- Description
- The Robust Surface Navigation (RSN) program seeks to develop technology for geospatial location and navigation using “signals of opportunity” (SoOP). These SoOPs are primarily envisioned to be man-made radio emitters not originally intended for location and navigation (such as commercial communications satellites, commercial radio and television broadcast towers, or mobile telephone towers), but may be extended to active beacons purposefully deployed in a tactical military situation. The RSN program is intended to counter localized jamming or global failure of the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to enemy actions, and to complement GPS capabilities in situations for which it was not intended, for example, inside buildings, in dense urban environments, and under dense foliage. Phase 1 of RSN presented analyses that showed the expected positioning performance using SoOPs and beacons in various environments, including open-sky line of sight, urban canyons of varying density, inside buildings of varying complexity, and under dense foliage. The objective of RSN Phase 2 is to develop and demonstrate a functional prototype of the RSN system. The RSN system must solve the fundamental problem of navigation and geolocation in GPS-denied areas, especially in difficult environments of inside buildings and in urban canyons.
