Bramor ppX
Survey Grade UAS
The BRAMOR ppX (GNSS PPK – Post Processing Kinematic) UAS is ideally suited for surveying and remote sensing applications that need a fast high precision set of results, down to sub-centimeter GSD level also in the absence of a grid of ground control points.
The system is comprised of an air and ground segment, consisting of a state of the art GNSS on board receiver and ground base station, the BRAMOR ppX blended wing body modular airframe with a lot of sensor options, a portable and ergonomic rugged ground control station and catapult launcher. The BRAMOR ppX UAS combines high precision autonomous operations with data acquisition, turbulent air penetration and stability with long endurance. Optional enhancements such as high precision IMU and tracking antennas are available.
The BRAMOR ppX is the ultimate high productivity tool for global surveying and remote sensing in very remote and less remote areas, with an industry leading endurance of 3,5 hours, an operational ceiling of 5000m AGL and capable of operating in winds of up to 60km/h. Unrivalled. The airframe is made of advanced composite materials (Kevlar/Carbon/Vectran) that provide a high level of survivability. A high visibility color scheme, strobe and NAV lights are optional. Embedded autonomous flight procedures include an array of fail-safe options based on man-rated standards. It is equipped with C-Astral high rate GNSS receiver and IMU precision data-logging electronics.
