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.

Combining high-performance MEMS tactical inertial sensor with a quad-constellation, dual-antenna GNSS receiver, Ekinox Micro is the logical choice for mission-critical applications. It meets theMIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1275, and MIL-STD-810 standards, ensuring reliable and accurate performance even in the harshest environments.

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.

Because of its vulnerabilities to spoofing and jamming, critical infrastructure can no longer rely on GNSS alone for PNT. Alternative sources must be part of the equation, which is why Adtran recently partnered with Satelles to add Satellite Time and Location (STL) capabilities to its Oscilloquartz synchronization products.
