Enhanced Shipboard Navigation (Navy)
Abstract
This effort tests the capability of a multi-constellation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver to function as an additional navigation source to existing military Global Positioning System (GPS) solutions for U.S. Naval surface ships and airborne applications. This testing will provide valuable insight into the potential benefits of using these signals in a U.S. military environment. Differences in positioning and timing between the foreign GNSS receiver and the platform's principal military GPS receiver may indicate to the platform that it should select an alternate, non-satellite navigation source. Completed anechoic chamber test equipment modifications and initiated final testing in FY 2017. Although this project did not meet the one million dollar threshold, it was included in this section because of a large investment in FY 2016.
