D. Litton Jim
Litton, the President and CEO of NavCom Technology, Inc., is a recognized
industry leader with a successful 38-year career in senior management
positions at a number of high-tech companies. As Senior Vice President
and General Manager of Magnavox's commercial satellite communications
and GPS businesses, his division grew from less than $5 million per
year to over $60 million per year in annual sales. Aside from receiving
a number of patents and writing numerous technical papers in plasma
physics, navigation systems and communications systems, Mr. Litton's
organizations have accomplished a number of "firsts" ranging from the
first microprocessor-based commercial satellite navigation receivers
to the first digital TV tuning system. Under his direction, NavCom has
become a technical leader and rapidly growing commercial enterprise
in GPS and wireless communications technologies.
Ronald
R. Hatch Ron Hatch is the Director of Navigation Systems Engineering and
Principal and co-founder of NavCom Technology, Inc. He has served in
several positions for the Institute of Navigation (ION) and in June
2000 was elected Executive Vice President of ION and a Fellow. In 1994,
he received the highest honor of the ION's Satellite Division, the Johannes
Kepler Award for sustained and significant contributions to satellite
navigation. Throughout his 30-year career in satellite navigation systems
with companies such as Boeing and Magnavox, Ron has been noted for his
innovative algorithm design for Satellite Navigation Systems. He has
consulted for a number of companies and government agencies developing
dual-frequency carrier-phase algorithms for landing aircraft, multipath
mitigation techniques, carrier phase measurements for real time differential
navigation at the centimeter level, algorithms and specifications for
Local Area Augmentation System (LAAS), high-performance GPS and communication
receivers, and Kinematic DGPS. In addition to the Hatch-Filter Technique,
Mr. Hatch has obtained numerous patents and written many technical
papers involving innovative techniques for navigation and surveying
using the TRANSIT and GPS navigation satellites, authored Escape
From Einstein in which he challenges competing relativity and ether
theories and contributed significantly to the advancement of satellite
navigation.
Dr.
K.T. Woo Dr.
Woo is the Director of Advanced Systems Engineering and a Principal
and co-founder of NavCom Technology, Inc.With 30 years of expertise
in GPS receiver design, spread spectrum communication and satellite
communication system engineering, Dr. Woo is the chief system designer
responsible for the innovative and high performance receivers that NavCom
has successfully developed for clients.Dr. Woo’s GPS and communication
systems related experience at NavCom includes system design and development
of a GPS/WAAS Avionics Receiver, a high performance, dual frequency
GPS survey receiver, a C-Band direct sequence spread spectrum DGPS receiver,
and an ISM-band spread spectrum radio. Prior to NavCom he has performed
system design and development of UHF-frequency hopping radios, satellite
terminals, telephone modems, multi-megabit telemetry receivers, and
the payload system engineering for a number of communication satellites
including NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite. Along with
an impressive list of patents, he has published over 30 papers in technical
journals and conferences and is co-author of Communication and Nuclear
Scintillation, a book on spread spectrum communications.At
the recent ION GPS’99 conference, Dr. Woo was given the Institute of
Navigation Best Technical Paper Award for his paper Optimum
Semi-Codeless Carrier Phase Tracking of L2presented
at the Receiver Systems and Technology Session.
Dr.
Jalal Alisobhani Dr. Jalal Alisobhani is the Director of Product Development and
a Principal and co-founder of NavCom Technology, Inc. He has over 20
years of experience in successfully directing the design and development
of several satellite and Wireless communication systems. At Magnavox,
he was responsible for development of Inmarsat-M marine terminals, which
are used for global voice communication over Inmarsat satellite network.
As Vice President of Engineering in STM Wireless, he developed their
X.Star and DAMA networks, where the former was used for broadband data
communication over satellite and the latter for interconnection of multiple
telephone central offices to each other and to remote voice terminals.
Dr. Alisobhani holds a patent in Radar digital signal processing and
is a co-inventor of the modulations scheme being used in NavCom’s Spread
Spectrum Radio communication network.
