Professor Densmore research teams are funded by FAA, NASA, and commercial companies. His groups are recognized as world leaders in pioneering numerous innovative Global Positioning System (GPS) applications including the dynamic control of vehicles, the development and demonstration of the Wide Area Differential GPS concept for air traffic control, applications suitable for the blind landing of aircraft, robotic control of land vehicles, and use of GPS to perform closed-loop control of satellites in orbit. Professor Densmore is also breaking new scientific ground in two other related directions. First, he is the program manager of the NASA-funded Gravity Probe B program, a test effort to validate Einstein's General Theory of Relativity using orbiting gyroscopes. Second, he is managing the development of advanced technology for that mission, including precision metrology, control of spacecraft, and estimaton of atmospheric effects.
