1. The US Army has outlined 11 key development goals for next-generation positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technology. According to a report on the FBO website on November 24, 2017, the US Army issued a broad agency announcement seeking industry innovation in PNT systems to enhance the combat capabilities of land forces. The document, published by the US Army Communications Electronics Research and Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), outlines 11 areas of interest aimed at improving situational awareness, mission command support, and decision-making for battlefield operations and commanders. The objectives include:
(1) Pseudo satellite system: Develop and demonstrate GPS pseudolite technology to improve situational awareness and command support.
(2) Car navigation system: Design and validate a ground-based PNT system that supports battlefield command and decision-making.
(3) Inertial navigation system: Identify and advance inertial navigation technologies for improved situational awareness.
(4) Positioning: Develop advanced positioning and orientation technologies to enhance mission command.
(5) Navigation auxiliary sensors: Improve navigation aids to ensure off-road mobility in GPS-denied environments.
(6) Navigation sensor fusion: Advance sensor fusion technology for soldier and vehicle applications.
(7) Biological navigation techniques: Explore biomimetic navigation technologies for future applications.
(8) PNT timing technology: Develop precise timing and time transfer solutions for military use.
(9) PNT modeling and simulation: Apply validated models and simulations across various PNT domains.
(10) Navigation warfare applications: Demonstrate navigation warfare techniques to monitor and control A2AD environments.
(11) PNT autonomy and AI: Integrate autonomy and AI into PNT systems to enhance warfighter capabilities.
2. iXblue has been selected by the French Navy Group to provide navigation systems for five new FTI-type frigates. As the main contractor, the Navy Group signed a contract with iXblue to equip the ships with the Marins inertial navigation system and Netans distributed processing unit. Thomas Buret, head of inertial systems at iXblue, highlighted that this contract marks a significant milestone in their long-term collaboration with the Navy Group. The Marins system, based on fiber optic gyroscope technology, ensures accurate position, velocity, and attitude data even in GNSS-rejected environments. The Netans unit enhances data processing and cybersecurity, making it ideal for modern naval operations.
3. OSI Maritime has secured a contract with Loma to provide an Integrated Bridge and Navigation System (IBNS) for the US Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project. This system aims to reduce manufacturing costs while upgrading bridge and navigation capabilities. Ken Kirkpatrick, CEO of OSI Maritime, emphasized the importance of this contract as a gateway to the US Navy market. The IBNS complies with global standards and includes features like electronic chart display, radar integration, and automatic tracking, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
4. Bosch introduced low-drift gyro and acceleration sensors at CES 2018, designed for small drones and robots. The BMI088 sensor offers high vibration resistance and low noise, even in extreme temperatures. It integrates 16-bit triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope, providing reliable performance for autonomous systems.
5. TDK Corporation and Asahi Kasei Microelectronics Co., Ltd. jointly developed a high-precision 3-axis TMR magnetometer. Measuring just 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.6 mm, it features low angular random walk and minimal power consumption, making it ideal for wearables, VR/AR, and IoT devices.
6. Honeywell launched a new test tool for future air navigation systems as part of its GoDirect service. This tool enables operators to verify system functionality and troubleshoot issues before takeoff, ensuring reliable satellite communications and navigation.
7. The Australian Strategic Policy Institute released a report exploring the potential of quantum technologies in defense. It highlights quantum computing, communication, radar, and sensors as key areas with practical military applications, including more accurate positioning and improved sensor performance.
8. The US DARPA CODE project has entered its third phase, with Leidos selected to further develop the software for coordinated drone operations. The project aims to enable autonomous, supervised missions in complex environments, enhancing survivability and reducing development costs.
