Introducing the LabSat 4 GNSS Simulator

Danielle Pesta — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 20:57:07 +0000

[SPONSORED CONTENT] LabSat has announced the launch of the LabSat 4 GNSS Simulator, a cutting-edge solution for modern GNSS signal testing. With three configurable RF channels, up to 12-bit I&Q quantization, and variable 10-60 MHz bandwidth, it offers exceptional customization and precision. Synchronized record and replay of external data sources such as CAN FD and RS232 further enhance complex test scenarios.

LabSat 4 has been engineered to deliver ease of use, with saveable custom record settings and a web-based interface for effortless configuration. Its impressive file management capabilities, featuring 7.6TB internal storage and fast data transfer via Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.0, meet high-volume data demands efficiently. Maintaining the compact size, portability, and cost efficiency of its predecessors, LabSat 4 is ideal for use both in the field and laboratory. Additionally, it integrates seamlessly with SatGen Simulation Software, enabling the creation of detailed GNSS RF I&Q scenario files based on custom trajectories, enhancing its utility for sophisticated GNSS signal testing.

Amazon shows how it’s building drone delivery system

Tracy Cozzens — Mon, 15 Aug 2022 17:26:21 +0000

Amazon has put out a video to show how the company is building its drone delivery service. The fully electric drones are designed to deliver packages under 5 pounds to customers in less than 60 minutes.

Later this year, customers living in Lockeford, California and College Station, Texas will be among the first to receive Prime Air drone deliveries.

Three components are integral to the system:

The drone itself, which Amazon said is as robust and reliable as its ground transportation trucks.
A sense-and-avoid system for obstacles such as other aircraft, people and pets in backyards.
An automated drone-management system to plan flight paths and ensure safe distances between the drones and other aircraft in the area, and ensure compliance with aviation regulations.

Amazon has been developing its drone delivery system for almost a decade, employing experts in safety, aerospace, science, robotics, software, hardware, testing and manufacturing.

Below is an inside look at an Amazon flight-testing facility in Oregon.
