Resilience in Navigation, Intelligence in Surveillance.
NAVIS Lab develops the trusted positioning, navigation, and timing technologies that the connected world quietly depends on — engineered to remain reliable across every operational domain, from open ocean and contested airspace to the satellites overhead.
NAVIS / NAV-INTEL · KOR — Chungbuk National University. Operational domain: air, sea, land, space. Mission window: 2024 — continuous.
Mission & Vision
We lead innovation in navigation technology — to support safety, sovereignty, and trust in a connected world. From advanced GNSS and complementary systems to signal monitoring technologies, we develop the core technologies that secure the future of positioning. Our research bridges fundamental engineering principles with the safety-critical demands of aviation, shipping, and autonomous mobility.
We believe resilient navigation is not a feature — it is infrastructure. NAVIS Lab works at the layer where physics meets policy, building systems that are still trustworthy when the easy assumptions fail. Our work spans the full chain — from satellite signal integrity and ground-based augmentation to AI-driven anomaly detection across maritime and aerial traffic.
The NAVIS Code
NAVIS is more than a name — it is a set of principles that shape how we explore, decide, and grow as researchers.
- Novelty — we explore with curiosity and embrace the new.
- Attitude — we approach challenges with openness, honesty, and humility.
- Vitality
- Intelligence
- Synergy
