Applanix POS AV

Engineered for aerial cameras, scanning lasers, imaging sensors, synthetic aperture radar, and LIDAR technology.

POSAV

Applanix DG Link

Applanix POS AV is a hardware and software system specifically designed for Direct Georeferencing of airborne sensor data. By integrating precision GNSS with inertial technology, Applanix POS AV enables geospatial projects to be completed more efficiently, effectively, and economically. Supported by our industry expertise and technological innovation, POS AV is engineered for aerial cameras, scanning lasers, imaging sensors, synthetic aperture radar, and LIDAR technology.

The Applanix POS AV products are available in three hardware configurations: standalone plug-and-play unit (Applanix POS AV or Applanix POS AVX), Trimble AP OEM (traditional OEM solution), and Trimble AP+ Air (smaller, lighter, and lower powered). Contact us to discuss the right solution for your application.

Applanix POSPac Mobile Mapping Suite is our next generation, industry-leading software for Direct Georeferencing of mobile mapping sensors using GNSS and inertial technology. Learn more.

Improves productivity in traditional aerial mapping applications, which translates into operational time and costs savings, with increased accuracy

"Choosing Applanix was that simple, Applanix is the leader in the field and it was important to us to put their equipment in our aircraft and also to marry it with all the sensors systems so we could carry several payloads and that way we will be able to leapfrog some of the existing fixed wing aircrafts that fly Applanix systems. So we are very keen to keep working with Applanix on future developments."

Dr. Brian Eggleston, Brican Flight Systems Inc

“Applanix products are extremely reliable. We push them hard and they stand up. Their customer service is also exceptional – extremely high expertise and very quick response”
