The Arro is initially being released to support OmniSTAR VBS global
positioning service, which is rated at a static accuracy of 24 inches
and also supports the free WAAS signal rated at 40 inches static
accuracy. On a 15 minute pass-to-pass basis, the accuracy of these
signals significantly improves.
The system has a silicon gyro that smooths the lines delivered by
satellite signals, providing better ground accuracy.
It will also have the ability to work with the ISO CANbus system, which
is becoming available in most new tractors.
