Research abstract
Optical Physics Company (OPC) is proposing a GPS independent navigation solution which will apply to a variety of platforms from vehicles on the ground to spacecraft in GEO. The approach offers game changing capability, minimal infrastructure costs, and ability to operate in completely RF-jammed environments. During Phase I, OPC will model the complete architecture, identifying all enabling technologies, from both the navigation infrastructure and the navigation platform perspectives, and assessing costs and technology readiness levels. A key goal is to employ technologies and components that are TRL 5/6 or higher in order to minimize risks and deployment timelines for the proposed new disruptive navigation architecture.
