NavSAS

The Navigation Technologies area is a research team working on the design and development of new technologies and systems related to Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), like GPS, Glonass, Galileo and EGNOS. Thanks to the close collaboration with Politecnico di Torino University, the area combines high-level research skills, typical of the academy, with the ability to propose and develop innovative solutions for industrial partners. The joint research team has been designated as Navigation Signal Analysis and Simulation (NavSAS) group, which owns its website at www.navsas.eu.

In the last years, the work mainly focused on three areas of interest:

Analysis of new algorithms for multi-system receivers and development of real time GNSS receivers in sw radio technology;
Design and development of embedded platforms, enabling new GNSS-based services;
Development of hw and sw tools to support training and education activities on GNSS.

In addition, it is worth mentioning the effort on higher education through the organization of a second level Master on satellite navigation and related applications. This is a joint initiative with Politecnico di Torino and is supported by the Office for Outer Space Affairs of the UN.
Through the cooperation with major industries and universities, the team is involved in several projects, at national and international level. The staff participates in many EU programs for the development of Galileo, its related applications, and for the deployment of EGNOS.
Recently, the strategic vision of the group foresees an intense use of innovative technologies for the evolution of complex processes based on GNSS, introducing EGNOS and Galileo in real applications. Often, the work carried out within specific projects resulted in advanced prototypes. The ability to realize concrete solutions and test the performance on field, starting from generic concepts, is a valuable competence gained by the group over the past years.
