TRIMBLE UX5 

UNMANNED AIRCRAFT S 

THE STANDARD IN MAPPING AND SURVEYING 

The Trimble® UX5 Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) sets 

the standard for fast and safe aerial data collection by 

offering a complete system with powerful technologies 

such as a robust design, a radically simplified workflow 

and reversed thrust & automatic failsafe procedures. The 

Trimble UX5 offers a much safer method to collect data 

compared to traditional surveying methods. Featuring 

the Trimble Access`" Aerial Imaging application, flights 

are conducted in a fully automated manner, from launch 

to landing, and require no piloting skills. The Trimble 

UX5 makes a once time consuming and complex 

process incredibfy easy — no matter what the conditions. 

SUPERIOR IMAGE ACQUISITION 

The Trimble UX5 ensures optirnal irriage quality along 

with maximum photogrammetric accuracy. The camera 

has a large imaging sensor that captures very sharp, 

color-rich images, even in dark or cloudy conditions. 

The 24 MP camera and its custom optics give the 

UX5 the ability to capture data down to 2 cm (0.79 

in) resolution. 

UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE 

Based on a production method patented by Trimble, 

the Trimble UX5 combines an impact resistant foam 

structure and internal and external composite elements 

that give the UX5 its extreme durability and strength. 

Additionally, the design focus has been on delivering an 

easy to maintain airframe that can be renewed at users' 

discretion by a plug-and-play fitting of the protected 

internal electronia. 

The remarkable design of the Trimble UX5 ensures 

employability nearly everywhere and in practically all 

weather conditions. Whether you choose to fly in 

rainy conditions along windy seashores, in hot deserts, 

or in a snowy, mountain terrain, the Trimble UX5 is a 

dependable solution to gather high quality data without 

compromising coverage. 

LANDINGS, LESS SPACE — MORE ACCURATE 

The Trimble UX5 overcomes the limitations of 

traditional fixed wing UAS landings vvith the addition 

of an advanced control method. Based on reversed 

thrust, this improved altitude measurement results 

in accurate and predictable landings for landing 

confidenc2 every time. For professionals working 

in small areas, the landing angle and trajectory is 

compact and allows for landings in confined spaces. 

INTUITIVE WORKFLOWS WITH 

TRIMBLE ACCESS 

The Trimble Access Aerial Imaging application 

loaded onto the Trimble Tablet Rugged PC operates 

the Trimble UXS and is a single software tool for 

planning your aerial missions, performing pre-flight 

checks and monitoring your flights — all with intuitive 

workflows that ensure reliable results. In the field, 

the operator is guided through the pre- and postflight sequences with step-by-step digital checklists. 

The fast and intuitive workflow allows the Trimble 

UX5 to be ready to fly in only 5 minutes ensuring 

minimal downtime. 

VALUABLE PHOTOGR/-\IVIIVIETRY 

DELIVERABLES 

Optimized to process data from the Trimble UX5 

Unmanned Aircraft System, the Trimble Business 

Center Photogrammetry Module creates impressive 

deliverables. Produce point clouds, Triangulated 

Irregular Network (TIN) models and contour maps of 

the area flovvn. These can then be used to calculate 

volumes, excavation planning, drainage planning 

and many other functions. Trimble Business Center 

also produces a scaled orthophoto of the area 

that can be used to plan a project, define features 

of interest, identify property boundaries, or show 

construction progress by comparing orthophotos 

from different times.
