Guest Lecture on “Global Satellite Navigation Systems” by Dr George T. Schmidt from MIT, USA
Amity School of Engineering & Technology, Amity University Gurgaon organized an expert guest lecture on Global Satellite Navigation Systems by Dr George T. Schmidt (MIT USA) on 17th November 2017 for students of M.tech (ECE) 1st & 3rd Semester and B.Tech. (ECE & EEE) 5th & 7th Semester.
In his welcome speech, Maj Gen V K Narang (Director ASET) briefed that Dr George T. Schmidt is AESS Distinguished Lecturer (2017-2018) and have IEEE Fellow. George T. Schmidt is a consultant in avionics systems design and he is also a member of the AESS Board of Governors. He has received the NATO RTO’s highest technical award, the von Kármán Medal, in 2005. His major individual technical contributions have been in guidance and navigation systems design for missiles, aircraft, and the Apollo spacecraft; practical Karman filtering applications; development of motion compensation, integration, and relative targeting techniques for high-resolution synthetic aperture radars; applications of satellite navigation systems; and advanced inertial systems development.
Dr George T. Schmidt begins his session by sharing that the Global Navigation System is one of the most powerful modern technologies and Civilian applications of navigation systems are rapidly growing which will revolutionize our society in the near future. Many opportunities exist in industry and government agencies for engineers with background and formal training in navigation system’s theory and design. He also briefed about how satellite communications systems are used in global positioning and advantages & disadvantages of using satellites for global navigation systems. Dr George also shared his knowledge about GNSS, GPS, GALILEO, IRNSS, GPS Jamming and jammer possibilities, GPS spoofing (What it is and why it may become a big threat), Anti-jammer and their capabilities, Detection & Mitigation technologies and Inertial sensor technologies.
