Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
In the fast-moving world of autonomous systems and advanced navigation platforms, precision and reliability are paramount. From unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to autonomous ground vehicles (AGVs), the inertial measurement unit (IMU) plays a vital role in providing the critical data required for real-time navigation, stabilization and system control.

Uninterrupted access to satellite navigation is essential in our modern world, but it is threatened daily by external interference, such as jamming and spoofing. New technologies and concepts can help increase the resilience of our satellite navigation solutions. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Leonardo are embarking on a joint project to explore smart antennas powered by Machine Learning to block unwanted signals.
