Attitude determination and real-time positioning
Setting a new standard for attitude determination and real-time positioning, the advanced ADU5™ from Magellan Professional delivers unsurpassed accuracy in a rugged, full-function system. ADU5 provides precise heading, pitch and roll along with three-dimensional position and velocities at a rate of up to 5 Hz for both static and dynamic platforms, making it an ideal solution for a wide variety of airborne, marine and terrestrial applications. Built on the strength of Magellan Professional experience, ADU5 shares the same dimensions and interface as its predecessor, ADU2, while providing superior performance and consuming much less power.

Advanced Features
ADU5 is a 14-channel receiver utilizing a 4-antenna array for optimal satellite tracking, to provide accurate and reliable positioning. Assisted by correction signals from Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAT, ADU5 also features an embedded 2-channel 300 KHz beacon receiver for easy DGPS operations. ADU5 employs on-the-fly integer ambiguity resolution techniques, using carrier phase measurements from the 4 onboard GPS receivers, to provide instantaneous 3-D attitude information. High attitude angular accuracies are achieved through the use of spatial separation measurements between the four antennas. ADU5 can provide accuracies of 0.1 degree for heading and 0.2 degree for pitch and roll using a 2-meter antenna separation. ADU5 also features a unique Kalman filter with user selectable dynamic modes such as ship, aircraft, adaptive, and more, to match operating conditions.

User-Friendly Operation
Windows-based Evaluate™ and CalibADUTM™ software is included to enable direct communication with the receiver for controlling and monitoring. Evaluate software provides visual displays of satellite tracking information, position, velocities and attitude. It is also capable of data logging and statistical accuracy analysis. CalibADU software enables you to determine the relative antenna vectors and calibrate the receiver with the click of a button.

Easy Integration
Packaged in a rugged housing, ADU5 can easily be integrated into existing navigation systems. As with its predecessors, the ADU5 can be readily employed in a variety of precision GPS applications, including gyrocompass calibration, dredge positioning, oceanographic Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling (ADCP), airborne videography and remote sensing, as well as many terrestrial, marine and airborne weapons and antenna orientation applications.

LRK: Beyond RTK
Aquarius™ from Magellan Professional is the ultimate answer to the expectations of the rigorous and demanding world of Marine Surveying. With Ashtech dual-frequency LRK™ kinematic processing technology, the standard for outstanding performance, you get fast, real-time centimeter-level positioning and fully operational radio link up to 40 kilometers. With LRK, you will be able to work at greater distances than conventional RTK. Aquarius also comes in a single-frequency version featuring Ashtech KART™ technique.

Radio Link: Your Choice<
In order to guarantee the level of performance and reliability for the reception of differential corrections on different frequency bands, all possible configurations have been concieved. Not only can you take advantage of the high-performance UHF link designed by Magellan Professional ("U-Link") but you can also use an HF/MF link (HM-link) providing full compatibility with existing networks, such as HF or IALA radio beacons. Choose the built-in radio configuration that best meets your needs: 1 or 2 U-Link modules, 1 or 2 HM-Link modules, or 1 U-Link module and 1 HM-Link module.

Ergonomic and Versatile: An Array of Possibilities
Aquarius includes all the features you need including a floating power input, a sealed ultra-resistant case as well as essential interfacing capabilities. Aquarius offers flexibility with its five I/O ports, the TRM100 navigation and control terminal and ConfigPack™ software. Aquarius has the built-in potential for additional expansion, depending on the chosen model: you can easily upgrade it from single to dual frequency, or even to Aquarius2, which offers a combination of accurate heading and positioning. The Aquarius, Aquarius2 and Sagitta are backward compatible with Magellan Professional’s Ashtech 5000 series.

Accurate
The Sagitta™ receiver from Magellan Professional is intended for small and medium-scale marine surveys for which position precision and ease of use are equally important. Thanks to its low weight and small form factor, it can easily be carried from site to site. Sagitta comes in two versions: single-frequency and dual-frequency. Its 16-channel GNSS differential core is housed in a single, versatile unit that can be combined with additional optional software or hardware to meet a variety of requirements: screen & keypad (TRM100), UHF or HF/MF radio ("U-Link" or "HM-Link" transmitter/receiver), and more.

A High-Performance Mobile or Reference Station
As a mobile, Sagitta offers real-time precision ranging from the meter to the centimeter level, depending on how it is operated. Operating modes available include WAAS/EGNOS, EDGPS, KART™or LRK™. Its fast 10-Hz raw data output and 20-Hz processed data output rates make it the ideal tool for many types of kinematic applications such as bathymetry or coastal works, sea trials or trajectography. Surprisingly, for its size, Sagitta boasts levels of performance comparable to those of the most sophisticated equipment available on the market. Benefiting from a high degree of flexibility in its design, Sagitta can also be used as a reference station, by adding a U-Link station kit to deliver UHF signals over distances of 30 kilometers or more.
