Global Navigation Satellite Systems

ALTEN Global Technologies is a Centre of Excellence for GNSS Technology with more than 31 years experience in R&D and product development holding multiple US patents. ALTEN Global Technologies has several experts with PhDs in GNSS areas from top Canadian and US universities.

ALTEN Global Technologies has indigenously designed, developed, and manufactured highly reliable Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Receivers and Navigation Systems suitable for Aircraft platforms, Artilleries and Tanks, Armoured vehicles, Hand-held receivers, Precision-guided munitions, UAVs, and many other embedded platforms.

Accord’s GNSS receivers have passed rigorous verification against Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Aerospace & Defence Contractors Accreditation Program (NADCAP) guidelines and standards. ALTEN Global Technologies has developed, certified and manufactured multiple variants of GNSS receivers compliant to FAA TSO-C145c Class Beta 3 GPS-SBAS receiver with design assurance to DAL B/C. The solutions have been developed specifically for the civil aviation market as well as many other applications without TSO authorization for a wide range of Consumer, Automotive, Marine, and Defence applications. Since 2007, more than 10,000 units have been delivered for service in General Aviation, Business Jets, Rotorcrafts, UAV and other platforms. The GNSS solutions include all constellations in operation currently (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, IRNSS, QZSS & SBAS).

The GNSS solutions are capable of Failure-free Operation under the most adverse conditions while delivering Superior Performance. Automatic handling of GPS-Week Rollovers is built-in in all the receivers.

Accord’s GNSS roadmap is shown below with the state-of-the-art technology developments to keep up with the constantly evolving requirements and newer constellations being commissioned.
