OVERVIEW
Nowadays, satellite navigation is becoming a more and more pervasive and enabling technology. In the last decade, users have been able to fix their position on the basis of ranging signals broadcast by satellites of GPS, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) owned by the USA government. However, at international level new systems are currently under development: Europe and China are deploying their own system Galileo and BeiDou, Russia has brought its GLONASS to be again fully operative, Japan and India are designing their regional systems. The expectation for the coming years is to have a Multi-GNSS environment where user equipment will be able to exploit the availability of many signals transmitted by different systems to achieve better performance. In this framework, GNSS providers are involved not only in the development of the systems but also in the promotion of all possible services enabled by the availability of new signals and systems. This represents a real boost for the introduction of applications in the worldwide market and a substantial amount of skilled personnel is needed to be engaged in production and management of innovative navigation-oriented applications. The II Level Specializing Master in Navigation and Related Applications (MNRA) is an effective answer to the work market demands in terms of high level technicians endowed with a broad vision of the navigation/ localization world but also with specific skills on related technical topics.
