GEONAV is a THALES innovative IoT solution, allowing real-time Indoor/Outdoor precise (<1m) tracking at PNT and User Ground Segments level and available worldwide. GEONAV positioning algorithms take advantage of two existing positioning technologies that have already proven themselves: E-GNSS (European Global Navigation Satellite System) and Ultra-Wide Band (UWB). In order to expand GEONAV…

The objective of the CAPRESE project is to assess, design and test techniques for improving the robustness of carrier phase measurements for use in GNSS positioning for virtual balise detection in ERTMS. 

Over the years, GNSS has become of prime importance with respect to the socioeconomic prosperity and critical for many industries. Yet, by design GNSS suffer some limitation. First, the GNSS signals from space are precariously weak, and can easily be blocked, damaged or compromised. Second, GNSS is also subject to local environment impact, such as masking and/or multi-path effects. This is…

The objective of the project is to develop and qualify a multi-frequencies GNSS and INMARSAT L-band antenna for CubeSat applications having the following characteristics: Compact and low profile: the antenna will fit in a CubeSat 1U panel with a maximum external height of 10 mm. This requirement is mandatory for CubeSat applications.  High performance: the antenna will have a stable phase…

The activity will develop a demonstration of secure radionavigation based on verifiable multilateration using existing wireless communication networks (e.g. 3G, LTE, WiFi). The platform will be based on a reconfigurable RF transceiver, complemented with software-defined radio communication functionality. Further evolution of the concept may seek to integrate space-based communication…
