Product overview

Quanta Plus and Quanta Extra are advanced GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) with exceptional performance across various land, marine, and airborne applications in a compact "OEM" form factor.

  • Quanta Plus excels in UAV and land-based surveying applications, thanks to its remarkable performance, especially in challenging GNSS environments.
  • Quanta Extra delivers unparalleled performance in the most demanding scenarios, thanks to its cutting-edge Apogee-grade IMU.

These systems come in compact board-level packaging and boast impressive SWAP (Size, Weight, and Power) characteristics, allowing seamless integration into space-constrained applications.

The Quanta Plus system features a tactical-grade IMU that minimizes errors during challenging or GNSS-denied conditions, while its low sensor noise ensures outstanding orientation performance.

On the other hand, the Quanta Extra system incorporates a near-navigation-grade IMU with ultra-low sensor noise and exceptional MEMS accuracy. It can withstand extended GNSS outages while maintaining centimeter-level navigation performance.

Both Quanta Plus and Quanta Extra are equipped with a multi-frequency, quad-constellation, triple-frequency, dual-antenna survey-grade GNSS receiver, capable of delivering highly accurate positioning, even in demanding GNSS environments. While both systems are compatible with single-antenna operation, an optional secondary antenna allows for usage in the lowest dynamic conditions.

Moreover, Quanta Plus and Quanta Extra incorporate dedicated motion profiles tailored to different vehicle types, optimizing the sensor fusion algorithms for each specific application.
