Coarse vs. Precise Positioning GPS Measurement Scale Fine Accuracy GPS Chipsets Coarse Accuracy GPS Units
GPS + Satellite Based Augmentation • GPS Autonomous Only: 2 – 5 meter absolute positioning • GPS + SBAS0.5 – 1 meter absolute positioning
Differential GPS + Real Time Kinematic (RTK) 1 cm accurate vector ∆X, ∆Y, ∆Z
Network RTK + Global Differential GNSS • Centimeter Level Positioning • Only available in certain geographic areas • Correction Delivery Mechanism • Internet • GSM • Satellite
Next Generation Global Precise Point Positioning • Trimble RTX™ Correction Service • < 5 - 10 cm global position accuracy • Available globally • Required Apparatus: Receiver + Antenna • Correction Delivery Mechanism • Internet • GSM • Satellite
Typical PPP Performance < 5 – 10 centimeter (0.05 – 0.1 meter) 3D position Typical SBAS Performance < 3 meter 3D position
The Result Full Attitude + Heading with Global Precise Positioning • Precise Heading + Attitude at <0.05° • < 5 - 10 cm absolute global position accuracy • Available globally Z Y
Unmanned Applications Best Suited for Trimble Technology • Robotic Swarm Applications • Aerial Mapping / Direct geo-referencing • Formation Flying using RTK • Autonomous Landing • Autonomous Refueling Source – Google. Pictures for representational purposes only
