An unmanned ground vehicle can perform its mission automatically without human control in unknown environment. To move up to a destination in various surrounding situation, navigational information is indispensible. In order to be adopted for an unmanned vehicle, the navigation box is small, light weight and low power consumption. This paper suggests navigation system using a low grade MEMS IMU for supplying position, velocity, and attitude of an unmanned ground vehicle. This system consists of low cost and light weight MEMS sensors and a GPS receiver to meet unmanned vehicle requirements. The sensors are basically integrated by loosely coupled method using Kalman filter and internal algorithms are divided into initial alignment, sensor error compensation, and complex navigation algorithm. The performance of the designed navigation system has been analyzed by real time field test and compared to commercial tactical grade GPS/INS system.

This paper presents a new method of measuring the ground's gradient using LNS(land navigation system) navigation data. When a vehicle equipped with LNS arrives at any place, LNS provides its navigation data which contain the information on vehicle's motion. We developed some formulas which can explain correlation between the vehicle's motion and ground's gradient. The proposed method using those formulas is shown to be accurate and convenient.

This paper presents the analysis results of navigation performance of Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) test signals. Performance analysis was performed with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) signals received from 7 KASS reference stations. And the performances were analyzed in terms of the signal strength, statistics for each SBAS message, coverage of ionospheric correction, accuracy, integrity, continuity, and availability. In addition, the navigation solutions provided by commercial receiver was analyzed and the performance experienced by general users was presented. Lastly, directions for further improvement of the KASS system were addressed. These performance analysis results can be used to confirm the feasibility of utilizing KASS in user applications.

In this paper, an effective path generation algorithm for obstacle avoidance producing small amount of steering action as possible is proposed. The proposed path generation algorithm can reduce unnecessary steering because of the small lateral changes in generated waypoints when UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) encounters obstacles during its waypoint navigation. To verify this, the proposed algorithm and $A^*$ algorithm are analyzed through the simulation. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in terms of lateral changes in the generated waypoint, steering changes of the vehicle while driving and execution speed of the algorithm. Especially, due to the fast execution speed of the algorithm, the obstacles that encounter suddenly in front of the vehicle within short range can be avoided. This algorithm consider the waypoint navigation only. Therefore, in certain situations, the algorithm may generate the wrong path. In this case, a general path generation algorithm like $A^*$ is used instead. However, these special cases happen very rare during the vehicle waypoint navigation, so the proposed algorithm can be applied to most of the waypoint navigation for the unmanned ground vehicle.

In the Civil Aviation field, the international trend (through ICAO, EUROCONTROL) is to adopt one positioning system that allows to follow more flight phases. This will allow to release themselves by ground installations and optimize the traffic flows following the aRea Navigation (RNAV) concept. In order to realize this goal the European Scientific Community are focusing on Augmentation Systems based on Satellite infrastructure (SBAS - Satellite Based Augmentation System) and on Ground based ones (GBAS - Ground Based Augmentation System). The goal of this work is to present some results on SBAS and GBAS performances. Regarding SBAS, the Department of Applied Sciences of Parthenope University, after the acquisition of a Novatel OEM4 SBAS receiver has created a monitoring station that reflect as much as possible a standardized measure environment for EGNOS Data Collection Network (EDCN), established by Eurocontrol. The Department of Applied Science has decided to carry out a own monitoring survey to verify the performance of EGNOS that can be achieved in South Europe region, a zone not very covered by official (EDCN) monitoring network. Regarding GBAS, we started from a data set of measurements carried out at the GBAS of Milan-Linate airport where we work on a ground installation (GMS - Ground Monitoring Station) that supervises the GBAS signal and that represent, for our purposes, the Aircraft subsystem. So the set of data collected is to be considered in RTK mode and after the measures session we processed them with the software PEGASUS v 4.11. Both experiences give us the possibility to evaluate the GNSS1 performance that can be achieved.

In this paper, Zero velocity UPdaTe (ZUPT) is implemented on the navigation system of Remotely Piloted Aircraft for GNSS denied environment. RPA's navigation system suffers from lack or loss of satellite signal while maintenance or ground test inside a hangar. Although some of the hangars install GPS repeaters for indoor tests, the anti-jamming equipment with array antenna blocks the repeater signal regarding them as hostile jamming signal. With ZUPT, an aircraft navigation system can be tested free from the divergence of navigation solution without line-of-sight satellites. The designed ZUPT aided centralized Kalman Filter is implemented on the Embedded GPS&INS and simulated with Captive Flight Test data. The simulation result shows stable navigation solution without GNSS updates.

작전을 수행하는 군 환경에서 위치 정보는 매우 중요하다. 군 환경에서 위치 정보 획득은 일반적으로 GPS에 의해 이루어진다. 하지만 GPS는 수신 신호의 세기가 매우 약해 전파교란에 취약하다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 상대항법은 전술데이터링크 표준인 JTIDS(Joint Tactical Information Distribution System)에서 정의된 GPS 보조항법이다. GPS 전파교란 환경에서 상대항법의 정확한 운용을 위해서는 지상에서 공중노드의 참조노드 역할을 수행하는 GRU(Ground Reference Unit)가 보장되어야한다. 하지만 상대항법을 운용하는데 있어서 GRU를 항상 보장하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. GRU 부재 환경에서 상대항법 운용중인 공중노드는 관성항법장치에 의존하여 측위한다. 하지만 관성항법장치에 의존하는 측위는 시간이 지남에 따라 누적 오차 발생을 야기하며 누적 오차에 의해 공중노드는 정확한 측위를 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 상대항법에서 GRU 부재 시 관성항법장치 의존으로 인한 공중노드의 위치 오차를 줄이기 위한 대처 방안을 제시한다. 또한 대체 방안의 성능이 기존의 성능에 비하여 우수하다는 것을 모의실험을 통해 증명한다.

Galileo is the European Global Navigation Satellite System, under civilian control, and consists on a constellation of medium Earth orbit satellites and its associated ground infrastructure. Galileo will provide to their users highly accurate global positioning services and their associated integrity information. The elements in charge of the computation of Galileo navigation and integrity information are the OSPF (Orbit Synchronization Processing Facility) and IPF (Integrity Processing Facility), within the Galileo Ground Mission Segment (GMS). Navigation algorithms play a key role in the provision of the Galileo Mission, since they are responsible for computing the essential information the users need to calculate their position: the satellite ephemeris and clock offsets. Such information is generated in the Galileo Ground Mission Segment and broadcast by the satellites within the navigation signal, together with the expected a-priori accuracy (SISA: Signal-In-Space Accuracy), which is the parameter that in fault-free conditions makes the overbounding the predicted ephemeris and clock model errors for the Worst User Location. In parallel, the integrity algorithms of the GMS are responsible of providing a real-time monitoring of the satellite status with timely alarm messages in case of failures. The accuracy of the integrity monitoring system is characterized by the SISMA (Signal In Space Monitoring Accuracy), which is also broadcast to the users through the integrity message.
