Benefits

World-leading GNSS+INS technology
SPAN GNSS+INS technology brings together two different but complementarytechnologies: Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning and Inertial
Navigation System (INS). The absolute accuracy of GNSS positioning with thestability of inertial measurement unit (IMU) gyro and accelerometer measurements
generate a 3D navigation solution that is stable and continuously available. Deeply
coupling the GNSS and inertial measurements through SPAN technology enables
better bridging through GNSS interruptions and rapid reacquisition of signals.

CPT7 overview
The CPT7 is a compact, single enclosure GNSS+INS receiver powered byworld‑class OEM7 technology from NovAtel. Capable of delivering up tocentimetre‑level accuracy, customers can choose from a variety of positioning
modes to ensure they have the optimal level of accuracy for their application.
The CPT7 contains a high performing and highly reliable Honeywell HG4930 Micro
Electromechanical System (MEMS) IMU to deliver leading-edge SPAN technology
from NovAtel 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 CPT7 is a small, lightweight and low-power
solution with multiple communication interfaces for easy integration on multiple• High-performance SPAN GNSS+INSsolution• Small, low-power, all-in-one
GNSS+INS enclosure• Easy integration into space andweight constrained applications• Commercially exportable system• Rugged design ideal for challenging
environments• Enhanced connection options

The deep coupling of the GNSS and IMU measurements delivers the most satellite
observations and the most accurate, continuous solution possible. Further,
the CPT7 is comprised entirely of commercial components, simplifying export
restrictions involved with traditional GNSS+INS systems.

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 effects 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) throughL2 (GLONASS). See manual for details. 3. The secondary antenna input does not support L-Band or SBAS signals. 4. Hardware ready for L5. 5. E1bc support only. 6. Requires an MFD model receiver. 7. GPS-only. 8. Requires subscription to TerraStar data service. Subscriptions available from NovAtel. 9. Requires SPAN Marine Profile. 10. Post-processing results using Waypoint Inertial Explorer. 11. Configurable with appropriate model. 12. Typical value. No
almanac or ephemerides and no approximate position or time. 13. Typical value. Almanac and recent ephemerides saved and approximate position and time entered. 14. Time accuracy does not include biases due to RF or antennadelay. 15. Export licensing restricts operation to a maximum of 515 meters per second, message output impacted above 500 m/s. 16. Supplied by IMU manufacturer. 17. Dimensions do not include mounting feet. 18. Typical values
using serial port communication without interference mitigation. Consult the OEM7 Installation & Operation User Manual for power supply considerations 19. Pending 20. 1 ppm should be added to all position values to account foradditional error due to baseline length. 21. 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 after each outage. The survey data used to generate these statistics had frequent changes in azimuth.
22. Outage performance achieved with one antenna.
