The article explores the problem of alternative navigation support for high-precision weapons that use guidance based on signals from global navigation systems. It proposes the use of an autonomous navigation system replacing satellite navigation in the case where major Global Positioning System-like systems are unavailable. It suggests the idea and the model of a moving navigation field that can move along the weapon trajectory. The model of accuracy for the pseudolite navigation system uses the least squares method as its basis. The study looks into the accuracy parameters of the moving navigation field. The results of the study show the advantages of a moving field when compared with a stationary navigation field in case of autonomous use. This research also shows the possibility of using an autonomous system for Special Forces, search and rescue operations, and robotic and unmanned aerial, ground, and sea-based vehicles.

Navigational service is one of the most essential dependency towards any transport system and at present, there are various revolutionary approaches that has contributed towards its improvement. This paper has reviewed the global positioning system (GPS) and computer vision based navigational system and found that there is a large gap between the actual demand of navigation and what currently exists. Therefore, the proposed study discusses about a novel framework of an autonomous navigation system that uses GPS as well as computer vision considering the case study of futuristic road traffic system. An analytical model is built up where the geo-referenced data from GPS is integrated with the signals captured from the visual sensors are considered to implement this concept. The simulated outcome of the study shows that proposed study offers enhanced accuracy as well as faster processing in contrast to existing approaches.

AbstractRelativistic effects play an important role in the performance of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and in world-wide time comparisons. The GPS has provided a model for algorithms that take relativistic effects into account. In the future exploration of space, analogous considerations will be necessary for the dissemination of time and for navigation. We discuss relativistic effects that are important for a navigation system such as at Mars. We describe relativistic principles and effects that are essential for navigation systems, and apply them to navigation satellites carrying atomic clocks in orbit about Mars, and time transfer between Mars and Earth. It is shown that, as in the GPS, relativistic effects are not negligible.

Signals broadcasted by Global Positioning System are a good solution for aircraft navigation in remote areas where conventional ground‐based navigation means do not exist. In the world of avionics, more and more navigation guidance systems based on GPS are being developed. Very high claims in terms of accuracy, reliability, and integrity are required for such systems. But GPS alone cannot satisfy these requirements. For this reason, augmentation systems have been designed, which along with GPS receivers form state‐of‐the‐art navigation systems.

AbstractIncreasingly, high-precision GPS/GNSS (global positioning system/global satellite navigation system) based real-time-kinematic methods are being used in the mapping of archaeological sites. However, when utilizing high-precision satellite-based methods for archaeological location purposes, there is a significant but usually unanticipated problem that must first be addressed if accurate measurements are to be made. Simply put, unless proper correction methods are used, horizontal distances between two locations determined by the GNSS method will differ from the measurements that are made by traditional survey methods. This difference between the two measurements is often referred to as the grid-to-ground problem. This article provides a process to address this problem.
