GPS carrier phase system with MEMS inertial sensors to provide high accuracy, high frequency real-time attitude solution.

VecTrax-10 outputs data set include:

• Inertial Acceleration (X, Y, Z)
• Inertial Angular Rates (P, Q, R)
• GPS Time, Position and Velocity
• Attitude (Roll, Pitch, Yaw [Heading])

All sensor data can be stored to a USB flash memory drive inserted in the integrated USB port and then post-processed to generate higher accuracy, higher frequency attitude solution.

Applications include:

• Inexpensive Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) for Airborne Systems
• Positioning of Airborne Camera and LIDAR Systems
• Land Vehicle Navigation
• Shipboard Navigation
• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Navigation

VecTrax-10 can be integrated with any Aventech Air Data System (ARIM200, ARIM310) to provide real-time, airborne meteorology including three-dimensional winds, temperature, relative humidiy, and turbulance. Real-time data broadcast available via RS-232 or Control Area Network (CAN) interfaces. VecTrax-10 has stand-alone operation capability with optional display module running Aventech Vectrax firmware.
