Septentrio and CORE partner up to develop a GPS/GNSS receiver which will make use of Japan’s Centimeter-Level Augmentation Service (CLAS). CLAS corrections are broadcast directly via QZSS constellation to enable high-accuracy positioning across Japan. Septentrio, a leader in high-precision GNSS technology, and CORE, a Japanese system integrator with extensive experience in GNSS, are jointly developing a receiver that can use the Centimeter-Level Augmentation Service (CLAS) of Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). Septentrio’s multi-frequency GPS/GNSS receiver […]

The Russian Space Systems company, together with the Polar Initiative scientific and information centre, have developed requirements for receivers of satellite navigation systems for use in the Arctic, the company, which is a part of State Space Corporation Roscosmos, said. “The relevant state standard (GOST) is planned to be submitted to Rosstandart [Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology] for approval before the end of this year. Its adoption will become the […]

Raytheon plans to deliver the final phase of the GPS Ground Control System (OCX) upgrade to the United States Air Force by June 2021, despite past delays to the program. A report by the General Accountability Office (GAO), issued in May, said the Air Force has yet to develop full cost estimates for the new ground system, as well as the user equipment needed to access the expanded capabilities of GPS III. In the report, […]

Navigating to within three inches of your destination is made possible by algorithms and software developed by NASA. These power a NASA system that augments the raw navigation signals provided by the U.S. Air Force’s GPS satellites to support airplane navigation around the world, direct emergency responders and, soon, guide self-driving cars. The Air Force began launching global positioning satellites in 1978, and it continues to operate and maintain the satellite network […]

Photo: Tallysman Tallysman GNSS has added three new antennas to its Helical antenna line. Released earlier this year, the helical antenna line provides unprecedented performance in a lightweight, compact form factor. The line now extends beyond dual-band GNSS and Iridium support to also include single and triple GNSS frequency bands. Tallysman helical antennas are designed for applications that require high performance and versatility, with an absolute minimum of weight, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). […]

October 2, 2019 Missing has always just been a part of life for a clay shooter. A part of life that has been, frankly, infuriating. How many times have we stood there, after we’ve pulled the trigger, watching an intact clay spinning into the horizon, scratching our head, asking “How on earth did I miss that?” Or worse yet, having one or two misses, going on tilt, and ultimately crumbling on the line as zeros […]
