AERIAL SENSOR PAYLOADS

  • Task-specific sensor combinations
  • Controller + LiDAR + Cameras
  • Over floor holes or in a Klau Geomatics pod
PPK for manned aircraft

Klau Geomatics Survey Controllers are are built on NovAtel 7 Series GNSS

Ruggedised, accurate georeferencing, GNSS or INS, to integrate with sensors and FMS

Every Klau Geomatics positioning system, has an industry-leading NovAtel 7700 board at its core, military spec, with advanced interference mitigation, tested over millions of hours.
The positioning system is at the heart of every payload, the key to integration and accuracy.
