This session will discuss design challenges for achieving few-meter accuracy in challenging GPS-denied environments. The First-Responder mission environment will be described, highlighting major technical hurdles, existing solutions, and areas of needed innovation. A full sensor-fused systems approach will be detailed, including Precision-Inertial-Sensors, Initialization-Sensors, Rugged-Communications-Links, and Key-Algorithmic-Elements, with data and maps describing results.
ATTENDEE BENEFITS & TAKEAWAYS:
- Attendee will learn details of the challenges in the First Responder Application, and why a full systems approach is important, and what the elements of that system are
- Gain insight in to Sensor-Fusion techniques and the benefits over discrete sensing technologies
- Assess sensor technologies for critical specifications, understand how to interpret varying specification approaches, and make tradeoffs at the system level
