PNT and Kuma Signals |
Kuma Signals, through its team of signal processing, wireless, and GPS experts, is dedicated to not only improving the current PNT technology, but also in developing revolutionary approaches to PNT. Our three-headed PNT focus is to:
Improve the precision and speed of positioning estimates while reducing the cost and complexity of GPS receivers.
- Mitigation of jammers and multipath with strategically placed antennas and waveform processing.
- Complexity reduction in GPS receivers through exploitation of GPS signal structure.
- Precision positioning in the presence of degraded, low-cost analog hardware wth advanced receivers.
Integrate the two forms of current PNT technology (GPS and wireless infrastructure) in a mutually beneficial way.
- Reliability improvement of PNT through the combination of GPS and WiFi PNT (each reliable in different usage scenarios).
- Exploitation of WiFi/GPS to improve precision of GPS/WiFi PNT.
- GPS complexity reduction through WiFi exploitation.
Develop cutting edge approaches to PNT in order to reach applications not serviced by current PNT technology.
- Indoor positioning for emergency/rescue/safety.
- High precision civilian GPS for building construction, high density tracking, etc.
- Group positioning for connected, but distributed systems with intermittent PNT on each node.
