organisation profile
The Institute has been active for almost 40 years. Technological revolution has been a striking feature of this period, with major advances in terrestrial opto-mechanical equipment, automated acquisition systems, and the development of satellite-based systems such as Transit, GPS and GLONASS, EGNOS and the European Galileo system.
The Institute has excellent facilities and has earned global renown for its cutting edge research in these and related fields. This research feeds into the Institute’s post-graduate programmes which continue to generate worldwide demand and respect. The core of Institute research activity has traditionally focused around satellite navigation and positioning systems, this has widened to include fields such as photogrammetry, remote sensing, sensor integration and geographical information systems. The research ranges from fundamental science to application software solutions, with an ever increasing diversity, from engineering surveying to unmanned aerial vehicles. These activities are funded by Government and European bodies, research councils and industry.
