About Trimble APX RTX
Trimble APX RTX combines multi-frequency GNSS, calibrated inertial sensors and CenterPoint RTX corrections within compact UAV mapping modules. The system calculates sensor position, roll, pitch and heading at up to 100 hertz in real time and records raw data for higher-rate post-processing.
APX-15, APX-20, APX-30 and APX-50 configurations cover low-altitude mapping through long BVLOS flight lines. POSPac software processes camera, lidar and hyperspectral trajectories without a local base station. Dual-IMU options support sensors mounted on stabilised gimbals.
