Aircraft GPS Positioning and Orienting Procedures-All LIDAR data will be positioned using kinematic GPS [Global Positioning System] and oriented with an inertial system.... Kinematic GPS-All LIDAR data shall be positioned using airborne kinematic GPS using at least two GPS receivers. Receivers must be dual-frequency, geodetic quality receivers which are capable of collecting carrier phase data at one second intervals for post-processing and time-tagging LIDAR data. Data shall be collected from a minimum of four satellites,(five or more preferred) at both the aircraft and the ground GPS station. 3, record 3, English, - airborne%20kinematic%20Global%20Positioning%20System
