Geo-APNT

Master Clock + GPS Aided INS Combined in a Single Enclosure

This product is also available as the Geo-APNT SAASM. Contact us for more info.

The Geo-APNT® is an innovative and efficient solution for applications that need precise navigation data, as well as accurate time reference.  The Geo-APNT combines a high performance, versatile, GPS master clock with an accurate inertial navigation system that delivers assured position, navigation and timing (PNT) under all circumstances, including temporary loss of GPS, typical of dynamic platforms. The Geo-APNT minimizes size, weight and power (SWaP) due to the integration of positioning and timing that are typically achieved by two independent subsystems.
