Re-Evolving Nature’s Best Positioning Systems for People and Their Machines

其目的是开发下一代定位能力，减少澳大利亚对其他国家拥有的脆弱GPS卫星日益危险的战略依赖，并通过增强自动化和机器人技术实现澳大利亚最重要部门的转型。我们的方法重新进化，重新设计，并重新组合了自然界最好的定位系统的最佳性能和最佳理解组件，以及传感和计算方面的新技术进步。预期成果是高性能定位系统，提高澳大利亚领先产业的竞争力，并提供国防部门所需的定位可靠性，以确保澳大利亚的安全。

The aim is to develop next-generation positioning capabilities that reduce Australia’s increasingly risky strategic reliance on vulnerable GPS satellites owned by other countries, and that enable transformation of Australia’s most important sectors through enhanced automation and robotics. Our approach re-evolves, re-engineers, and re-combines the best performing and best understood components of nature’s best positioning systems with new technological advances in sensing and computation. The expected outcomes are high-performance positioning systems that improve the competitiveness of Australia’s leading industries and provide the positioning reliability required by the defence sector to keep Australia secure.
