2PAS Pana Overview
Note
•There are no user serviceable parts inside the PAS Pana or PAS Pana Controller. All warranties are void if access panels are
opened or cables not supplied by Phase One are connected, unless specifically instructed by Phase One personnel.
•Installation of the PAS Pana in an aircraft must be performed by certified personnel while following the relevant Civil Aviation
Authority regulations in the country of aircraft registration and operation. A Supplemental Type Certificate or Minor Change
may be required.
PAS Pana is a derivative of the PAS Pod family of products. The PAS Pana utilizes five RGB cameras and two NIR cameras to
maximize swath coverage.
PAS Pana provides 48,000 pixels across line of flight and 10,000 pixels along line of flight. With its high frame rate and large
coverage, high project efficiency is attained.

2.1 Hardware
2.1.1 PAS Pana Controller
The PAS Pana Controller is the communication center, and data storage for the PAS. Based on Microsoft Windows 10, it is
responsible for controlling power and communication for all ancillary systems.
A preconfigured precision GNSS-Inertial (AP+ AV) is integrated in the PAS Pana Controller.
The PAS Pana Controller contains three SSD drive bay frames that contain removable carriers with SATA SSDs that store the
captured images. Each carrier holds two 4 TB SSDs.
2.1.2 Cameras
The PAS Pana camera configuration is as follows:

The following figure shows the orientation of the PAS Pana cameras.
2.1.2.1 iXM-RS150F Camera
The iXM-RS150F camera is equipped with a full-frame sensor (14,204 x 10,652 pixels), using 3.76-micron pixel technology that
enables high ground resolution from high flight altitudes. It provides large aerial coverage resulting in higher aerial survey
productivity.
The PAS Pana iXM-150F cameras are fitted with RS150 mm lenses.
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.

2.1.2.2 iXM-RS150F Achromatic Camera
The iXM-RS150F achromatic camera provides NIR data in the spectral range of 720 nm-1000 nm.
The PAS Pana iXM-150F achromatic cameras are fitted with RS70 mm lens.
Post processing this data in combination with the iXM-RS150F RGB data allows output imagery as IRG/RGBi CIR products or NDVI.
2.1.3 SOMAG GSM 4000 Mount
The PAS Pana is mounted on a SOMAG GSM 4000 mount, a hydraulic gimbal containing four cylinders and two servo pumps.
Note
•PAS Pana can only operate with SOMAG GSM 4000 mounts with serial numbers 090236 and higher, or with earlier mounts that
were refurbished by SOMAG to the dual communication port configuration.
•
If you are providing the SOMAG GSM 4000, you also need to provide Vibration Damping Ring P/N 112300-228-02/04.

2.1.4 Applanix GNSS/IMU
The Applanix GNSS/IMU contains a precision GNSS receiver and inertial sensor components, logging capability, and interfaces for
cameras and flight management systems.
Data such as geographic position (latitude, longitude and altitude), 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 located in the PAS Pana Controller and the IMU-57.
The Applanix GNSS is configured and managed via a browser-based application supported by the Applanix AP+ card. You can access
the application through the shortcut on the PAS Pana Controller software taskbar.
2.1.5 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 connected to the PAS Pana Controller via a coaxial cable supplied with the antenna.
2.1.6 Monitor Kit
The monitor kit allows full control and flight feedback of the PAS Pana and includes the following:
•pilot monitor
•operator monitor
