Hemisphere GNSS Launches OEM Boards

Eclipse P326

Hemisphere GNSS has introduced two new OEM boards, the Eclipse P326 and P327, designed for machine control, land or marine survey, and agriculture applications. The boards support GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and Japan’s QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System).

The boards are the first within the Eclipse product line to have refreshed low-power capability, reduced size, cost, and weight, the company said. P326 and P327 offer centimeter-level accuracy in either single- or multi-frequencies, using signals from multiple GNSS constellations.  and Atlas-capable modes.

Rockwell Collins NavFire GPS Technology Used in Weapon Systems

Vulcano 127-millimeter artillery shell

Rockwell Collins is integrating its NavFire Precision Positioning Service (PPS) GPS into Leonardo-Finmeccanica’s VULCANO naval and artillery weapons systems.  Rockwell says it customized the NavFire receivers for the customer’s ammunition and provided support during testing.
 
Vulcano is a family of unguided (BER) and guided (GLR) ammunition for the 76- and 127-millimeter naval guns and 155-millimeter land artillery systems built by Leonardo, an Italian company known as Finmeccanica until its renaming earlier this year.

Clarion to Use Furuno’s DR/GNSS Module in Navigation System

Clarion to Use Furuno’s DR/GNSS Module in Navigation System

Clarion NXR16 with Furuno GV-86 GPS/dead reckoning-module

Furuno’s GV-86 GPS receiver chip with its dead-reckoning DR/GNSS module will be integrated into Clarion’s NXR16 car navigation systems for the auto-leasing and car rental industries.

The GV-86 features a dead-reckoning-enabled GNSS receiver that receives concurrent GPS, satellite-based augmentation system, and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System signals. The dead-reckoning capability allows the unit to provide positioning while in such harsh environments as tunnels, urban canyons, and underground parking garages where GNSS signals may be blocked, the company said.
