Self-driving cars are becoming an increasingly common sight in pioneering states like California and Arizona. Drones, tractors, and other machines also now have the capability to drive and operate themselves. Fully automated (or autonomous) vehicles are still a few years away, but several car manufacturers like Tesla and Mercedes-Benz have already rolled out semi-autonomous systems. […]

Apart from military and government uses, the Global Positioning System (GPS) or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has proven to be very useful to the commercial sector. To produce high-quality products and services, companies must calibrate their GPS or GNSS devices or networks to assure customers of their efficiency and accuracy. To do so, they […]

GNSS/INS Simulation Systems are used to minimize errors in GPS readings by a thorough analysis of different factors that can affect a GPS system. A GPS/INS Simulation system takes these factors and applies appropriate alterations to the system. This provides the user more accurate results, all while remaining in the safety of a simulation. How […]

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) launch of the Galileo Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) was a significant achievement for its Space Strategy. The result was an ambitious bid to build the world’s most reliable and accurate satellite navigation system. Launching four brand-new satellites as part of its GNSS constellation, the ESA hoped to demonstrate its […]

It’s no secret that some objects need no reinvention. The wheel is a perfect example; it has been a staple in human civilizations for millennia. Gold also passes as one of immaculate value. In the navigation world, only one thing can come close to this status: the GNSS-INS combination. Each technique makes up for what […]
