2PAS 150MP MK2 Overview
The PAS 150MP MK2 is a fully integrated solution based on the iXM-RS150F camera. The aerial system
comprises the camera(s), Phase One iX Controller with an integrated Applanix GNSS, IMU and SOMAG
mount.
Two configurations are available:
•Single-Band system
•4-Band system
2.1 Hardware for Single Band System
The following figure shows the main components of the single-band system.
2.1.1 iX Controller
The iX Controller is the communication center, and 1 TB data storage for the PAS. Based on Microsoft
Windows 10, it is responsible for controlling power and communication for all ancillary systems. The storage
solution consists of 2 x 500 GB SATA SSDs.
The iX Controller includes an integrated Applanix AP+ GNSS.

2.1.2 iXM-RS150F Camera Head and Lenses
The iXM-RS150F camera is equipped with a full-frame sensor (14,204 x 10,652 pixels), and a 3.76 micrometer
pixel that enables high ground resolution from high flight altitudes. It provides large aerial coverage resulting
in higher aerial survey productivity.
The camera comes with one of eight RS lenses ranging from 32mm to 180mm focal length, and the 300mm
RSM lens, all equipped with a central leaf shutter to ensure geometrically correct aerial images.
Designed and built for aerial photography by Rodenstock and Schneider-Kreuznach, the lenses are factory
calibrated for infinity focus and equipped with a central leaf shutter with a speed to up to 1/2500 sec. The
150MP camera offers high capture speed of 2fps for an array of flight conditions. The RS lenses opening
angle is specially fitted for oblique and lidar systems.
2.1.3 SOMAG CSM 40 Mount
The SOMAG CSM 40 is a compact modular mount specially fitted for Phase One aerial systems. With a low
weight of 5.2kg, the mount is particularly suitable for use on light aircraft.

2.1.4 Single-Band Frame
The single-band frame enables mounting the camera and the IMU.
2.1.5 Applanix GNSS/IMU
The Applanix GNSS/IMU contains a precision GNSS receiver and inertial sensor components, logging
capability, and interfaces for mapping sensors and flight management systems.
Data such as geographic position (latitude, longitude and attitude), velocity, acceleration, angular rate,
orientation (roll and pitch), ground track and performance metrics are available in real-time and through
post-processing.
The Applanix GNSS/IMU is comprised of the Applanix AP+ card integrated in the iX Controller. The Applanix
AP+ cards can be used with the following IMU models:
AP+ 180 with IMU-69 or with internal IMU-79.
AP+ 310 with IMU-82
AP+ 510 with IMU-91
AP+ 610 with IMU-57
Note
For detailed information on the differences between the above Applanix GNSS/IMUs, refer to
www.applanix.com
The Applanix GNSS is configured and managed through a browser-based application supported by the
Applanix AP+ card. You can access the application through the shortcut on the iX Controller software
taskbar.

2.1.6 Trimble AV39 Antenna
The Trimble AV39 antenna is a lightweight, TSO certified antenna that provides centimeter precision with
superior phase center repeatability. The antenna is powered by the Applanix AP+ card in the iX Controller
via a coaxial cable supplied with the antenna.
2.1.7 Monitor Kit
The monitor kit allows full control and flight feedback of the PAS 150MP MK2. The monitor kit consists of the
following monitors:
•pilot monitor
•operator monitor
2.1.7.1 Pilot Monitor
The 7” pilot monitor provides all flight information from iX Flight Pro, ensuring that the pilot has all required
information to conduct a successful survey mission. The touch screen allows the pilot to perform several
quick-access operations in iX Flight Pro (map display, zoom, line selection).
