PRODUCT WATCH
Ultra-slim M-Code GPS Receiver to Counter Spoofing BAE Systems has revealed its ultrasmall MicroGRAM-M GPS receiver compatible with next-generation M-Code military GPS signals that are resistant to jamming and spoofing. About the size of a postage stamp, MicroGRAM-M is claimed to be the world’s smallest, lightest, and most power-efficient M-Code embedded GPS receiver. It provides assured positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) for size-constrained and other micro-applications. It also boasts of having the industry’s lowest power consumption for an M-Code device. At 1.0 X 1.25 X 0.275, MicroGRAM-M has the same physical dimensions as its predecessor, enabling quick upgradability to M-Code and reduced system integration costs. At its core is a tamper-proof M-Code Common GPS Module that encapsulates classif ied data and signal processing.
Small and Smart
• Advanced correlator engine • Next-generation modernized security architecture • Unclassified-when-keyed operation • Operations in a mixed Y-Code and M-Code constellation
Radiometric Thermal Zoom Drone Payload Unveiled Teledyne FLIR has unveiled its FLIR Vue TZ20-R high resolution, thermal-zoom payload, which is purpose-built for drone pilots flying the DJI V2 Matrice 200 Series and Matrice 300 airframes. It includes radiometry to measure the temperature of every pixel in the scene. Featuring two 640x512 resolution FLIR Boson thermal camera modules, with one providing a narrow-field-of-view (18 degrees) and the other a wide-field-ofview (95 degrees), the Vue TZ20-R provides even greater situational awareness, accuracy, and context by offering more pixels on target
Benefits to Users
• Cover vast areas in less time • See targets in detail and silence • Ready to fly
with the corresponding temperature data. It offers simplified operation and payload connection via the Skyport V2.0 gimbal
on the DJI Matrice 300 or V2 Matrice 200 series. The Vue TZ20-R enables expanded search-area S&R missions, law enforcement surveillance in silence, and detailed industrial inspections from a safe stand-off distance.
Next-generation GNSS Receiver Trimble’s most recent launch, the DA2 GNSS receiver for its Catalyst positioning service, is a second-generation receiver and antenna that now includes the Trimble ProPoint GNSS engine for enhanced performance. The Bluetooth-enabled DA2 adds iOS support to the Catalyst service, greatly increasing the range of devices, workflows and apps that can be used with the Catalyst solution. Its ProPoint technology reduces convergence times and improves positioning accuracy when operating near trees and buildings. Trimble Catalyst is a subscription-based GNSS positioning service for location-enabled field applications. The service is available in accuracy-based packages from centimeter to sub-meter level for a wide range of mapping and mobile Geographic Information System (GIS) data collection projects. A broad range of GIS field applications is continued to be supported by Catalyst, including the Trimble TerraFlex software for form-based GIS data collection.
