Satellite data is used in several applications to assist positioning of mobile work machines. The next step is towards mobile work machines having more autonomy. In this development, sensor data fusion, signal processing and artificial intelligence are essential technologies together with 5G and satellite data. Mobile work machines rely more on radars, cameras and local…

GPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…

The Cybersecurity Test & Evaluation Facility (CyTEF) primary goal is to provide cybersecurity research, test and evaluation services which address the changing threat landscape to the Space and Air Transportation Systems in Belgium, and most particularly possible, state-of-the-art  cyber-attacks on UAS command-and-control, payload data and navigation systems. CyTEF will be deployed and…

OHB Digital Solutions GmbH (OHB) and IZT - Innovationszentrum für Telekommunikationstechnik GmbH (IZT) are successfully cooperating in the field of GNSS signal generation. Currently IZT uses their S1000 / S1010 RF Signal Generator as a hardware platform and OHB provides it’s GNSS Constellation & Signal Generation Software – GIPSIE®. In the current set-up for simulating GNSS RF signals,…

Compact (few cc volume) and low power consumption (< 200 mW) atomic clocks (also known as Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks, CSAC) have become commercially available in the last decade and have demonstrated their benefits for a wide range of applications, such as PNT in adverse environment (long coherent integration), secure telecommunication or for timing hold-over in case of loss of GNSS or other network…
