Robotic antenna metrology presents interesting opportunities to investigate novel approaches to traditional antenna and communication system evaluation. In 2018 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) began exploring the use of robotic measurement for antenna and communication system metrology to address unique needs for traceability and in situ testing of a novel antenna for use in unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Since that initial development of the Portable Laser Guided Robotic Metrology (PLGRM) system many additional capabilities have been added to support a wide variety of aerospace applications. This paper provides an overview of the system itself, existing capabilities, benefits over other measurement approaches, and future work.
