The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc.
System Test Facilities
GPS Simulators
- Simulate up to 30 satellites in a highly repeatable environment
- GPS operational and performance assessment under multipath and jamming conditions
- User-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)
- Trajectory can be synchronized with motion simulators for integrated system assessment
GPS RF Antenna
- Provides coverage from 1.0 to 2.5 GHz, including L1, L2, and L5
- Multiple feeds within Draper for testing, simulation, and clock synchronization
- Multiple GPS antennae provide for live, multipath, and real-time kinematic tests
Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) & System Integration
- Integrated, real-time evaluation of flight hardware/software
- Repeatable controllability and observability of all input/output to the system under test
- Creates off-nominal conditions and tests response to fault conditions
- Provides visualization, scenario recording, and playback
