Highly Accurate Navigation Systems
A United States Air Force aircraft, fitted with Locata antenna and receiver, taxies at Alamogordo Airport before taking off to test the performance of the Locata network installed at the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The Air Force Institute of Technology was chosen by the 746th Test Squadron to partner with the Locata Corporation through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement to develop a highly accurate navigation system for testing methods developed for overcoming GPS jamming, or electronic warfare. This collaboration allowed AFIT to provide research and government expertise for updating Locata’s system. The updates included new antennas for aviation use, amplifying the Locata transmitter signals for longer ranges and determining the additional dynamics associated with aircraft, such as speed, maneuverability and tropospheric variation adjustments.
