VIII International Aviation and Space Show ‘AVIASVIT XXI’

From 27 September to 1 October 2012, the international aerospace salon Aviasvit – XXI was held in Gostomel at the Kyiv Antonov airfield. The NSAU exposition presented the latest scientific research in the form of ready-made developments, stands and computer presentations. The Aerospace Centre presented developments based on the integration of INSS technologies. The greatest interest was aroused by the development of an integrated inertial-satellite navigation system device. Visitors to the exposition were offered publications on the scientific activities of the National Academy of Sciences specially prepared by the Scientific and Technical Information Department.  

Visit to the State Enterprise ‘Orizon-Navigation’

On 5 and 6 April 2012, a team of 6 people from the Aerospace Centre paid a working visit to the State Enterprise ‘Orion-Navigation’ in Smila. The purpose of the visit was to get acquainted with the scientific and production facilities of the enterprise and to identify areas and ways of further cooperation. Following the visit, a protocol on areas of joint cooperation was signed. Representatives of both sides noted that this cooperation will have mutually beneficial consequences for both Orion-Navigation and the Aerospace Centre and for the aviation industry of Ukraine. The souvenir photo once again emphasises that only Read more

EGNOS seminar in Ukraine

The National Aviation University hosted a seminar on EGNOS in Ukraine “Assessment of possible expansion of EGNOS coverage in Ukraine ’ with the participation of the European Commission, the State Aviation Administration, the National Aviation University and the State Space Agency. Representatives of the Aerospace Centre took part in the workshop and prepared proposals for possible joint actions of NAU and Valdani Vicari & Associates to promote EGNOS in Ukraine.

Development of an adaptive hardware and software system for improving the noise immunity of satellite navigation systems

The aim is to develop an adaptive hardware and software complex (AHC) that provides increased noise immunity of satellite radio navigation systems (SRNS) equipment Main results. The mathematical modelling of the adaptation algorithm and its synthesis were carried out, taking into account the contradiction of requirements to ensure its speed and stability, to take into account the significant influence of destabilising factors on the process of calculating the adaptation weights and the construction of the diagramming system.A prototype of the AASC was created, which provides for the development of adaptation algorithms and semi-natural studies.   Experimental 4-element antenna array 

Creation and operation of a coordinate-time and navigation system for Ukraine using global navigation satellite systems

The objective is to create a methodology and criteria for assessing the quality of navigation support using signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and their differential functional add-ons in Ukraine to control and predict the quality of services provided by the Ukrainian positioning, navigation and timing system (PNTS) and to develop a comprehensive plan for the certification of PNTS in accordance with the requirements of national and international standards. Main results of the work. Based on the analysis of the European experience, the ways and proposals for the creation of a system for monitoring and certification of the characteristics Read more
