Apogee-A: High Accuracy Motion Sensor

Apogee-A is a highly accurate Motion Sensor or MRU (Motion Reference Unit). The ITAR Free Apogee-A is the most accurate motion sensor based on the robust and cost-effective MEMS technology.

Apogee Data Sheet

High Accuracy:

• 0.008° Roll & Pitch (RTK)
• Heading depends on aiding source
• 5 cm    Real-time Heave
• 2 cm    Delayed Heave

Apogee-A embeds:

• The latest MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers
• A Web Interface for Easy Configuration on any platform
• A 48h Internal Data Logger for Post-processing

Apogee Models Available

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.

Applications

Marine

Apogee-A is an extremely accurate MRU for the motion monitoring of large vessel, barges, platform, cranes, and on-board equipment. It provides unmatched heave and motion data for Sonar stabilization, Helidek displays, Cranes Active Heave Compensation, etc. Apogee sensors are compatible with all hydrographic software (Hypack, QPS, PDS2000, etc.).

Complementary Equipment and Software

Connection, Synchronization and Positioning

The SplitBox provides a simplified interface for easy connection and synchronization with external equipment such as odometer, differential corrections, computers, or survey instruments. The SplitBox with integrated GNSS receiver additionally delivers navigation data with a large choice of positioning services (Marinestar, TerraStar, etc.).
