Fast, accurate positioning
The 12-channel, dual-frequency GPS receiver computes real-time positions at up to 25 times a second, re-acquires GPS signals faster, and includes improved troposphere modeling which better compensates for changes in altitude.

Ease of integration
Quick and easy to setup, VueStar™ seamlessly integrates into pre-existing workflows, and delivers precise positioning worldwide without the need for RTK base stations or GPS post processing. With a single ‘all-in-one’ FAA certified antenna capable of L1, L2 and L-Band reception, aircraft installation is minimal. Photogrammetry, LIDAR, SAR, and other Remote Sensing and Aerial Survey applications can rely on the real-time, decimeter results provided by VueStar. The optional Event Latch Interface provides for seemless integration with many cameras and other aerial survey sensors.

Higher productivity
Maximizing the advantages of the global StarFire™ Network, the system provides aerial surveyors with the ability to return customer surveys in days rather than weeks, freeing up ground-based survey crews to work on other projects.

Critical tools for mission planning
Providing both pre-mission and post-mission processing, the StarPac™ Utility Software provides critical tools for mission planning. It delivers RINEX conversion, datum conversion, trajectory plotting, and output of position data in a number of formats, along with a quality / figure of merit for each position. Also, the optional Event Latch Interface conditions the event signal, allowing VueStar™ to operate successfully with a variety of cameras and airborne sensors. This self-powered module also contains internal de-bounce circuitry to ensure proper event timing.

The VueStar package comes complete with:

• NavCom's SF-2050M 12-channel, dual-frequency receiver
• StarPac™ Utility Software
• All necessary cabling
• A combined GPS/StarFire FAA-certified tri-band aircraft antenna
• One-year global StarFire™ license
• Detailed installation and user manuals

StarPac™ Utility Software
The StarPac™ Utility Software provides critical data analysis tools for aerial survey applications. StarPac™ can automatically parse through logged mission data containing StarFire™ positions for export in a format appropriate for use by post-mission tools such as mapping software. It can also extrapolate positions based on airborne sensor-triggered event records. For those needing a complete GPS post-processing suite, StarPac™ has a direct upgrade path to Waypoint’s GrafNav Utilities.
