ArduSimple launches GNSS starter kit with cm precision positioning

June 17, 2022 - By

ArduSimple has announced the availability of a range of GNSS starter kits for anyone in Europe or the United States who is interested in testing or integrating high-precision centimeter accuracy for a service or product proof of concept (PoC). Building a PoC for increasingly common applications such as autonomous vehicles, where high levels of positioning accuracy are required, is often... read more

Inertial Labs releases new versions of Kernel inertial measurement units

June 17, 2022 - By

Inertial Labs has announced new versions of its Kernel inertial measurement units (IMUs). The Kernel 110, 120, 210 and 220 are a set of compact, self-contained, strapdown industrial-grade (100 series) and tactical-grade (200 series) IMUs that measure linear acceleration and angular rates with three-axis micro-electromechanical (MEMS) accelerometers and three-axis MEMS gyroscopes. Fully calibrated, temperature compensated, mathematically aligned to an orthogonal... read more

Research Roundup: Navigating urban canyons

June 16, 2022 - By

GPS positioning for navigation and mapping is challenging in urban environments, where GPS signals often are blocked by tall buildings. The following three papers — to be presented at the Institute of Navigation (ION) GNSS+ conference Sept. 19–23, 2022 — explore ways to solve that problem. The full papers will be available at www.ion.org/publications/browse.cfm following the conference. ALGORITHMS FOR URBAN... read more

Editorial Advisory Board Q&A: The need for correction services

June 14, 2022 - By

Will GPS modernization and improvements in GPS receivers and antennas reduce or even eliminate the need for correction services for most applications?   “For most applications, I think the answer is yes, the need for correction services will be reduced. When you can get <1m without external corrections, the majority of conventional accuracy requirements are fulfilled. However, increases in accuracy... read more

Precision agriculture tech keeps tractors on task

June 14, 2022 - By

Precision agriculture refers to the ability of farmers to observe, measure and respond more precisely to the variability of soil and crop characteristics within and between fields by using maps of these characteristics and GNSS navigation. It enables them to reduce inputs of seed, water, fertilizer, pesticides and fuel while increasing outputs. Adoption of precision agriculture technology and practices has... read more

Reliable navigation with interference-free GNSS signals

June 14, 2022 - By

By Markus Irsigler and Sebastian Kehl-Waas Interference-free GNSS signals are essential for more than just military vehicles and aircraft. Anti-jam systems usually suppress signals from interference sources by means of spatial filtering. These solutions can likewise be used to protect satellite navigation signals for autonomous driving and flying against interference signals. To allow GNSS receivers to detect interference sources and... read more
