Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) Technology for Radar and Command and Control Applications
April 10, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Recent advances in digital signal processing and semiconductor technology have changed the architecture and capabilities of traditional radar designs. Now, new developments in time and frequency distribution across networks, the miniaturization of atomic clocks, and advances in Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) brings the next wave of innovation.
This presentation will describe these latest trends in Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) synchronization and how they apply to the radar and command and control applications. Picosecond level synchronization over network interfaces is now possible, revolutionizing the phased array antenna. “White Rabbit” technology, which can provide sub-nanosecond time synchronization and frequency syntonization over Ethernet networks, is changing the architecture of phased array antennas – providing a single connection for both clock sync and high-speed data. Precise network sync is also important on command and control networks as radars and weapon systems exchange precise position and navigation coordinates in real-time. For positioning and alignment of radars, the latest in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Hemispherical Resonating Gyros (HRGs) are enabling accurate azimuth gyrocompass alignment in minutes. Low phase noise ultra-stable oscillators are capable of operation in rugged environments.
This presentation is for both experienced systems engineers of radar systems and for novices interested in learning more about radar and command and control applications.
