Precise Heading Solution
Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS, USA) has announced the MR-1 Heading System, an OEM GNSS solution for high-performance positioning and heading. Using the MR-1 receiver and Topcon’s MG-A8 antenna, the system provides centimetre-accurate RTK positioning and better than one tenth of a degree heading accuracy in challenging environments.
The rugged MR-1 receiver is waterproof and dustproof and operates at a robust operational temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.
When combined with Topcon’s Quartz Lock Loop technology, the MR-1 is designed for continuous operation during extreme vibration and shock, typical of intense dynamic environments.
The MG-A8 antenna of the MR-1 Heading System is designed for moving platforms and provides multipath rejection. This patented antenna design also offers increased resistance to near-band interference from the satellite communications systems that are commonly found in marine applications.
