The most recent upgrade to the GPS ground control segment created an incompatibility issue with a specific type of military GPS receiver used on at least 86 different US weapon systems, some of which cannot be used until the problem is fixed, according to the US Air Force. In current circumstances, approximately 8,000 to 10,000 …
Michel Bosco, the European Commission`s GNSS Coordinator for Applications, was in Taiwan to take part in the 2010 Galileo Executive Forum. Bosco called upon Taiwan high-technology companies including MediaTek Inc., SkyTraq Technology Inc., Garmin Corp., and Quanta Computer Inc. to discuss possible cooperation opportunities. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) estimated that Taiwanese companies are …
The Engineering Model of the Galileo In- Orbit Verification satellites has completed several phases of testing in cooperation with the ground segment and is now being prepared for electromagnetic compatibility testing. The second in a series of System Validation Tests (SVT-0B1) has been executed from the Galileo Launch and Early Orbit Phase Operations Control Centre …
An industry group is attempting to drum up interest in the European Galileo satellite positioning system with a contest featuring £435,000 in prizes. The 2010 Competition looks to kick-start commercial exploitation of the Galileo system and has a large prize pot to get businesses interested. Winners from each country participating in the contest will also …

It is not the strongest,
Nor the most intelligent,
But the ones most responsive to change,
Survive.
So said Darwin.
With the advent of new species – Smart Phones, MIDs..
The landscape of satellite navigation industry is changing.
Once considered a powerful and promising navigation force,
The space of PND appears to be shrinking.
Probably there is a need to adapt.
And evolve.

The 746th Test Squadron (746 TS) recently completed qualification testing on the F-22 Raptor’s Global Inertial Navigation System (GINS). The program is the second of two iterations of major test efforts the 746 TS has conducted on the system since 2001…
From the early days of the development of basic navigational software built into satellite navigational receivers, it has been noted that for the sake of simplicity and a number of other reasons, this navigational software is often based on methods of limited accuracy [1]. It is surprising that even nowadays the use of navigational software is still used in a loose manner, sometimes ignoring basic principles and adopting oversimplified…
