Navigation-Alignment System (NAS)

The NAS provides navigational and attitude data for the on-board measuring systems.

The NAS comprises:

  • OxTS RT3003 INS/DGPS system
  • RIegl LD90-3300HR laser altimeter
  • A rigid mounting system with bays for the current optical sensors 
  • Local power and network distribution.

 

The RT3003 provides high accuracy GPS positioning alongside very precise attitude data.

The LD90 provides very accurate range to surface data (on a first-return basis) at 100Hz for real-time reference and logging.

The NAS provides mounting bays for optical sensors and power and network functions to support them.
