DGON Inertial Sensors and Systems 2016

At the 2015 symposium

The German Institute of Navigation’s (DGON) 2016 symposium on inertial sensors and systems, ISS, and gyro technology will take place in Tulla Hall at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) on September 20 and 21.

As modern systems for navigation, localization and guidance are increasingly making use of supporting data from non-inertial sensors, the conference particularly appreciates papers on hybrid systems, those that fuse inertial with GNSS, visual, infrared, radar or other sensors.

SWW 2016: Space Weather Workshop

NASA image: effects of space weather on technology

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center will hold it’s annual Space Weather Workshop at the Omni Interlocken Hotel in Broomfield, Colorado (10 minutes from Boulder) from April  26 to 29, 2016.

Billed as "The Meeting of Science, Research Applications, Operations and Users," what began as a small conference in 1996 is now a major event addressing the diverse impacts of space weather on critical technology, including communications, navigation, spacecraft operations, aviation and electric power.

Making Good Better

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.

GNSS Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems

Working Papers explore the technical and scientific themes that underpin GNSS programs and applications. This regular column is coordinated by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Günter Hein, head of Europe’s Galileo Operations and Evolution.

With the support of the European Space Agency (ESA), a European team designed a frequency- and time-transfer process and validated its performance in a complex navigation test bed. This two-way time-transfer technology took advantage of the following:
