Inertial Explorer Xpress Overview

Inertial Explorer Xpress (IEX) is a feature and area-limited version of Inertial Explorer intended to meet the needs of the UAV market.

IEX will produce GNSS+INS solutions within a radius of 3 km from the project centroid. The centroid is an average of all non-stationary processed coordinates in the project. Any solutions outside of this area are encrypted and cannot be exported.

IEX retains the same core processing functionality and utilities as Inertial Explorer, however features that are not required for UAV applications have been removed for simplicity and to enforce the recommended workflow. IEX is differentiated from Inertial Explorer by the following:

• IEX accepts only a single base station

• IEX supports GNSS-only differential processing and Precise Point Positioning (PPP), as well as differential and PPP Tightly Coupled (TC) processing. Loosely coupled processing is not supported in IEX.

• Multi-pass processing is required when processing TC

• IEX does not support input of Distance Measurement Instruments (DMR), Gimbal Mount data (MMR), or usage of a PVA update file

• No CUPTs or ZUPTs can be manually entered in IEX

• The User Command tab is not available within either the Advanced GNSS or Advanced INS options

• IEX will not compute marine heave

• IEX includes a simplified list of QC plots that are relevant to the capabilities of the product
