Apogee-E: Versatile INS with External GNSS Connection

Name: Apogee-E: Versatile INS with External GNSS Connection
Brand: SBG Systems

0.008° Roll/Pitch

Apogee-E is part of the Apogee series of high-performance MEMS-based inertial systems, offering outstanding orientation and navigation capabilities in a compact and cost-effective design. This version is an Inertial Navigation System (INS). It provides accurate orientation in dynamic conditions as well as heave, surge and sway data. SBG Systems' INS connects to any survey grade GNSS receiver for navigation and and other aiding equipment such as odometer or DVL.
