A: Since at least 1997, the Global Positioning System (GPS) Control Segment (CS) has issued what are known as “Notice Advisor(ies) to NAVSTAR Users” or “NANU(s).”
By Inside GNSSAccording to a presentation by China’s Satellite Navigation System Management Office, the value of industries related to the country’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) will surpass 1 trillion yuan (about 156.4 billion U.S. dollars) by 2025.
By Inside GNSSMulti-antenna carrier-phase differential GNSS (CDGNSS)-based pose (position and orientation) estimation aided by monocular visual measurements and a smartphone-grade inertial sensor form the core of a system designed for micro aerial vehicles. It can be applied generally for low-cost, lightweight, high-accuracy, geo-referenced pose estimation.
The year 2020 was definitely one for the history books. The global pandemic forever changed life as we know it, and in its midst, our GPS development and production teams launched us deep into a new era of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities.
By Inside GNSSThe Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded Northrop Grumman a $13.3 million contract Phase 2 of the Blackjack program to “advance its Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) payload through emulation and Critical Design Review, and build PNT payload units destined for space flight.”
By Inside GNSSA consortium is preparing to ramp up production of Geonav IoT, a seamless indoor/outdoor positioning solution for sports applications, asset tracking and aiding drone traffic management. The GNSS module is a high-accuracy, dual-frequency system-on-chip with an integrated, low-power application processor.
Hexagon | NovAtel has introduced the PIM222A, part of a new family of automotive GNSS positioning products for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomy. The PIM222A delivers precise positioning, velocity and attitude in the most demanding applications for mass deployment in ADAS applications and autonomous vehicles.
By Inside GNSSOne hundred days into the administration and the federal civil service crew has set the stage for the Biden team on the tough Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) issues they face: the Ligado debacle, interference concerns and a troubling lack of system redundancy or resiliency.
Official broadcast for testing of the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) has begun. Users equipped with a receiver that is capable of acquiring this signal and extracting its data content can start observing and testing specific aspects of the HAS service
