The Institute of Geodesy and Navigation at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich was founded in 1983 and is responsible for teaching and research in the fields of Navigation, Signal Processing, Satellite Methods, Physical Geodesy (including Gravimetry and Potential Theory), Geophysics and Geodynamics.

The Institute is represented by Prof. Dr. Bernd Eissfeller, Full Professor of Navigation and Dr. Torben Schüler who is the Scientific Head of the Laboratory. Prof. Dr. Günter W. Hein, Full Professor of Physical Geodesy and Satellite Geodesy, is now absent for sake of position as ESA Head of Galileo Operations and Evolution. The Institute has an average staff of about full-time employed 20 scientists with a major of them being funded by third-parties. Research associates are recruited mainly from 5 different disciplines, i.e physics and electronics, aeronautical engineering, computer science and geodesy, in order to come up with the optimal solution for each task to be performed in the projects.
