GNSS and Inertial Navigation

Our theoretical applications are validated through special experiments and implemented into an evaluation software developed at the institute. The focus of our work is on three main subjects.

GNSS Navigation

• Precise Clock Modelling and Analysis of high precise external Oscillators on the GNSS Processing Chain
• Virtual receiver for navigation approaches (inland vessels, airplane, LEO formation flights)
• Alternative approaches for Integrity using interval mathematics
• Navigation und positioning in difficult environments
• Use of alternative platforms (e.g. smartphones, KATE)

GNSS Monitoring and Kinematic Orbit Determination

• Geomonitoring (in cooperation with Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics - LIAG)
• Optimized GPS data analysis for the Swarm mission
• Theory of GNSS signal turbulence
• Optimized GPS data analysis for SWARM mission

Inertial Navigation, Filtering and Transient Processes

• Quantum sensors for inertial navigation
• Development of filter models
  
• Transient processes and turbulences in the atmosphere
