Trimble Applanix POS AV
GNSS/INS systems for aerial mapping
The POS AV system, by Applanix, is designed for direct georeferencing of airborne sensor data, integrating precision GNSS with inertial technology. It enhances the efficiency, effectiveness and economy of geospatial projects. Supported by industry expertise and innovation, the Applanix POS AV is ideal for aerial cameras, scanning lasers, imaging sensors, synthetic aperture radar and LIDAR technology.

Elevate your aerial survey projects with Trimble Applanix POS AV. Experience unparalleled precision with our compact, rugged GNSS/INS system. Use it to trust your position anywhere in the air.
Applanix POS AV is a compact, fully integrated turnkey position and orientation system (GNSS + INS) that leverages advanced inertial technology to deliver stable, reliable and repeatable positioning solutions for airborne vehicle applications.
Trimble Applanix POS AV benefits,
- Provides an accurate real-time and post-mission solution for all motion variables, including sensor-specific exterior orientation (EO) parameters using Direct Georeferencing
- Allows for single-stereo model mapping and single-photo orthorectification using an existing digital elevation model
- Streamlines and automates the data workflow and quality control processes
- Easily integrated with digital cameras, film cameras, LIDAR systems, SAR systems and digital scanners
- Ideally suited to inhospitable environments and rapid response applications where ground control is not available
- Eliminates the requirement for aerotriangulation and a complete ground control survey (often only checkpoints for quality control are needed)
- Improves productivity in traditional aerial mapping applications, which translates into operational time and cost savings, with increased accuracy
Product Specifications
- High-performance, survey-grade multi-frequency GNSS receiver with embedded Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction services
- Compact, rugged construction with low power consumption, full in-air alignment support and auto-log functions
- Applanix POSPac MMS software for comprehensive post-processing, including POSPac post-processed CenterPoint RTX for mapping without base stations and IMU boresight calibration
