Disruptive Military Navigation Architectures

Within the radio spectrum between 80 MHz and 3 GHz there are many signals that can augment and substitute for GPS navigation. However, current military user equipment is incapable of receiving or processing these signals. This precludes the use of many signals that are already available, plus those new frequencies and signals of opportunity that may be expected to appear over the next few years. Nu-Trek is proposing to develop a suite of game-changing RF navigation tools, an"RF-Nav Tool Box,"that makes the entire RF spectrum between 80 MHz and 3 GHz easily accessible for navigation, enabling a broad range of RF-based user equipment. The RF-based user equipment will typically be combined with other types of navigation aids to provide extremely robust and reliable positioning, navigation, and timing information.
