FTS has adapted its basic system navigation unit to kinematic systems motion measurement applications by the addition of on board data logging and RF telemetry broadcast capabilities. The Dynamic Instrumentation Unit we call TrueMotion is comprised of a self aligning GPS aided inertial navigation system, analog and digital data acquisition interfaces, RF modem, and on-board mass data storage. FTS also provides the required ground station equipment with TM data receivers, navigation system augmentation system, and data reduction / display systems.
