Cobra FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The S&T community requires the ability to innovate rapidly with different algorithms and sensors, with an emphasis on ease of use, tradespace analysis, novel algorithm development, and short learning curves, but with less emphasis on the ability to support fully embedded systems. Cobra was designed to meet this need.

  • Cobra is a specific implementation of the pntOS approach in Python. Since pntOS is only a plugin architecture, any solution created using pntOS is going to be unique from pntOS itself. Cobra is a set of plugins written in Python using the pntOS architecture.  

  • As GNSS-challenged environments are becoming more commonplace and new sensor capabilities are developed, PNT systems must quickly adapt. pntOS has real-time pluggability which enables rapid modification of both the sensor types and the integration strategies used to bring sensor data into the sensor fusion engine.
