This paper addresses an original problem of integrated navigation system based on iridium
Next low Earth orbit Iridium Next satellites. In uncovered Radar areas such as oceanic …

In the next generation modernization plan, the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast
(ADS-B) system plays a pivotal role. However, the ADS-B’s low level of security and its …

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that can connect billions of devices or “things” to
other devices (machine to machine) or even to people via an existing infrastructure. IoT …

With the emergence of numerous low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations such as
Iridium-Next, Globalstar, Orbcomm, Starlink, and OneWeb, the idea of considering their downlink …

In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS)
navigation systems, an orthogonal rotation method-based nine-gyro redundant MEMS …

The horizontal positional accuracy of Google Earth is assessed in the city of Montreal, Canada,
using the precise coordinates of ten GPS points spatially distributed all over the city. The …

This paper addresses an original problem of Position Determination based on spacecraft’s
signal of opportunity in uncovered Radar areas such as oceanic regions, north regions and …

An inertial navigation method augmented by Signals of Opportunity (SOPs) of three low earth
orbit (LEO) constellations is presented. The downlink signal characteristics of the Iridium-…

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for the acquisition of weak GNSS signals. For
the GPS L1 signal, we utilize the replication property of the C/A code within each data bit to …
