Calculation of Solar Azimuth and Application in Stakeout

Calculation of Solar Azimuth and Application in Stakeout

According to the solar orbit law, the azimuth and altitude angles of the Sun at a specific time and a certain latitude and longitude position can be accurately calculated in the local site coordinate system. The calculation of the exact position of the sun has been widely applied in various fields, such as meteorology and military. Similarly, in the engineering survey, particularly during the stakeout process, the Sun’s azimuth and the direction of the pole’s shadow can be used as a reference to easily determine the direction of the target. This can significantly help in reaching the target more quickly. This paper will introduce the process of calculating the Sun’s azimuth and its application in the stakeout process.

Evaluating the Quality of GNSS Raw Data

Evaluating the Quality of GNSS Raw Data

With the advancement of satellite navigation technology, an increasing number of positioning and navigation products have emerged in the market. The quality of raw GNSS data (observation and ephemeris data) is crucial, as it directly affects high-precision positioning accuracy. Data quality not only reflects product performance but also determines data processing strategies. As the core of GNSS-based positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services, the quality of observation data directly impacts PNT performance. This article focuses on the role and application value of data completeness rate and cycle slip ratio in GNSS data quality assessment.

Jamming and Spoofing: Differences and Impact on GNSS Positioning

Jamming and Spoofing: Differences and Impact on GNSS Positioning

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, play a crucial role in modern navigation, timing, and positioning applications. However, GNSS signals are vulnerable to intentional and unintentional interference, with jamming and spoofing being the two primary threats. Understanding the differences between the two attacks and their effects on GNSS positioning is essential for developing effective countermeasures.
