Designing Next Generation GNSS Receivers Using the Software Approach. GNSS products & services are continually being developed to make Australian farmers & miners more productive, road transport & air & marine navigation safer, & geospatial data capture more efficient. The value of GNSS products & services will grow rapidly, and may be over a billion dollars pa in Australia by the end of the decade.

GNSS products & services are continually being developed to make Australian farmers & miners more productive, road transport & air & marine navigation safer, & geospatial data capture more efficient. The value of GNSS products & services will grow rapidly, and may be over a billion dollars pa in Australia by the end of the decade. In addition, the impact on society of ubiquitous positioning made possible using GNSS will be profound. GNSS devices will be embedded within mobilephones, consumer items, clothing & other personal effects. An enhancement of Australia's R&D capabilities as proposed in this project will allow new GNSS receiver designs to be quickly developed & tested that take advantage of the next generation GNSS signals.Read moreRead less
A combined inertial, satellite & terrestrial signal navigation device for high accuracy positioning & orientation of underground imaging systems. The 'holy grail' of the mapping community is ubiquitous, cm-level accuracy positioning/orientation in all outdoor environments with a minimum installed infrastructure and operational complexity. There is currently no system able to address such needs. The integration of an Australian-developed technology within the standard GPS/inertial navigation conf ....A combined inertial, satellite & terrestrial signal navigation device for high accuracy positioning & orientation of underground imaging systems. The 'holy grail' of the mapping community is ubiquitous, cm-level accuracy positioning/orientation in all outdoor environments with a minimum installed infrastructure and operational complexity. There is currently no system able to address such needs. The integration of an Australian-developed technology within the standard GPS/inertial navigation configuration would be a truly ground-breaking achievement. This would represent a significant enhancement of Australia's capacity to develop high-value navigation products and services, and the proposed project outcomes align closely with National Research Priority 3, and address the 'Frontier Technologies and Smart Information Use' priority goals.Read moreRead less
