Pinpoint Faraday CASE Studentship: Development of a Personal, Low-Cost, Integrated Positioning System for Security Applications A partnership between QinetiQ and the University of Nottingham. An exciting opportunity to work with one of the world’s leading industrial players and the Institute of Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy (IESSG) - an internationally-renowned centre for research and postgraduate teaching. The research project will focus on the development of a low cost, portable, real time navigation solution, principally based on the integration of GPS and inertial sensors. QinetiQ is already looking to fully exploit augmented GNSS devices in difficult environments and the IESSG has a proven track record in GNSS-related research, and a history of successful collaboration with industrial partners.
