Developments for resilient navigation
Context:
For several years now, ISL has been developing navigation techniques based on multi-sensor fusion (inertial, magnetometer, radionavigation), and has the resources and tools to develop and test solutions in environments representative of the targeted applications.
GNSS is today the leading technology for global positioning. This leading role is challenged by radio frequency interference that aim at failing the GNSS service. Therefore, it is important to develop resilient navigation. Resilient navigation includes the detection/mitigation of electronic threats as well as using alternative technologies or augmentation to GNSS.
Internship description:
The objective of this internship is to participate in the set up and development of a resilient navigation solution. To this end, ISL’s Sensors, Telemetry and Communication (STC) team is looking for an intern to take part in the development of a resilient navigation solution, for a period of 6 months, based in Saint-Louis for a starting date in February/March 2024.
You will be in charge of the following activities:
- Implementation/integration of positioning algorithms on signal processor
- Data collection in real environment
- Validation tests
- Writing of reports
Experiences and skills desired for the internship:
- You are in 3rd year telecommunication engineer, or digital signal processing engineer, electronic engineer, or a similar academic background
- You have good multidisciplinary technical knowledge
- You master the Matlab/python tool, the C/C++ language
- You have good interpersonal skills and like teamwork
- Academic level: 3rd year telecommunication engineer, or electronic engineer, or digital signal processing engineer, or a similar academic background.
- Duration: 6 months
- Supervisor: Nabil JARDAK
The internship will take place at the Institut Franco-Allemand de Recherche de Saint Louis (ISL) within the STC team.
