ONLINENOW NOW CONVENIENTLY ONLINE 2018 GPS WORLD RECEIVER SURVEY Now in its 26th year the annual GPS World Receiver Survey provides the longest running most comprehensive database of GPS and GNSS equipment available in one place With information provided by 46 manufacturers on 489 receivers the survey assembles data on the most important equipment features Manufacturers are listed alphabetically Footnotes and abbreviations at right supply additional information to guide you through the survey We have made every effort to present an accurate listing of receiver information but GPS World cannot be held responsible for the accuracy of information supplied by the companies or the performance of any equipment listed In some cases data had to be abbreviated or truncated to fit

Mike Jones CONTRIBUTING EDITOR DEFENSE PNT U ntil now the military has relied on the encrypted P Y code to provide advantage on the battlefield M code is quite a different picture Rather than the traditional BPSK modulation schemes used by legacy signals M code utilizes a type of binary offset carrier BOC signal Among the promises of M code is the ability to use spotbeam transmissions from Block III satellites Quantum technology has for some time been touted as the future of PNT clocks so accurate that youll never need to worry about timing again Inertial measurement units that have so little drift youll never need anything else for navigation Quantum technolog y exploits science that cannot be explained by classical physics such as Newtonian mechanics thermodynamics and Maxwells
