Groundbreaking innovations on antenna technology, based on a collaboration between Lockheed Martin Space and Penn State, are now under consideration for use in the next generation of GPS satellite payloads. https://phys.org/news/2019-01-metamaterials-satellite.html Engineering Mon, 14 Jan 2019 06:56:39 EST news466671390 (Phys.org) —The Air Force Institute of Technology, or AFIT, is the Air Force's graduate school of engineering and management as well as its institution for technical professional continuing education. Earlier this month, AFIT and Locata, based in Canberra, Australia, announced an R&D deal to build and demonstrate new Locata multipath mitigation technology for use in GPS receivers. Locata, which also has an office in Las Vegas, has attracted interest within and beyond the Air Force for advancements made in global positioning system receivers. "This cooperation is expected to leverage many years of proprietary Locata ground-based technology development to bring completely new capabilities to satellite-based GPS receivers," said the AFIT announcement. https://phys.org/news/2013-09-air-school-locata-gps-antenna.html Telecom Wed, 25 Sep 2013 05:20:01 EDT news299302417 Images taken from space have indicated that some of the world's unmonitored volcanoes may not be as peaceful as we might like to think.
