Apogee-E Versatile Inertial Navigation System

Apogee-E belongs to the Apogee family of high-performance, MEMS-based inertial systems, delivering reliable orientation and navigation in a compact, cost-efficient package. This model functions as an Inertial Navigation System (INS), providing precise orientation even in dynamic environments, along with heave, surge, and sway measurements. It can be integrated with any survey-grade GNSS receiver for navigation, as well as additional aiding sensors such as an odometer or Doppler Velocity Log (DVL).

Positioning with an External GNSS receiver

The Apogee-E connects to any survey grade GPS/GNSS receiver to provide navigation data. GNSS information is fused in real-time with inertial data to provide the best performance. It features a unique GNSS error model to take into account every receiver specific behaviours.

Positioning with a SplitBox GNSS

The SplitBox GNSS integrates the latest generation tri-frequency GNSS receiver that supports RTK and Precise Point Positioning (Marinestar, TerraStar, Veripos, OmniSTAR, etc.). It also provides raw data for Post-Processing. The SplitBox GNSS embeds a Dual Antenna receiver for highly accurate and robust heading in every dynamic conditions.

Extensive Heave Calculation

The Apogee provides a real-time heave accurate to 5 cm. For more simplicity, the user doesn’t have to enter the wave frequency; the Apogee automatically detects it and constantly adjusts to it.

Apogee comes also with a unique delayed heave feature with no additional software nor user action. This specific algorithm allows a more extensive calculation, resulting in a heave accurate to 2 cm displayed in real-time with a little delay.

The ITAR Free Apogee-E is the most accurate and versatile INS based on the robust and cost-effective MEMS technology.
