VueStar ™ Manual- Rev B
VueStar™ is the only complete global aerial survey navigation system. VueStar™ delivers precision
navigation by combining NavCom’s leading edge, dual frequency GPS receiver with NavCom’s
StarFire™ Network, a Global Satellite Based Augmentation System (GSBAS). The VueStar™ system,
equipped with a single FAA certified tri-band antenna that receives both GPS and StarFire™ signals,
provides decimeter navigation in real-time without the need for local base stations.
The VueStar™ aerial survey package is the only system of its kind providing a reliable, cost-effective
solution for aerial surveyors. Maximizing the advantages of the global StarFire Network, the system
eliminates the range limitations of terrestrial communication links as well as the dependency on
postprocessing with ground based reference stations. Not only does VueStar™ provide surveyors with
the ability to return customer surveys in days rather than weeks, but it also frees ground based survey
crews to work on other projects.
The VueStar™ package comes complete with NavCom’s SF-2050M dual frequency receiver, all
necessary cabling, a combined GPS/StarFire™ FAA certified aircraft antenna, StarPac™ Utility
Software, a one-year global StarFire™ license, as well as detailed installation manuals and user guides.
An optional event latch interface can be purchased, which will allow greater connectivity between the
VueStar™ receiver and Photogrammetry cameras.
The setup and operation of the VueStar™ System is described in the SF-2050 User Guide and the
StarPac™ User Guide. This VueStar™ Manual lists steps and information regarding the installation of
the Airborne Antenna as well as connectivity and set-up of the optional Event Latch Interface along
with all equipment described in this manual.
