Spirent Communications will unveil its enhanced GSS9000 Series GNSS constellation simulator at ION GNSS+ 2019 in Miami, which will take place Sept. 16–20. It joins Spirent’s already impressive range of test solutions on display at the world’s largest showcase of GNSS technology, products and services.

“The industry is at a very important point,” said Spirent Marketing Director Steve Hickling. “With the volume of GNSS signals growing, more multi-constellation receivers being developed every day, and the need for greater precision increasing all the time, it’s vital that testing solutions are able to stay ahead of this reality. This is why we’re excited to demonstrate the enhanced GSS9000 Series at ION.”

The GSS9000 Series constellation simulator has been improved with enriched features and enhanced capabilities combined with an increased channel capacity. Most importantly, this greater flexibility, coherence, fidelity, performance, accuracy and reliability is maintained under all test conditions.

At ION, Spirent (booth E) will also be showing its GSS6450 — the highly portable 16-bit RF record and playback system — and the GSS7000 series multi-frequency, multi-GNSS RF simulation solution. Visitors can also learn more about Spirent’s realistic multipath and obscuration simulation tool, the new Sim3D.

Spirent’s expertise will also be demonstrated during three ION GNSS+ speaking panels:
1. “Simulating Realistic Ionospheric Scintillation of GPS Signals for Robust PNT Testing,” presented by Spirent’s Talini Pinto Jayawardena
2. “Development of Array Receivers with Anti-Jamming and Anti-Spoofing Capabilities with Help of Multi-Antenna GNSS Signal Simulators,” presented by German Aerospace Center’s Andriy Konovaltsev
3. “Robust and Resilient PNT in Autonomous systems — the Need for the Development and Testing of Both Offensive and Defensive Technology,” reserve paper to be presented by Spirent CAV software engineer Felix Krefft

Government shutdown causes ION to reschedule autonomous conference

Due to the extended impasse between U.S. Congressional leaders and the White House that has created a partial U.S. government shutdown, the Institute of Navigation (ION) has decided to postpone the Cognizant Autonomous Systems for Safety Critical Applications (CASSCA) Conference, originally scheduled to take place Jan. 28-29 at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston, Virginia.

The government shutdown has impacted CASSCA speakers and attendees and brought uncertainty about the number of government officials working in autonomous systems who are currently furloughed, making this decision inevitable.

The CASSCA Conference has been rescheduled for Sept. 16-17 in Miami, in parallel with ION GNSS+.

“The ION is committed to this strong and dynamic technical program and is confident this venue will provide maximum exposure and networking opportunities for the highly esteemed invited speakers and conference attendees,” the institute said in a press release. A revised program is available.

The ION’s International Technical Meeting (ITM) and Precise Time and Time Interval (PTTI) Systems and Applications meeting will proceed as scheduled, Jan.28-31, at the Hyatt Regency Reston, Reston, Virginia. ITM/PTTI 2019 is heavily supported by academia, industry and the U.S. Department of Defense; ITM/PTTI pre-registration levels are currently trending ahead of 2018 and the technical program is strong.

Abstract submissions open for ION GNSS+ 2019

ION GNSS+ 2019 organizers are accepting abstracts for the conference, which is set to take place Sept. 16-20 in Miami.

The conference, themed, “GNSS + Other Sensors in Today’s Marketplace,” will feature two tracks: the commercial and policy tracks and research track.

The commercial and policy tracks cover mass market and commercial applications, current status and future trends in GNSS, and high performance and safety critical applications. The research track will cover autonomous systems technology, robust multi-sensor navigation and advanced GNSS.

According to show organizers, authors whose abstracts are accepted in these sessions (either as a primary or as an alternate presenter) will have the option to have their paper peer-reviewed.

ION GNSS+ is a technical meeting and showcase of GNSS technology, products and services. The show gathers international leaders in GNSS and related positioning, navigation and timing fields to present new research, introduce new technologies, update current policy, demonstrate products and exchange ideas.
