Lockheed Martin Australia - Future Submarine - Emerging technologies for improved autonomous celestial navigation
Tender ID: 393233
Tender Details
Tender Description
This R&D activity is to explore new technologies and algorithms that will improve autonomous celestial navigation whilst maintaining a covert posture. This R&D activity is not to limit itself to clear night sky situations but to explore the potential for celestial navigation under a variety of sky conditions including broad daylight through the consideration of different spectral bands and image processing techniques capable of detecting extremely weak signals in noise. Two key objectives are time for position reckoning (ideally even compared to GPS) and a more accurate position and heading determination. The system is to be as autonomous as possible in operation but able to explain the quality of the result (and hence error levels) obtained.
R&D deliverable's will include a report comprising a detailed literature review of the relevant areas and methods; identification and evaluation of appropriate models and methods; a detailed plan proposing future research; and the identification of suitable measures of effectiveness and/or measures of performance to help quantify the value of the research.
