Advanced Navigation’s Certus Evo Helps Nextcore’s UAV LiDAR Fly To New Heights

After reviewing the different inertial navigation systems available on the market, Ashley and the Nextcore team selected Advanced Navigation’s Certus Evo to be used in the RN80 payload. 

The Certus Evo was chosen because: 

1. It was highly accurate, reducing any angular errors from flying higher

2. It was easy to integrate into Nextcore’s existing systems

3. It was cost effective, allowing Nextcore to pass their savings on to their customers

The Outcome: Soaring above expectations

“When we had done our calculations we expected we’d be able to fly 80 metres above ground level” says Ashley. Instead, the Certus Evo performed so well it enabled Nexctore to produce a UAV-mounted LiDAR that operates at 100 metres above the ground, exceeding their initial goal. This became the RN100 UAV LiDAR, which allows Nextcore’s customers to fly more safely, cover a larger area and still achieve a survey-grade outcome. 

“We are excited to have partnered with Nextcore on this very strategic initiative to expand their capabilities and exceed their expectations for delivering on their business objectives,” says John Colvin, Chief Revenue Officer at Advanced Navigation.  John continued, “Nextcore has always been on the forefront and cutting edge by pushing the boundaries with their UAV-mounted LiDAR systems. This has driven us to produce our next generation of navigation solutions, like the Certus Evo, which will provide the highest performance results in the industry.  We are looking forward to our continued partnership with Nextcore and accelerating their success as they pursue their global expansion.”
