Research abstract

AstraNav converts magnetic fields into 3D geolocation data, calling this M-GPSTM . M-GPS is low-power, emission-free, and uses existing hardware. M-GPS software is platform-agnostic and can run on any OS Ś from mobile handsets and microprocessors to complex embedded systems. Magnetic field sensors (magnetometers) are in billions of existing devices including navigation systems, autopilots, all smartphones, and countless other platforms. AstraNav has no additional infrastructure , nor additional connectivity requirements and works everywhere, always. This reduces the DOD, DAF, partner and alliesÆ reliance upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) which is vulnerable to jamming, anti-satellite weapons and spoofing.
