SPAN: WORLD-LEADING GNSS+INS TECHNOLOGY

Synchronous Position, Attitude and Navigation (SPAN) technology brings together two

dierent but complementary technologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)

positioning and inertial navigation. The absolute accuracy of GNSS positioning and the

stability of Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) gyro and accelerometer measurements

are tightly coupled to provide an exceptional 3D navigation solution that is stable and

continuously available, even through periods when satellite signals are blocked.

SPAN CPT7 OVERVIEW

The SPAN CPT7 is a compact, single enclosure GNSS+INS receiver, powered by

NovAtel’s world class OEM7

technology. Capable of delivering up to centimetre-level

accuracy, customers can choose from a variety of positioning modes to ensure they

have the optimal level of accuracy for their application.

The SPAN CPT7 contains a high performing and highly reliable Honeywell HG4930

Micro Electromechanical System (MEMS) IMU to deliver leading-edge NovAtel

SPAN technology in an integrated, single enclosure solution. It provides tactical grade

performance for unmanned vehicles, mobile mapping and other commercial and/or

military guidance applications. The SPAN CPT7 is a small, lightweight and low power

solution with multiple communication interfaces for easy integration on multiple

platforms.

SPAN CPT7 ADVANTAGES

The tight coupling of the GNSS and IMU measurements delivers the most satellite

observations and the most accurate, continuous solution possible. Further, SPAN CPT7

is comprised entirely of commercial components, simplifying export restrictions

involved with traditional GNSS+INS systems.

IMPROVE SPAN CPT7 ACCURACY

Take advantage of NovAtel CORRECT® to receive your choice of accuracy and

performance, from decimetre to RTK-level positioning. For more demanding

applications, Inertial Explorer® post-processing soware can be used to post-process

SPAN data to provide the system’s highest level of accuracy.

1 Typical SPAN system performance values when using this IMU. Performance speciﬁcations subject to GNSS system characteristics, Signal-in-Space (SIS) operational degradation, ionospheric

and tropospheric conditions, satellite geometry, baseline length, multipath eects and the presence of intentional or unintentional interference.

2 Model-conﬁgurable to track L5/E5a (all / Galileo) through L2 (GPS) or L3/E5b/B2 (GLONASS / Galileo / BeiDou) through L2 (GLONASS). See manual for details.

3 The secondary antenna input does not support L-Band or SBAS signals.

4 Hardware ready for L3 and L5.

5 Designed for BeiDou Phase 2 and 3, B1and B2 compatibility (where applicable).

6 GPS-only.

7 Requires subscription to TerraStar data service. Subscriptions available from NovAtel.

8 Typical value. No almanac or ephemerides and no approximate position or time.

9 Typical value. Almanac and recent ephemerides saved and approximate position and time entered.

10 Time accuracy does not include biases due to RF or antenna delay.

11 Export licensing restricts operation to a maximum of 515 metres per second, message output impacted above 500 m/s.

12 Supplied by IMU manufacturer.

13 Dimensions do not inlude mounting feet.

14 Typical values using serial port communication without interference mitigation. Consult the OEM7 Installation & Operation User Manual for power supply considerations

15 1 ppm should be added to all postition values to account for additional error due to baseline length.

16 Post-processing results using Intertial Explorer.

17 Outage statistics were calculated by taking the RMS of the maximum errors over a minimum of 30 complete GNSS outages. Each outage was followed by 120 seconds of full GNSS availability

before the next outage was applied. High accuracy GPS updates (ﬁxed ambiguities) were available immediately before and aer each outage. The survey data used to generate these statistics

had frequent changes in azimuth.

18 Outage performance achieved with one antenna.
