truFYX is the world’s first Technical Standard Order (TSO) certified SBAS Global Positioning System (GPS) position source designed specifically for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) autopilots and Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B) OUT solutions. The truFYX incorporates the GPS receiver and antenna into a single 24mm radius / 20g waterproof enclosure.

Reduce your onboard GPS count by leveraging truFYX as the primary position source to your autopilot and ADS-B solution.

FAA TSO Certified

FAA TSO-C145e, Class Beta 1 GPS provides for:

Primary position source for domestic en route, terminal, approach (LNAV), and departure navigation

An aircraft is only as reliable as the weakest link. Many operators invest a fortune into equipment to ensure a stable system but are forced to settle for a consumer-level GPS source. truFYX brings aviation integrity and design assurance to all aircraft including UAS and UAM.

Performance Based Navigation (PBN)

PBN is the art, science, and engineering of an aircraft’s ability to navigate using performance standards
and understanding with complete confidence the amount of trust you can place on the calculated
position. Don’t trust your mission to an unknown. Navigate with confidence.

Certified Aviation Grade Technology

truFYX is the only TSO certified GPS developed for UAS BVLOS and Type Certification requirements at the core of the design. truFYX is certified to TSO-C145e, developed to DO-178 and DO-254, and tested to DO-160G environmental standards. truFYX is critical and reliable component of your UAS platform.

ADS-B Compliance

Being ADS-B compliant is more than just the transponder. A position source with integrity is equally important and required for worldwide regulations.

Resistance

truFYX provides increased resistance to GPS constellation errors through receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) and fault detection and exclusion (FDE) which automatically monitors the health of the satellite constellation and removes any suspect satellites from the position calculation. Enhanced accuracy is achieved through optional ionospheric corrections.

Integrity = Trust

It’s 9 PM, do you know where your drone is? Do you know you can trust the position your GPS is
reporting? An aviation-grade GPS with integrity like truFYX delivers not only accuracy but also integrity metrics that inform you just how trusted its calculation is. Integrity does not exist in an off-the-shelf commercial GPS.

Safe for Passenger Operations

ruFYX is the first TSO Certified GPS Position Source that brings a heritage of aviation-grade standards and reliability to UAS operations. Leveraging the same advanced fault detection and exclusion technology trusted by over 20,000+ manned aircraft – truFYX ensures your autopilot and ADS-B systems are only using the highest integrity data available.

Designed for Agriculture

Would you bet your aircraft on a cellphone GPS? truFYX is the only FAA TSO Certified GPS source for all missions and conditions. Developed to DO-178 and DO-254, tested to DO-160G environmental standards, and manufactured in an FAA inspected facility, truFYX is entirely different from consumer-grade GPS.

One GPS for any Payload

As UAS operations grow and new regulations and mandates are introduced, truFYX is a critical component designed to adapt and grow with the industry and satisfy current and future regulations.
