CAST Navigation will exhibit at this year’s ION International Technical Meeting, being held January 23-26 in Long Beach, California. Visit us at Booth 4 between ITM to learn more about our simulation capabilities
With over four decade’s experience, CAST Navigation has a proven record of delivering results for military and commercial customers. Our solutions include one or more simulation capabilities:
GNSS: Generate precise and repeatable GNSS RF signals from up to sixteen visible satellites for each antenna element. Configure scenarios to simulate simultaneously up to four different constellation types. CAST-GNSS simulators support all GPS signal types, including M-Code MNSA.
CRPA: Test phased-array antenna systems in a laboratory environment with CAST-CRPA simulators. Our systems generate a precise, coherent, and repeatable RF wavefront for each CRPA antenna element. Add IMU signals to stimulate embedded GPS/INS (EGI) and other modern navigation systems.
Inertial: Stimulate INS and GNSS/INS navigation systems with high-fidelity, high-rate inertial data from a CAST-Inertial simulator. Whether the inertial sensor and GNSS receiver are loosely, tightly, or ultra-tightly coupled, our systems generate dynamic signals to meet the most extreme scenario.
Jamming: CAST-Jammer sub-systems let you add natural and adversarial interference to your antenna and GNSS testing applications. Our systems deliver up to eight independently-controlled waveform types to as many as eight antenna output elements. Proprietary FPGA technology delivers clean, powerful waveforms with very low intermodulation noise.
You will see how our simulators’ intuitive graphical interfaces let you create sophisticated, real-world simulation scenarios by setting variables including: CAST Navigation will exhibit at this year’s ION International Technical Meeting, being held
