Kongsberg DPS112 sensor

Kongsberg DPS112 sensor

Description

DPS 112 is a robust and reliable DGNSS (DGPS/DGLONASS) sensor suitable for a wide range of marine  applications. It utilises the new Seastar SGG service capable of world wide sub-metre accuracy. Performance is independent of distance from reference stations.

Seastar SGG service 

DPS 112 has been developed to utilise the new Global Satellite Based Augmentation System (Global SBAS) introduced by  Fugro Satellite Positioning, the Seastar SGG service. Unlike  regional SBAS services such as WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN and  MSAS, and local DGPS services such as IALA DGPS, Seastar  SGG utilises Fugro’s own network of dual system reference  stations to calculate ‘orbit and clock’ corrections. The service  provides consistent sub-metre level accuracy positioning with  global validity.

GPS and GLONASS 

One of the primary advantages of a combined GPS/GLONASS  system is the increased satellite coverage. The addition of  GLONASS increases system availability and the performance  of DPS 112 is greatly enhanced compared to traditional DGPS  systems when operating in highly obstructed environments and  under challenging signal tracking conditions.

A member of the DPS Family 

The Kongsberg Seatex DPS product line is well-proven and  in use by professional marine and offshore users worldwide.  By complementing the DPS product line and introducing the  Seastar SGG service, Kongsberg Seatex and Fugro Satellite  Positioning extend the user segment to new and less complex  vessel categories.

The DPS product series is developed and suitable for all applications in need for a confident position solution when operating  in safety-critical environments.

The DPS 112 is an addition to the existing well proven DPS  range comprising DPS 132/232/432/4D/5D. The high end solutions offer decimetre level position accuracy, IMU integration  (DPS 4D/5D), application tailored HMI, extended DP operation  functionality and extended interfacing capabilities.
