Engineering Case Study – Attitude Determination System
Requirement
A customer required a system that they could use to position three objects and know the relative distances, heading and pitch between all three
They also had the requirement that they could change the display to match either TRUE or any GRID projection from a worldwide selection
Finally, was a requirement to ensure that the system was weather-proof and had a method of remotely viewing the data in real time
Solution
The CPUPak was used as a foundation for a solution in which three OEM4 receivers were combined inside the CPUPak housing and internally connected to pass corrections from the master to the rovers
Waypoints RTKNav solution was used to generate the attitude data between the three antenna
The system was built into a Pelicase and all the vital connections were wired to the outside of the case for functionality without the requirement to open the lid
The data was displayed by either connecting a monitor to the CPUPak or remotely using a PDA
We developed specific software for viewing and controlling the system to include a worldwide geodetic suite that provided the functionality to transform between coordinate systems in real-time
