About Navigation Lab (NavLab)
The MMAE Navigation Lab was established in 1999 by Professor Boris Pervan as a center for research, development and testing of advanced navigation, guidance, and control systems. Major areas of current research activity in this lab focus on satellite-based navigation systems, including the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Differential GPS (DGPS), high-integrity navigation algorithms, fault detection and isolation, and distributed navigation systems. Research programs have been sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, the Boeing Co., Northrop-Grumman, and IIT Research Institute.
In the Navigation Lab, research is focused on advanced navigation architectures and algorithms for aerospace and terrestrial vehicle systems, emphasizing:
- Modern satellite navigation systems: GPS, Differential GPS (DGPS), and Galileo.
- High precision carrier phase positioning and cycle ambiguity resolution.
- Navigation integrity, fault detection, fault isolation, and fault-tolerant estimation.
- Navigation for aircraft precision approach and landing.
- Fusion of Laser and Inertial sensors with GPS in compromised environments.
- Navigation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs).
