| Global Positioning Systems |
Trying to figure out where one is or where one is going is probably one of man's oldest pastimes. Navigation and positioning are crucial to so many activities and yet the process has always been quite cumbersome.
QinetiQ's experience of developing robust technology for
extreme defence environments means that our Global Positioning
System (GPS) solutions have unrivalled levels of integrity,
continuity and availability.
GPS is a worldwide radio-navigation system formed from a constellation of satellites and their ground stations. GPS uses these "man-made stars" as reference points to calculate positions accurate to a matter of metres.
GPS receivers have been miniaturised to just a few integrated circuits and so are becoming very economical. And that makes the technology accessible to virtually everyone.
In urban and indoor environments our technology provides
greatly increased availability of position and timing
solutions. In many cases even the GPS antenna can be eliminated
saving cost and improving the form factor of customers'
products.
Today GPS is finding its way into cars, boats, planes, construction equipment, movie making gear, farm machinery, even laptop computers.
QinetiQ's GPS solutions are aiding weapon evaluation and
range safety, less security sensitive military operations,
vehicle trajectory as well as tracking of people in the
Emergency Services.
