Apogee Series

Apogee Series is a line of High Performance and Highly Versatile MEMS inertial navigation systems

Apogee-A

Motion & Heave

Apogee-A is a highly accurate Motion Reference Unit (MRU).

The Apogee-A is based on the robust and cost-effective MEMS technology and provides precise orientation and heave data.

  • 0.008° Roll and Pitch over 360°
  • 0.015° Heading when connected to GPS/GNSS
  • 5 cm Heave, 2 cm Delayed Heave

Apogee-E

+ Navigation with External GNSS

Apogee-E connects to any survey grade GNSS receiver for navigation and aiding equipment such as odometer or DVL.

This highly versatile Inertial Navigation System provides orientation, navigation, and heave data in real-time and post-processing.

  • 0.008° Roll & Pitch (RTK)
  • 0.015° GNSS-based Heading (4m baseline)
  • 1 cm Position (Depends on the GNSS receiver)
  • Post-processing with Qinertia PPK Software
  • 5 cm Real-time Heave, 2 cm Delayed Heave

Apogee-D

All-in-one INS/GNSS

Apogee-D is an all-in-one INS/GNSS which embeds an RTK and PPP ready GNSS receiver for applications where space is critical but high performance required.

This highly versatile MEMS-based Inertial Navigation System comes with one or two antennas.

  • 0.008° Roll & Pitch (RTK)
  • 0.015° GNSS-based Heading (4m baseline)
  • 1 cm Position (RTK)
  • Post-processing with Qinertia PPK Software
  • 5 cm Real-time Heave, 2 cm Delayed Heave

Navsight Apogee

Deported Processing and GNSS

Navsight Apogee consists of an Apogee grade Inertial Measurement Unit and connected to Navsight, a rugged processing unit embedding the fusion intelligence and the GNSS receiver (option).

This practical set up allows the IMU to be located close to the equipment to sense, and the processing unit close to the operator.

  • 0.008° Roll and Pitch over 360°
  • 0.015° Heading (GNSS-based)
  • 1 cm RTK GNSS Position
  • Post-processing with Qinertia PPK
  • 5 cm Heave, 2 cm Delayed Heave
  • Available with Surface or Subsea Enclosure

High Precision Inertial Navigation System

With very low noise gyroscopes, low latency, and high resistance to vibrations, the Apogee provides precise orientation and position data.

Robust Position during GNSS Outages

The internal Extended Kalman Filter fuses in real-time inertial and GNSS data for enhanced position and orientation measurements in harsh environments (bridge, tunnel, forest, etc.)

Easy-to-use Post-processing Software

Apogee sensors embed an 8 GB data logger for post-operation analysis or post-processing. Qinertia post-processing software enhances SBG INS performance by post-processing inertial data with raw GNSS observables.

Precise Time Protocol (PTP) & Network Time Protocol (NTP)

Apogee features a professional PTP (Precise Time Protocol) Grand Master Clock server as well as an NTP server. Synchronize several LiDAR and Cameras sensors over Ethernet to better than 1 microsecond.
