Goodbye, GPS Wing; Hello, GPS Directorate

The U.S. Air Force will inactivate its GPS Wing at Los Angeles Air Force Base on Wednesday (November 10) and replace it with the Global Positioning Systems Directorate.

Reflecting mostly the taxonomy and naming conventions of military commands and organization, the new designation is expected to bring little change in the new organization’s leadership or scope of responsibilities, although the organization will no longer have headquarters status. Air Force Groups will become Divisions and Squadrons, Branches.

Spirent, AGI Announce Joint Software Integration

Spirent and Analytical Graphics, Inc. (AGI) have announced the integration of AGI’s STK (Satellite Tool Kit) and Spirent’s SimGEN software.

Spirent says the link enables the software packages to communicate to allow trajectories created in STL to be used readily to define the motion in Spirent’s hardware GNSS simulators. SimGEN test-case motion also can be visualized in STK.

Prof. David Last at DSKTN symposium

The noise floor seems to be rising on the subject of GNSS vulnerability to jamming and interference. Recently, the United Kingdom provided the locus for a trio of initiatives that reflect growing anxieties about the widespread global dependence of critical position, navigation, and timing (PNT) applications and infrastructures on the low-power signals from space.
