Muometric navigation
Muometric navigation is positioning, navigation and timing using cosmic ray muons and other cosmic particles. It is possible to determine locations with GNSS satellites with well-known positions and time. GNSS is often used by critically important governmental organizations for navigating ships and planes, but the signals can be easily jammed and spoofed. In 2020 Hiroyuki K.M. Tanaka created an entirely new approach from GNSS that locates the receiver's position with cosmic-ray muons. Muometric techniques include the muometric positioning system (muPS), the muometric wireless navigation system (MuWNS) or muPS Wireless Navigation System (muWNS), cosmic time synchronizer (CTS) and cosmic time calibrator (CTC). Positioning and navigation The muometric positioning and navigation techniques are based on the time-of-flight of relativistic cosmic-ray muons between reference detectors and the receiver detector usually located indoor, underground, or underwater. Instead of receiving a GNSS signal, they detect cosmic-ray muons. Three or more reference detectors are deployed with known positions and time-references. Like GNSS, clocks between the reference receivers and the receiver must be well-synchronized. Unlike GNSS, this technology enables navigation in Arctic areas where GNSS satellite access is limited due to orbital constraints of these satellites. The initial prototype required wiring between the receiver and each reference
