Presentation Transcript

  1. Civil GPS Service Interface Committee • International Sub Committee Meeting • Melbourne, Victoria • 10th-11th February 2003

  2. GPS Augmentation • - A Commercial View - • Presented by • OmniSTAR Pty Ltd

  3. Overview • History Lesson • Current Systems • Future Directions In Brief:

  4. History Radio navigation systems. Early 1970’s - Hyperbolic Systems • Loran / Shoran • Mainchain / HiFix • Argo Typically MF-HF (1-10mHz) frequencies with typical coverage to 400kms

  5. History Followed within a decade by Range - Range systems: • Trisponder • Syledis • Motorola Typically VHF-UHF frequencies still with coverage to 400kms and with improved position accuracy.

  6. History Also developed were: • Long range radio systems 2000kms developed • Spot - Offshore Navigation Inc Private four satellite positioning system • STARFIX - John E. Chance • Gulf of Mexico • Exploration for oil

  7. History The next decade saw the development of GPS augmentation systems. These systems were point to multipoint and conceived by Walter Blanchard. • Startrack UDI- Marconi • Skyfix Racal (Thales Navigation) • Georef Geoteam • SARGAS Western Geophysical • ORION Wimpol • Veripos HF / Satellite

  8. History Generally providing sub-metre to 1,500kms Offshore construction for resource projects.

  9. History • Rack mounted mobile equipment • Sophisticated operators • Regional availability • Offshore exploration and construction dependent These systems were characterised by:

  10. History • SkyFix - Thales Navigation • STARFIX II - Fugro In the past decade this industry has further developed the GPS Augmentation systems available today. Development has been in two streams. Firstly, Offshore exploration and construction users

  11. History Characterised by: • Very high reliability and system redundancy • Immediate disaster recovery systems • Sophisticated user defined parameters for the position solution • System quality assurance indications available to the user

  12. Current • Secondly, a stream for Onshore users • OmniSTAR Fugro • LandStar Thales Navigation • StarFire Navcom / JPL • Characterised by: • Low cost hardware solutions • Simple operation • Global availability

  13. Benefits • The Commercial GPS Augmentation industry provides significant benefits to the wider Australian community. • Funding academic research • Provides a “user benefit - user pays” environment for users in Australia • Created an umbrella environment for Australian innovation • Financial support to industry innovators

  14. Benefits • Examples of Australian Innovation: • Satellite antenna design • Visual guidance system in Agriculture • GPS assisted steering for broadacre • Rapid field asset mapping systems • These research and development projects are now Australian exports.

  15. Future • The Future: • Continued rationalisation of commercial GPS augmentation industry • Significant investment in developing more accurate systems: - commercial • - academic • Participating in developing and commercialising new navigation networks: - Galileo • Supporting development of new GPS applications: • Material handling robotics by GPS • Significant reduction in infrastructure costs
