THE INSA (Institut National des Sciences Appliquées) of TOULOUSE is under the authority of the ministry responsible for Higher Education, and is authorised to award a diplôme d’ingénieur, a Master’s degree in engineering. It is part of a Network of 5 INSAs located in Lyon, Rennes, Rouen and Strasbourg.

The ENAC (Ecole Nationale de l'Aviation Civile) is the French university for civil aviation. It proposes various training programs: pilots, engineers, technicians and air traffic controllers. The work for the contribution to the new algorithms suited to cope with multipath and interference as well as new hybridisation will be performed at ENAC within the LTST (Laboratoire de Traitment du Signal pour les Telecommunications).

This lab is a part of the electronic systems department. It is in charge of satellite radionavigation activities and has acquired a large experience through many studies conducted with companies, universities and the French administration for transport.

Examples of technical experience is presented below. The presentation is organised according to the two main types of research activities of the lab: academic research (Ph.D., Post-Doctorate, Research) and the expertise actions.

Ph.D., Post-Doctorate, Research:
-  Analysis of the effect of multipath on GPS receivers
(Ph.D. presented 1997) - MR/CNES

-  Reduction of GPS acquisition/tracking thresholds (Post Doctorate completed Dec. 98) - STNA/CNES 

- End-to-end GPS simulator for Differential GPS Ref. Station
(Post Doctorate completed Dec. 99) – STNA/SEXTANT

- Study of the contribution of GNSS/INS hybridisation to GNSS integrity monitoring for civil aviation application (Ph.D. presented 2003) - STNA/SEXTANT

- Improvement of GNSS integrity performance in presence of jammers
(Ph.D. to be presented in Sep. 2004) – MR/STNA

- Improvement of robustness of GNSS/INS hybrid navigator
