1 Defense-Focused Autonomy & Navigation Anywhere, Anytime, Using Anything WE SPECIALIZE IN MILITARY PNT Research Education Engineering RESEARCH THRUST 1 RESEARCH THRUST 2 RESEARCH THRUST 3 Autonomous & Cooperative Systems Non-GPS Navigation GPS & GNSS Navigation/NAVWAR How do we increase the level of autonomy for military systems? How do we get PNT worldwide, in all environments, to support precision combat? How do we maintain the performance advantage of GPS over all potential adversary systems? UNIQUE POSITION. MISSION-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS. TRUSTED EXPERTISE Because we are fully government and fully academia, we serve a unique role in educating the future workforce and maximizing the effectiveness of our warfighters in accordance with national objectives. We take on relevant, high-risk research projects that deliver student theses and dissertations across the spectrum of autonomy and PNT topics. We offer the community more than a decade of mission-focused expertise from an academic and government perspective. This comes in the form of: TECHNOLOGY TRANSITION TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP CONSULTING WE ARE FULLY GOVERNMENT RESEARCH TOPICS Non-GPS Navigation Vision Navigation UAS Research Cooperative Systems GPS/GNSS Sensor Integration Autonomous Systems Inertial Navigation Systems Estimation WE ARE FULLY ACADEMIA THESES & DISSERTATIONS

2 IN-DEMAND EXPERTISE Established in August 2005 Our research is 100% externally funded by government, academia, and industry sponsors. SPONSOR FUNDING & MANPOWER GROWTH $4m 16 $3.5m 14 $3m 12 GPS & GNSS Navigation/NAVWAR research formalized in $2.5m 2013, adding significant capability to our research portfolio. 10 $2m 8 $1.5m 6 $1m 4 $0.5m 2 $ Expended Sponsored Research Manpower Growth STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS The ANT Center has worked with more than 30 sponsors since its establishment in 2005, developing long-term strategic partnerships with AFRL, Army CERDEC, DARPA, the 746th Test Squadron, the USAF Test Pilot School, and the Consortium of Ohio Universities on Navigation and Timekeeping.

3 AUTONOMOUS & COOPERATIVE SYSTEMS RESEARCH OVERVIEW The Air Force Institute of Technology provides graduate coursework and conducts extensive research in artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and human-machine teaming. A newly offered graduate certificate in autonomy explores these categories in depth (as detailed below). With five certified UAS operators on staff, the ANT Center specializes in collaborative UAS design, development, and indoor/outdoor flight test experiments with fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft carrying mission payloads. AUTONOMOUS AGENTS & ROBOTICS HUMAN-MACHINE INTERACTION UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) COOPERATIVE NAVIGATION CONTACT: Dr. David Jacques david.jacques@afit.edu (937) x3329 PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: CONVOY OVERWATCH Using a low-cost UAS, ANT Center students demonstrated autonomous overwatch capabilities to enhance situational awareness for convoys. The UAS successfully followed a vehicle and kept it in the field of view of a gimbaled camera. Extensions to this research include noncooperative tracking of enemy vehicles.

4 NON-GPS NAVIGATION RESEARCH OVERVIEW Since 2000, ANT Center researchers have been exploring non-gps navigation technologies for military applications. The breadth and depth of this effort is unparalleled, resulting in nearly 400 theses and dissertations on alternative navigation topics. Most notably, the ANT Center is internationally recognized for its leading role in vision-aided navigation, sensor integration, inertial navigation systems, and estimation. In total, the ANT Center has explored more than 15 different Non-GPS phenomenologies.

Recent tests prove that a high-quality nationwide magnetic anomaly map is feasible in terms of cost and implementation.

5 GPS & GNSS NAVIGATION/NAVWAR RESEARCH OVERVIEW Several new satellite navigation systems both global and regional are expected to become fully operational within the next decade. Global systems from Europe and China, and regional systems in Japan and India, will undoubtedly benefit the deployed American warfighter with increased availability, frequency diversity, and continuity of mission. The ANT Center is working to ensure trusted, reliable PNT when using open GNSS signals for military operations. AUTHENTICATION We analyze signal layer characteristics. Highly-flexible FPGA-based real-time chip shape correlation engine Next generation GPS signal structures and authentication research Antenna electronics and front-end development AVAILABILITY We research and develop algorithms to maintain GNSS operation under high interference conditions. Multi-band, multi-element data recording and accelerated processing systems for 24/7 monitoring Multi-element CRPA processing AT THE CENTER of authentication, availability, and integrity is where trusted GNSS is realized. INTEGRITY We perform intersystem cross-checks using open architecture GNSS SDR. Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) Fault detection and exclusion (FDE) CONTACT: Dr. Sanjeev Gunawardena sanjeev.gunawardena (937) x4659 PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: SPACEJAM SPACEJAM, an electronic warfare trainer for GPS-denied environments, was flight tested on an F-16D at the USAF Test Pilot School in The system successfully jammed the receiver while withstanding the high-g environment and without the need for open-air jamming, leading to an official program of record at AFRL.
