positioning and navigation. Hemisphere GNSS develops and sells high-accuracy commercial satellite-based_x000D_
positioning / navigation products and services for a wide variety of land and sea applications. One service_x000D_
provides GNSS satellite orbit and clock corrections to users via a satellite communications link allowing for_x000D_
so-called real-time Precise Point Positioning (PPP). The PPP measurement processing technique, with a few_x000D_
limitations, provides few centimetre-level positioning and navigation capabilities to a user anywhere on or_x000D_
above the surface of the Earth, as opposed to the few metre-level for uncorrected GNSS. The company is_x000D_
interested in improving its real-time so-called PPP GNSS measurement processing user service by applying an_x000D_
additional ionospheric refraction correction._x000D_
The GNSS Laboratory at York University, with its extensive experience in PPP algorithm development and_x000D_
error modelling, has been requested to support Hemisphere in this complex task. The combined team will: 1)_x000D_
develop computer code to incorporate corrections from a prototype ionospheric model into the user-positioning_x000D_
algorithm; 2) alter components of the algorithms, and subsequently the relevant computer code, to make best_x000D_
use of these corrections; and 3) test the resulting user positioning solution performance post-modification. The_x000D_
two groups will work as one integrated team for this project to enhance the Hemisphere software, so that the_x000D_
resulting software technology will satisfy the company's requirements and produce a joint research publication._x000D_
Hemisphere GNSS has a proven track record as an exporter of high-tech, high-value Canadian products, and_x000D_
the results of this grant will allow this innovative company to continue to improve its products and grow its_x000D_
