Discovery Projects - Grant ID: DP1093982

Funded Activity Summary

Preparing for the next generation global navigation satellite system era: developing and testing new user and reference station receiver designs. The gross accumulated benefits of the widespread adoption of Gnss technology in the mining, agriculture and construction sectors alone by 2030 could be between $66B and $126B, primarily due to improvements in Gnss machine guidance systems - energy savings, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, improved agricultural practices, etc. The national benefit would be enormous if the project could help facilitate the rapid and orderly introduction into Australia of high accuracy multi-constellation Gnss positioning technology. This project would also enable Australian researchers and industry to build up expertise in new Gnss signals and techniques, all crucial for supporting a local industry for next generation navigation products and services.
