Milestones and Deliverables
The main deliverable of this project will be algorithms, software, and systems targeted at making full use of a modernized GNSS, maintaining Canada in the forefront on technology related to it. Other deliverables will be in the form of new knowledge and methodology, and refereed papers. One workshop per year will be organized. All project participants, including graduate students and post-doctorate fellows will be solicited to attend as well as external researchers from Canada, U.S. and Europe. Intellectual Property (IP) will be held by current rules and regulations.
