Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
GNSS signals are vulnerable to interference due to being extremely weak when received on Earth’s surface. Therefore, even a low-power interference signal can easily disrupt the operation of commercial GNSS receivers within a range of several kilometers.

This webinar was presented on Thursday, April 7, 2016, as Inside GNSS continued its series of web seminars focusing on the rapidly expanding field unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a webinar sponsored by Applanix Corporation.
The recent adoption of UAVs for airborne mapping applications promises to greatly reduce the cost and complexity of collecting geospatial data and images for a broad range of applications.

Sandy Kennedy and her husband Arlin Amundrud>>Sandy Kennedy’s Compass Points
Sandy Kennedy grew up in Miami. Miami, Manitoba, Canada, that is — a town of 150 people with a school, a café, a defunct railroad station, and an ice skating rink.
Now she’s director and chief engineer in charge of receiver core cards at NovAtel Inc., a developer and manufacturer of high-precision GNSS products headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It’s a long way from where she started, but then again, maybe not.

SBAS and RNSS: The Unsung Heroes of GNSS
Okay, if I had wanted to pander to GNSS fans, I might have called this, “Making Great Greater.”
But there are only so many superlatives that can be lathered on this remarkable technology before simple praise turns into hagiography.
So, it’s time once more to give a little love to those unsung heroes of GNSS: the augmentations and regional navigation satellite systems.
