  • High Accuracy Independent of Speed

  • No Ambiguity Around Zero Speed

  • No Upper Bound on Speed

  • Real-Time On-board Signal Processing
    Optimized for Measurements in
    All Environments

  • Real-Time Compensation for
    Platform Motion

  • High Update Rate

 

Measurement of Groundspeed/Track:

  • Precise and Direct Measurement of 3D Groundspeed and Ground Track

  • High Accuracy Independent of Speed

  • No Ambiguity Around Zero Speed

  • No Upper Bound on Speed

  • Real Time On-board Signal Processing Optimized for Measurements in All Environments

  • Real Time Compensation for Platform Motion

  • Data Rates Compatible with Requirements of Flight Control Systems

 

Measurement of Distance

  • Precise Measurement of Distance

  • Exceeds Performance of All Available Range Measurement Devices

  • Real Time Compensation for Platform Motion

  • High Accuracy Independent of Range

  • Real Time On-board Signal Processing Optimized for Measurements in All Environments

  • Real Time Compensation for Platform Motion

  • High Data Rates
