PNT Simulation Systems

For any new GPS/GNSS-enabled device, thorough testing is essential – but the tests you run, and the standards you apply, will depend on what it is you’re developing, the ways it’s likely to be used, and the levels of performance your users expect.

It’s widely accepted that simulation is the primary tool for testing GNSS enabled equipment. However, selecting the right simulator is not simple. The first port of call should be to check the feature list – does the simulator offer the functionality you require? After this, though, you will need to establish whether the simulator performs as expected. Failure to do so could have catastrophic consequences for your product, and even your business.
