Research abstract
It is important to have accurate and reliable position, velocity, attitude, and time information. Spectral Energies, LLC (SE) shall develop Machine Learning (ML) and data fusion algorithms to fuse navigational cues from various external sources. During Phase I, SE designed, built and demonstrated a proof-of-concept device that obtains very-low frequency (VLF) signals and processed them for navigation purposes. In addition, SE developed and demonstrated a bio-inspired and pattern-based algorithms that uses the Earth’s magnetic field for navigation. During Phase II, SE proposes to refine the two approaches, fuse them together, and then demonstrate a prototype, aided INS. Approved for Public Release | 22-MDA-11340 (16 Dec 22)
