Disruptive Navigation Architectures

ABSTRACT: This SBIR project develops disruptive navigation technologies using integrated communications/navigation technologies including adaptive space-time vector processing operating on novel atom-based precision inertial navigation systems, ultra-precision clocks, and other signals and sensors to cope with unique threats and environments. BENEFIT: The 21st Century is bringing with it a new revolution in the technology and infrastructure for position, navigation, and time with, on the one hand, new satellite constellations and signals, new precision atom-based inertial navigation systems, related sensors and clocks, high-speed communications, and parallel processing, and on the other hand, new threats for those objectives for precision navigation and time. The anticipated benefits of this technology will lead to disruptive navigation technology, satellite and related infrastructure that will lead to development of technology and software towards a"Gold Standard"of space-time vector signal processing and integrated new atom inertial, clocks, and communications/navigation technology that will provide great advantages to our military and nation while helping control the costs in an era of tight budgets.
