Abstract:	Development of advanced navigational systems using conventional approach is time consuming and expensive. Recent developments in digital electronics allowed us to develop a complete development system suite, which heavily relies on software based real-time implementation. A complete platform consisting of downconverters, A/D’s, various processors, associated electronics and software suite has been developed for the design and development of current and future navigational systems. The user friendly system allows simulation as well as real time implementation of high performance dual frequency GPS receivers with a variety of architectures. It allows development of M-code, Galileo and future receivers. Users can design and build customized architectures, modify existing architectures, evaluate performance under stimulated as well as live scenarios and deploy the developed architecture, all using the same open architecture system development products. Various functional elements are provided which can be put together to design and develop a variety of advanced navigation systems. The advanced system has been used for the development of various novel architectures including beamforming, multipath monitoring and mitigation, scintillation monitoring and mitigation, interference rejection etc. The development system reduces the time for development of advanced architectures by about an order of magnitude.
