  • The JAVAD GNSS TRIUMPH-F1 UAV

    JAVAD GNSS is introducing its new unmanned aerial vehicle with the dramatic flourish of a video showing the UAV in flight, accompanied by the “Also Sprach Zarathustra” theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    The TRIUMPH-F1 unmanned aerial vehicle is based on the JAVAD GNSS TRIUMPH-1. TRIUMPH-1 is the company’s field-tested high-precision geodetic GNSS receiver with 864 channels to track all current and future GNSS signals.

    When used on the ground, the TRIUMPH-F1 can function as a TRIUMPH-1 base or rover. The four motor arms (for eight motors) are detachable. There are four screw inserts in the bottom to attach the TRIUMPH-F1 to a pole mount for field use.

  • Galileo Towards the Future

    GalileoVideo-W

    The special significance of next Thursday’s launch for the Galileo system as a whole is highlighted in a new video by the European Space Agency, with an interview with Didier Faivre, Galileo Program director.

    On August 21, ESA will launch two more Galileo satellites on a Soyuz rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The satellites mark the beginning of a new phase for Galileo, the deployment phase, which will secure the completion of the constellation thanks to accelerated production of satellites and supported by regular launches.

    At the same time, ESA and the European Union also look toward the future and are preparing the evolution of Galileo.

  • IRNSS-1B Launched into Orbit

    India’s Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its second navigation satellite today, April 4, at 11:44 UTC. A Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket launched the IRNSS-1B spacecraft in a mission originating from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. Read more here.

  • Project Tango: Google’s 3D Mapping Smartphone

    Google has been collaborating with universities, research labs, and industrial partners in nine countries, to concentrate the past 10 years of research in robotics and computer vision into a mobile phone.

    Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) heads the project, which aims to make it possible to create a 3D model of the space around a smartphone. For instance, a user can map an area, such as a home, by walking around with the phone.

  • Detect and Locate GPS Jamming: Provide Actionable Intelligence

    Detect and Locate GPS Jamming: Provide Actionable Intelligence

    Sponsored by: Exelis
    Original Broadcast Date: Thursday, December 5, 2013
    Moderator: Don Jewell, Editor, Defense PNT Newsletter
    Speakers: Jeff Coffed, Product Marketing Manager, Exelis Inc.; Carl Slutsky, Product Manager for Signal Sentry 1000, Exelis
    Panelists: Joseph Rolli, Signal Sentry Business Manager, Exelis; Jon Schnabel, Chief Scientist, Geospatial Systems, Exelis
    Summary: The Global Positioning System—GPS—is an essential element of the global information infrastructure and supports nearly every facet of modern life. However, the availability and usage of low-cost GPS jamming devices has resulted in the increased threat of intentional and unintentional disruption to commercial and industrial systems that rely on precise GPS data. That is why Exelis developed Signal Sentry 1000, a solution that enables authorities to locate with pin-point accuracy the sources of interference thereby assuring safety, efficiency, and revenue. This webinar will discuss the threat and Signal Sentry. This webcast will be of interest to anyone whose organization relies on GPS for information or commerce.

    Moderator:     Tony Murfin, Editor, Professional OEM newsletter
    Speakers: Olivier Casabianca,     Business Area Manager, Trimble GNSS OEM; Hal Adams, Co-founder/Chief Operating Officer, Accord Technology; Neil Gerein, Defense Product Manager, NovAtel; Eric Brewer, Senior Systems Engineer, Rockwell Collins; and Howard William Loewen, President, MicroPilot Inc.
    Summary:     In recent years, there has been explosive growth in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market segment, with most on-board navigation systems relying on GNSS or GNSS with inertial aiding. As military budgets decline, interest in civilian commercial applications is growing rapidly.  The FAA recently awarded special type certification to two UAVs for commercial Arctic operations, and the industry is now poised for the opening of the regulation floodgates to address a growing commercial demand. In this webcast, we will hear from some of the industry leaders in GNSS-based navigation for UAVs, in both the military and civilian sectors: they will tell us what they are doing in UAV navigation and where they see this exciting market going.
