Ashtech Technology

What is BLADE
Ashtech invests heavily in the development of cutting-edge technology to further strengthen its position as a leading designer and developer of precision positioning technology. Recent developments have produced greater product integration and progressive augmentations to GPS/GNSS. These advances are apparent in the latest line of professional products including the new Ashtech BLADE™ Technology.

BLADE: the Ultimate GNSS Technology
BLADE is Ashtech’s proprietary, state-of-art Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Differential GNSS (DGNSS) engine that is the core GNSS data processing technology in Ashtech’s Professional products. BLADE contains patented techniques for the optimal combination of different GNSS signals.

Most existing RTK engines were created as GPS (L1 only or L1&L2) engines. They were not initially designed to properly support other GNSS signals for each RTK-specific application. Adding other GNSS signals and specific functions to existing GPS-only source code may lead to non-optimal performance. BLADE was initially designed as a complete GNSS multiband engine (GPS+GLONASS+SBAS or other GNSS signals, L1&L2 or other bands) to support a very wide range of RTK applications from classic RTK/DGNSS rover against static Base/Network up to exotic applications like RTK against a moving base or attitude determination.

The universal and flexible implementation of BLADE allows Ashtech to use the same engine without any changes in different RTK products from L1 GPS+SBAS RTK (ProMark3 RTK) up to GPS+GLONASS+SBAS RTK (ProMark 500) and beyond. Thanks to the initial flexible design, BLADE can easily absorb all future incoming signals, such as GPS L2C and L5, GLONASS CDMA and L5 and Galileo. State-of-the-art coding allows the easy porting of BLADE to different platforms/OS. It can be used as the core of an OEM GNSS solution or as a separate RTK application running on 3rd party processors. The BLADE engine is also the core of Ashtech’s GNSS Solutions™ office software for data post processing. When used in post processing applications, BLADE can be run forward and backward many times to achieve post-processing performance that is better than real-time performance...
