VectorNav showcased its new VN-310 at the recent InterGeo expo in Berlin and at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2020 conference in Washington, D.C. The VN-310 is a tactical-grade, high-performance dual antenna GNSS-aided inertial navigation system (Dual GNSS/INS).
By Inside GNSS Data fusion from a range of sensors — GNSS, inertial, LiDAR, radar and more — to enable autonomous navigation is a highly complex operation that requires very sophisticated software stacks. A free webinar on October 27 presents leading-edge research and development in this realm that brings modular solutions ready to hand.
By Inside GNSS Hexagon | NovAtel has announced a firmware release for its OEM7 and PwrPak7 receivers that enables tracking of BeiDou B2b GNSS signals on Phase III satellites. The 7.08.00 (OM7MR0800RN0000) release allows the receivers to track all of the new BeiDou B1C, B2a and B2b signals.
By Inside GNSS Leidos showcased its system for airborne navigation in GPS-denied environments at the recent Association of the United States Army (AUSA) 2020 conference in Washington, D.C., October 11–13.The system, called Assured Data Engine for Positioning and Timing (ADEPT), compares the high-resolution camera view below a plane to a detailed satellite map.

Ambiguity resolution combined with multiple constellations and multiple frequencies proves very effective in reducing Precise Point Positioning convergence time. Such a solution with a 30° mask has a shorter convergence than a float multi-GNSS solution without any obstructions, despite the latter using more satellites.
