GNSS and the Surveyor: Take Me to School

March 1, 2017 - By

The adaptation of GPS for civilian use is the single greatest step taken by  the land surveyor, more specifically the advance to  real-time kinematic networks. Now unmanned aerial vehicles enable data collection in places thought impossible previously, and laser/LiDAR scanners are on the horizon as the next game-changer. But how did we get here? An understanding of our history can... read more

PNT Roundup: Scaling down GPS-reliant devices

March 1, 2017 - By

By Ramki Ramakrishnan In many respects, the story of innovation in electronics has been about miniaturization: designers pack more features, functionality and performance into electronics that are smaller, lighter and more power-efficient. However, this has traditionally been applied only to a limited extent to atomic clocks, which electronic devices employ to maintain correct time if their GPS signal is lost.... read more
