• Ideal surface positioning system should provide a position that is…
– Constant
– Stable

– Repeatable
• Essential to safe and productive operations

GNSS Technology
• GNSS satellites– Located approx 20,000km above surface of the Earth
Transmit po er 50W– Transmit power 50W
• Signal weak by time it reaches user antenna
Si l tibl t d d ti th h i t f• Signal susceptible to degradation through interference– Propagation through the atmosphere– Jamming (intentional or un-intentional)
• Require line-of-sight to receive signal– Obstructions (like platforms) will mask the signal
MTS DP Conference 2012
• Result = unreliable position

Ionosphere Effect on GNSS Signals
• Ionosphere more active– Solar Cycle 24 nearing peak
Increased electron content– Increased electron content– Delays GNSS signal = range error – Compute error with dual frequency GNSS
• Scintillation more serious problem– Localized, small scale irregularities
Increased measurement noise/error on GNSS– Increased measurement noise/error on GNSS– Worst case is loss of lock on satellite– Typically occurs after sunset for several hours

Inertial Technology
• Inertial Navigation involves determining a position through dead reckoning
INS l l t iti l it d ttit d h i– INS calculates position, velocity and attitude changes using gyros and accelerometers
– Completely self contained and therefore inherently robust– Continuous output with very good short term accuracy
• But drifts with time…M it d ill d d lit f– Magnitude will depend on quality of sensor
– High quality sensors = more cost– Also potential export restrictions (ITAR)
MTS DP Conference 2012
– Integration with external sensors can constrain the drift

Integration Strategies
• INS and GNSS are complementary sensors– GNSS can help constrain the drift of the INS sensors
