4. * Navigation – Art of controlling and monitoring direction and position Before 1900: * Cross-Staff * Compass * Astrolabe * Chip Log * Hourglass * Quadrant * Sextant * Octant * Chronometer * Dead Reckoning After 1900: * Radio-beacon * LORAN * Transit Satellite Navigation * Radar * GPS * Inertial Navigation MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move 4

5. * Spectracom specializes in timing, related to navigation. * Precision timing and synchronization leads to global navigation and various communication technologies. * Global Positioning System (GPS) and an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) * Time, position, and attitude * Even in the case of a temporary GPS loss * Spectracom does not make higher level end products * Base to create any number of solutions Spectracom’s Geo-PNT Module the project will focus on.

7. * The Spectracom Geo-PNT product is a device capable of providing precise position, navigation, and timing. It is used for a variety of applications, but not limited to, unmanned autonomous systems (UAV), flight analyses, and communication networks. * Satcom-On-The-Move project will be a demonstration of Geo-PNT’s primary features. * This will be performed by tracking a geosynchronous point during movement and testing the accuracy. * A three axis system will be created in order to conduct accuracy tests on the Geo-PNT product in addition to showing integration and simplicity. * This will be handled by providing visual and written test documentation, as well as a final marketing video. MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move 7

8. 8 * A system capable of demonstrating pitch, roll, and yaw while maintaining closed-loop control. * Full written and video documentation of the system including a full drawing package. * Final summary and test report. * Promotional video demonstrating the system and the Geo-PNT’s capabilities.

9. MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move 9 * Use a commercial TV satellite installed on an elevation over azimuth motorized mount attached to a vehicle. * This would offer a way to demonstrate the proper stable tracking of the satellite within a specified range of accuracy by the Geo-PNT. * The validation of the Geo-PNT is in proper reception of the TV signal without interruption throughout all motion of the vehicle. * Take Away Concept: Geo-PNT is navigated around and proven to maintain signal (or track the signal) from the satellite.

10. MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move 10 * Interface a camera with the Geo-PNT to track a specified object or target. * The camera, Geo-PNT, and transmitting antenna would be attached or mounted to a vehicle. * A video display will be setup at a remote location that will show a live feed of the camera view as it tracks the specified object. * Take Away Concept: This demonstrates the capabilities of the Geo-PNT, and offers a more economical solution in terms of equipment and feasibility.
