Geodetics, ITT Exelis Announce SAASM RTK Solutions

Geodetics Inc., in cooperation with Exelis, has announced the availability of a new Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) high-accuracy real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS capability. The new capability is based on a collaborative effort between the two companies.

It incorporates proven RTK technologies and products from Geodetics integrated with the high-precision and GPS security features of the Exelis SAASM.
The new Geodetics/Exelis offerings provide high-accuracy GPS capabilities using the military Precise Position Service (PPS) Y-code on both L1 and L2. The Exelis SAASM produces pseudorange and integrated carrier-phase observables at a selectable output rate. These observables are fully integrated into Geodetics' high-accuracy GPS technologies and is compatible with a full line of turn-key positioning and navigation products including inertial navigation (GPS/INS) and relative navigation systems, GPS-based attitude determination, GPS reference network/survey and post-processing tools.

The result is a cost-effective SAASM capability, integrated with a solution suite designed to support a wide range of positioning and navigation applications for manned and unmanned air, sea, and ground vehicles, the companies said.

"Geodetics is delighted to be working with Exelis. Our collaboration provides the authorized military user with turn-key solutions providing unprecedented centimeter-level position accuracy with full SAASM compliance," said Lydia Bock, Geodetics president and CEO.
