Problem StatementThe Spectracom Geo-PNT product is a device capable of providing precise position, navigation, and timing. It is used for a variety of applications, but not limited to, unmanned autonomous systems (UAV), flight analyses, and communication networks.Satcom-On-The-Move project will be a demonstration of Geo-PNTs primary features.This will be performed by tracking a geosynchronous point during movement and testing the accuracy. A three axis system will be created in order to conduct accuracy tests on the Geo-PNT product in addition to showing integration and simplicity.This will be handled by providing visual and written test documentation, as well as a final marketing video. MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move7MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move8DeliverablesA system capable of demonstrating pitch, roll, and yaw while maintaining closed-loop control.

Full written and video documentation of the system including a full drawing package.

Final summary and test report.

Promotional video demonstrating the system and the Geo-PNTs capabilities.

MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move9Example Solution #1 Use a commercial TV satellite installed on an elevation over azimuth motorized mount attached to a vehicle. This would offer a way to demonstrate the proper stable tracking of the satellite within a specified range of accuracy by the Geo-PNT.The validation of the Geo-PNT is in proper reception of the TV signal without interruption throughout all motion of the vehicle.Take Away Concept: Geo-PNT is navigated around and proven to maintain signal (or track the signal) from the satellite.

MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move10Example Solution #2 Interface a camera with the Geo-PNT to track a specified object or target.

The camera, Geo-PNT, and transmitting antenna would be attached or mounted to a vehicle.

A video display will be setup at a remote location that will show a live feed of the camera view as it tracks the specified object.

Take Away Concept: This demonstrates the capabilities of the Geo-PNT, and offers a more economical solution in terms of equipment and feasibility.MSD I - Team P15310 - Satcom on the Move11Example Solution #2 Representation
