Position, Navigation and Wireless Location

The ability to locate oneself on the earth and in its vicinity and navigate over its surface is knowledge that has fascinated humankind for millennia. Positioning, Location and Wireless Navigation is a core theme of Geomatics Engineering. It covers airborne positioning and navigation, precise static and kinematic land positioning for vehicle and other applications, positioning on and under the oceans (hydrography), industrial metrology and the mathematical tools to calculate and analyze positioning systems and their measurements. Many of these techniques are based on the use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) such as Global Positioning System (GPS).
