Highly Accurate Navigation System Testing

A LocataLite transmitter, high on a peak for maximum range, transmits high-accuracy positioning signals across 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 system is tested on equipment, such as aircraft or land-based vehicles that are used in locations where electronic warfare prevents the warfighter from using GPS in battle. The collaboration allowed AFIT to provide research and government expertise for updating Locata’s system to meet the requirements developed by the 746th Test Squadron.
