GPS is one of the main positioning services used in both military and civilian applications. It is possible to design a custom GPS Transmitter by using the SDR platform and periodically published Orbital Parameters. The realization of such a system brings spoofing threats for GPS Receivers. In this thesis, the baseband GPS signals are created by considering the pseudoranges and Doppler Frequencies for the specific user position with respect to the satellite positions whose orbital parameters are open to access. In addition, created baseband signals are translated to the RF stage through SDR, and the impact of the system on commercial GPS receivers are analyzed for the different kind of scenarios involving static and moving users in different directions. Finally, the hardware’s default TCXO-based clock is replaced with that of OCXO-based to examine its influence on the GPS performance. The performance of the suggested system is measured with the U-Blox and Mobile Phone’s GPS receivers. Also, the system is tested with receivers having access to the real GPS signals to explore the spoofing capability.

Interference Supression in GPS Receivers using Spatial Filtering

GPS receiver operation can be interrupted by intentional/unintentional jammers even with low power levels. As the jammers become more abundant, protection of critical systems gains importance. In this work, it is aimed to suppress the GPS L1 band jammers using spatial filtering with antenna arrays. After experimental studies, it is achieved to suppress the jammers and to recover the GPS operation in real environment.
Modelling and Testing of Terrain Aided Inertial Navigation Algorithms for Land Vehicles
Sonmez, T.; Ekutekin, V.; Ozkan, M. (2009-09-23)
Sensing the terrain and using it for aiding the inertial navigation system has been widely used in air platforms since the 1960's. TERCOM and SITAN are well-known algorithms for sensing the terrain with a radar altimeter and calculating a correction for the navigation states according to a digital elevation map. In the absence of GPS signals, it is extremely important to be able to make positional fixes. In this paper, first we developed a simulation environment for a conceptual application of TAN (Terrain ...
Modeling and simulation of a small-sized Tiltrotor UAV
Çakıcı, Ferit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2012-10-01)
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are remotely piloted or self-piloted aircrafts that can carry cameras, sensors, communication equipment and other payloads. Tiltrotor UAVs provide a unique platform that fulfills the needs for ever-changing mission requirements, by combining the desired features of hovering like a helicopter and reaching high forward speeds like an airplane, which might be a force multiplier in the battlefield. In this paper, the conceptual design and aerodynamical model of a realizable small...

Application of Beacon Navigation and Angle-Only Artillery Surveying Methods for INS Aiding on Aerial Platforms in GNSS Denied Environments
Guner, D. R. Levent; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Platin, Bülent Emre (2013-04-25)
In this work, an alternative navigation scheme for improving the performance of inertial navigation systems onboard guided munitions, missiles and unmanned platforms is investigated, to be used in case of a theater or country-wide GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) jamming scenario. Previously laid ground based beacon network is used by the aerial platform's EO/IIR (Electrooptic/ imaging infrared) seeker for bearing-only measurements and position updates are performed by the use of modified artillery...
