Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
When a plane attempts to land at the airport in poor visibility, signals from the instrument landing system (ISL) will help safely guide the aircraft to the ground. Such terrestrial air landing systems must be tested to ensure the navigation they’re providing is reliable.

Space is a mess. That according to the European Space Agency (ESA), which estimates there are 36,500 pieces of space debris orbiting the earth of greater than 10cm in size, and one million pieces between 1cm and 10cm. The number of smaller yet still dangerous objects is too staggering to contemplate.

Positioning is the fundamental prerequisite for autonomy—and both absolute (global) and relative (local) information is required. While a critical piece, GNSS and inertial need to be combined with other sensors, like cameras, to perceive the surrounding environment to enable autonomous navigation.
