GPS/GNSS is now a standard in marine survey and navigation, because it contributes to improving the overall quality, accuracy and productivity of these operations. Ashtech provides a wide range of professional products designed to meet the specific needs of your marine application.
The applications linked to marine surveying focus on a large number of constraints and special characteristics. Ashtech GPS/GNSS products serve to overcome the technical challenges inherent in these applications by providing cost-effective and accurate positioning.
Here are the products proposed by Ashtech to serve this application:
ProFlex 500 is a powerful GPS+GLONASS positioning solution that delivers state-of-the-art RTK in a rugged, highly integrated receiver. Its innovative design makes it the ideal solution for onboard system integration - it can be mounted easily on a ship or a vehicle for sea or land operations - and it is also a perfect backpack rover or base station solution for onshore surveying
ProFlex Lite is a powerful positioning solution that delivers state-of-the-art RTK features in a smart and rugged sensor. Designed for seamless integration, ProFlex Lite allows OEM and system integrators to rapidly integrate centimeter level positioning into their application.
ProFlex Lite Duo is a rugged dual GNSS board enclosure that delivers state-of-the-art RTK accuracy, including heading and relative positioning. It is a powerful cost-effective GNSS sensor designed for seamless onboard system integration.
The DG14™ sensor is a cost-effective, sub-meter GPS+SBAS receiver that can provide quick, high-accuracy RTK solutions using our BladeTM processing technology. The perfect sensor solution for high-end integration, DG14 incorporates signals from Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS), such as WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS. The 14-channel DG14 includes two SBAS channels, which can be configured as two additional GPS channels.
