elcano
elcano is a state-of-the-art tool for designing GNSS systems and assessing user navigation performances at application level. It allows its users to perform the following analyses:
- Optimize a constellation for user-defined target performances
- Determine the failure satellite statistics of a given constellation
- Analyze constellation stability over time
- Compute user positioning accuracy figures over a given service area
- Compute positioning availability and continuity risk over a given service area
- Characterize the covariance of the Orbit Determination and Time Synchronization (ODTS) process
- Characterize the covariance of a Precise Point Positioning (PPP) method
elcano includes a Man Machine Interface (MMI) that provides a set of utilities to configure and run analyses, as well as visually represent results.
