GPS/INS LAB

The GPS/INS Lab is an experimental laboratory for testing of GPS and inertial navigation systems (INS). A van equipped with a moving platform on the roof is used as a test bed. The platform can be programmed to move in compliance with actual wave motions by using wave amplitude measurements.
