== History ==

'''Applanix''', founded in February 1991 as Applied Analytics Corporation, is a spin-off of [Honeywell](/source/Honeywell)'s Advanced Technology Centre.  In its first two years of its operation, Applied Analytics provided engineering services in integrated inertial systems and real-time image processing for aerospace.  Since 1993, and through an extensive technology conversion effort, Applanix has increasingly specialized in providing off-the-shelf Position and Orientation Systems (POS) using integrated inertial/GPS technology.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=ISPRS Highlights |volume=4 |issue=2 |date=June 1999 |url=http://www.isprs.org/publications/highlights/highlights0402/profile_of_new_sustaining_members.html |title=Profile of New Sustaining Members |publisher=International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing |url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070814065053/http://www.isprs.org/publications/highlights/highlights0402/profile_of_new_sustaining_members.html |archivedate=2007-08-14 }}</ref>
