Product overview
AheadX CRUX is a ground-based UAV guidance device that combines high-precision positioning and orientation information with inertial measurement attitude data. Its guidance applications use a UAV equipped with the AheadX Guidance Navigation Control System together with the DG3 Mobile Station. In that configuration, applications include rotorcraft tethered following, fixed-wing or mixed-wing hovering, and fixed-point recovery. Recovery arrangements include fixed-wing net recovery, skyhook recovery and arresting-cable recovery, giving the system several defined integration applications across UAV flight and recovery.
With the same AheadX Guidance Navigation Control System and DG3 Mobile Station configuration, CRUX supports rotorcraft and composite-wing landing on mobile platforms and fixed-wing mobile-net recovery. Its combination of positioning and inertial attitude information also supports guidance onto floating or swaying platforms, including ships moving with waves, under those integration conditions. AheadX Space V3 provides a dynamic radar display showing CRUX positioning status and UAV flight accuracy, adding a graphical presentation of those two quantities.
