EMCORE’s SDN500 INS Achieves Success in CAST Navigation Ultra-High-Altitude Flight Simulation
2020年11月24日 - 10:30PM
EMCORE Corporation (Nasdaq: EMKR), a leading provider of advanced
mixed-signal products that serve the aerospace & defense and
broadband communications markets, announced today that it achieved
success in an ultra-high-altitude flight simulation that was
featured in an article about CAST Navigation titled “A True
Reference” in the September-October issue of Inside GNSS. CAST
Navigation builds simulators for testing and validating GNSS/INS
performance in high-end navigation systems and EMCORE’s SDN500 INS
(Inertial Navigation System) was tested in the simulation for the
article.

EMCORE relies on GNSS/INS simulators for hardware-in-the-loop
testing to verify the expected performance of algorithms. In the
test discussed in this article, EMCORE sought to validate the
velocity and altitude limits of a new GNSS receiver along with the
algorithm performance in a tactical grade SDN500 system. In the
final analysis, the GNSS receiver and navigation algorithm was
confirmed to operate as expected throughout the operation for all
three of the customer’s dynamic constraint scenarios.
“We were extremely pleased to demonstrate how EMCORE takes
advantage of the functionality contained in the CAST simulator to
prove-out our robust product performance in customer environments,”
said David Hoyh, EMCORE’s Director of Sales & Marketing for
navigation products. “I would like to thank Inside GNSS and CAST
Navigation for the opportunity to contribute and promote the
SDN500,” added Mr. Hoyh.
This test requires simulating performance at an altitude over
24,000 meters and velocities over 600 m/s. Only a few aircraft in
the world have such capabilities including the SR-71 Blackbird, but
it is not practical to participate in a test flight on the SR-71.
Simulating the SDN500 INS test flight to specific customer profiles
on a CAST system is straightforward and cost-effective. Testing
began with a stationary period on the ground while the SDN500
initializes and transitions into air navigation mode. Then the
flight trajectory entered a series of maneuvers, speed, and
altitude changes that provided observability for various parameters
with corresponding changes in the calculated figures.
Andy Williams, Senior Field Application Engineer at EMCORE who
spearheaded the effort, explains, “During the times when there was
no valid solution from the GNSS receiver, the algorithm maintained
an accurate solution using only the data from the IMU (Inertial
Measurement Unit). In addition, there was no algorithm instability
or discontinuity when the GNSS receiver resumed, providing a
solution to the algorithm. Throughout this entire profile, even
when GNSS signal is lost, the SDN500 maintains an accurate
navigation solution. This test is not possible without the
synchronized GNSS radio frequency and trajectory matching IMU data
provided by the CAST system.”
