your information.
With Laaser, any mobile
device delivers accurate location information about the
caller to 911 operators immediately. It does this using
existing infrastructure, so carriers, handset manufacturers
and 911 call centers wouldnt
have to change their systems
to receive the benefits.
Unlike current 911 mobile
phone technology, LaaSer
takes advantage of all of
the location information
already available in
smartphones, including
GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
near-field communications
(NFC)/RFID, compass,
accelerometer, barometer
and more.
Our lives may depend on
it.

achieves 100-percent coverage. It can be
flexibly mounted in any orientation, and
does not have to be placed horizontally as
do conventional dead-reckoning solutions
that use a single-axis gyroscope. Its autocalibration feature simplifies installation,
while the short calibration time upon first
use improves the user experience. The
barometric pressure sensor provides highly
accurate altitude information, which is
useful for differentiating floor levels of
multi-story parking garages or stacked
highways.The S1722DR8 measures 17 x 22
millimeters. It offers continuous navigation
even in GPS-signal-denied environments
such as tunnels or underground parking
lots.

CORPORATE PROFILE
Racelogic
The growth of GNSS-enabled devices has been exponential in
the last decade. The ability to integrate a satellite receiver into
everyday products has created an enormous market of devices
that are put to a wide variety of uses and with ever greater
reliance on the GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou constellations.
LabSat 3 has made it possible for a great many developers
to accurately and easily create products which include a GNSS
receiver - in a wide variety of markets.
Multi-bit Capability
In addition to triple RF channels allowing simultaneous record or playback of GPS L1,
GLONASS L1 and Beidou B1 bands, LabSat 3 also features flexible multi bit capability.
This allows you to select 4-bit per channel or 2-bit per channel sampling to suit your
application.
For most testing applications such as navigation system testing, 2-bit sampling
provides a very good recording with less than 3dB of signal loss.
The benefit of 2-bit sampling is that the recorded data files are reduced by half
when compared with 4-bit files. When using the LabSat 3 4-bit mode, the IQ data is
sampled 4 bits at a time providing improved signal integrity with noise levels reduced
to less than 1dB.
Synchronised Video
LabSat has the unique ability to
synchronise with the video from
a Racelogic Video VBOX.
This enables you to record
live video and then replay it,
synchronised with the GPS data,
shown as a graphical overlay on
the video.

Spirent is the worlds leading provider of GPS/GNSS simulators. We provide simulators
that cover all applications, including research and development, integration/verification,
and production testing. With a broad line of products, we are sure to have the right
solution for you.
GSS9000
The newly released Spirent GSS9000 Multi-Frequency, Multi-GNSS RF Constellation
Simulator can simulate signals from all GNSS and regional navigation. The GSS9000
offers a four-fold increase in RF signal iteration rate (SIR) over Spirents GSS8000
simulator. The GSS9000 SIR is 1000 Hz (1ms), enabling higher dynamic simulations
with more accuracy and fidelity. It includes support for restricted and classified signals
from the GPS and Galileo systems, as well as advanced capabilities for ultra-high
dynamics. It can evaluate resilience of navigation systems to interference and spoofing
attacks, and has the flexibility to reconfigure constellations, channels, and frequencies
between test runs or test cases.
Hardware changes can be made in the field, supported by the new on-board
calibrator module. The GSS9000 is extensible and can support the widest range of
carriers, ranging codes, and data streams for the Galileo, GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou
systems, as well as regional/augmentation systems. Multi-antenna/multi-vehicle
simulation for differential-GNSS and attitude determination, and interference/jamming
and spoofing testing are also supported.
GSS6425
The Spirent GSS6425 RPS quickly and simply records complex real-world RF
environments, capturing both GNSS signals and atmospheric/interference effects.
These environments can then be replayed repeatedly to the hardware software under
test; reducing project, travel, and engineering costs.
With more than 25 years of GPS/GNSS simulation experience, Spirent provides
simulators that incorporate the highest levels of quality, accuracy, fidelity, and reliability
with unparalleled performance and customer support.

CORPORATE PROFILE
Tallysman
GNSS Antennas
Tallysmans antennas enable precise GNSS applications at
economical prices. Tallysmans Accutenna and VeraPhase
technologies are setting new standards in low axial ratios, tight
Phase Centre Variations, phase linear responses, low current,
and high multi-path signal rejection in compact sizes. All
antennas are manufactured in Canada.
Accutenna Technology
Tallysmans Accutenna technology is required in todays World of multiconstellation, multi-signals. It provides superior multi-path
signal rejection, tight phase centre variations (PCV), and
low axial ratios through the full bandwidth of the antenna.
Tallysmans Accutenna antennas can be used in traditional
code tracking applications as well as phase tracking (RTK /
PPP) applications. Whatever your requirements, Tallysman
likely has an antenna to fit your needs.
This technology is available in three different sized
magnetic mounts, through-hole mounts, and OEM formats.
Antennas are available in single band, dual band, and
triple band coverage. Some models also cover the L-band
correction services.
The antennas are all available with a wide variety of
connectors and custom cable lengths. The OEM antennas
can be custom tuned to work optimally within your housing.
VeraPhase Technology
You will not find a higher performing
antenna for Survey, Reference Stations,
and Monitoring stations applications
than a VeraPhase antenna.
Tallysmans VeraPhase technology
is proving to out-perform choke
ring antennas in many ways. This
technology provides millimetre Phase
Centre Variations (PCV), the lowest axial
ratios (<2dB) from horizon to horizon,
low current demands, and Phase Centre
Offsets (PCO) which are extremely close
across the frequencies. The technology
is in a light weight housing which is
available with either a flat or a conical radome.
VeraPhase antennas are available in full GNSS spectrum (including L-band
correction services), triple band coverage, and dual band coverage (with L-band
correction services).

MOTIVATION
Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) pose one of the greatest
threats to todays ground forces carrying out logistics
missions in hostile environments. While the up-armoring
DEFENSEUPDATE
of tactical vehicles has been effective
in reducing casualties, the warfighter
remains at risk to the ever-increasing
net explosive weights. By fielding
UGVs, militaries will be able to remove
personnel from TWVs and mitigate the
danger of armor overmatch.
To increase efficiency of a reduced
force structure, UGVs will serve as
force multipliers, enabling a warfighter
in a protected vehicle to supervise the
coordinated operation of multiple
UGVs from a safe standoff distance.
These UGVs will be able to operate
for extended periods of time, during
day and night, and through dust and
adverse weather conditions without
fatigue or loss of awareness. UGVs will
precisely maintain vehicle separation,
enabling greater security, improved
efficiency and fewer collisions.
Environment Drives Design. To be
sustainable in theater, unmanned
TWVs must equal their manned
counterparts in performance, reliability
and mobility in austere tactical
environments. For the purposes
of overcoming complex terrain,
prevailing TWVs are engineered to
be capable of feats such as fording
1.5 meters of water and traversing
60% gradients and 30% side slopes. In
addition, these vehicles are expected
to operate across broad temperature
extremes in dusty, sandy or muddy
environments, enduring all manner of
precipitation, vegetation and weather
conditions. The stringent operational
requirements of expeditionary forces
influence both individual component
selection and overall system design for
manned vehicles; the same is true for
an unmanned appliqu complement,
which must be capable of interpreting
and operating in these harsh and
complex environments.

driving behaviors such as avoidance
of obstacles and terrain hazards while
maintaining appropriate vehicle speed
on various terrains.
Key features of the motion planning
system are:
intelligent speed and path selection
in all terrain, including secondary
roads and trails;
capability of sustaining high platform mobility (for example, handling fording and grade climbs);
ability to support high operational
tempo (OPTEMPO).
Modes of Operation. When enabled for
unmanned operation, a TerraMax UGV
can be placed in one of three different
modes: semi-autonomous, follower,or
tele-operation. The mode selection
for each vehicle is controlled from the
primary OCU that can be installed in
any other tactical or combat vehicle.

TRAINING
Because pre-deployment training
opportunities may be limited and
any near-term requirement for highly
specialized troops is untenable, ease

of skill acquisition is critical. In two
warfighter experiments for the U.S.
Marine Corps Warfighting Labs recent
Cargo UGV project, the TerraMax
system was demonstrated to be operable
by veteran motor transport operators
after a three-day training course
comprising classroom instruction,
a re alistic desktop simulation
environment, and hands-on exercises
with the vehicles.
The capstone experiment integrated
two TerraMax UGVs into a manned
logistics convoy, which was then subjected to a variety of realistic operational scenarios including unexpected
road blocks, simulated IED strikes and
night operations. Results showed the
novice users were able to successfully
complete mission objectives using the
unmanned systems.
At the conclusion of each of the
warfighter experiments for the Cargo
CONCLUSION
With onboard sensing and decisionmaking, these unmanned TWVs
can provide a force multiplier by
empowering a single operator to
simultaneously supervise several
unmanned assets traveling in convoy,
operating semi-autonomously for
extended-duration movements. This
advantage is significant because it
permits more efficient completion
of missions by lowering both risk
to, and demand for, ground forces.
The procurement, operations and
maintenance costs for a robotic
capability on TWVs will also be
minimized by modernizing existing
fleet vehicles with an appliqu kit, but

INSIGHTS
BY RICHARD B. LANGLEY
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST PERSONAL COMPUTER? I do.
It was a Timex Sinclair 1000. Released in 1982, it used a Zilog
Z80A processor running at 3.25 MHz and sported a whopping
two kilobytes of memory and a wonky membrane keyboard. You
had to hook it up to a tape recorder to record and load programs
(in BASIC) and it used a TV tuned to channel 3 or 4 as a display
device. Weve certainly come a long way in the past almost 35
years. Now, I have computer I can hold in my hand with more
than one thousand times the computing power and more than
one million times the memory and a built-in interactive display.
Its an Apple iPhone 5S smartphone. I am one of the billions
of owners of a smartphone. In 2015 alone, almost 1.5 billion
smartphones were sold worldwide.
We use our smartphones for a wide range of tasks. Besides
voice phone calls, we use them to text, to wake us up, to listen to
our tunes, to watch movies, to take photographs and videos, to
surf the Web, to navigate. The list goes on and on. In 2015, there
were about 1.5 million applications or apps available for both
Apple and Android smartphones. Those with the ability can even
program their smartphones to perform tasks specific to their
lifestyles, hobbies, or professions.
In this months column, we take a look at the use of a
smartphone app to collect GNSS ionospheric data. Why would you
want to do that?
In the experience of the developers of the app, GNSS receivers
are often characterized by a complex, proprietary data interface
that differs for each manufacturer. In practice, this leads to
significant investments in understanding interfaces and software
tools. Human operators must familiarize themselves with the
commands used to configure each receiver as well as with
proprietary graphical user interfaces and tools specific to each
receiver. The authors' app-centric approach provides a software
framework and output format that remain the same for different
receivers. Receiver-specific commands are configurable within
the app, so users can easily attach new receivers while reusing the
existing infrastructures for data collection and processing. And
smartphones have more than enough power and connectivity to
do the job and can be easily moved from site to site.
The smartphone as a handheld device to help scientists study
the ionosphere? Probably not even Clive Sinclair foresaw that.
