Precise positioning for mass-market: optimal data dissemination demonstrator
- Status date: Monday, 18 November, 2019
  Until recently, RTK and PPP technologies have been developed for professional applications, the price not being affordable for mass-market users. Over the last couple of years, however, impressive breakthroughs have been witnessed for mass-market applications. While multi-band GNSS will provide an improved user experience in many consumer settings, the solution alone cannot deliver sufficiently…
GNSS vulnerability & mitigation in Czech Republic
- Status date: Wednesday, 13 November, 2019
  The project "GNSS vulnerability & mitigation in Czech Republic " is developed by the GNSS Centre of Excellence (GCE) together with the Space Systems Czech (SSC). The High-level objective of the project is to support Czech Republic’s activities related to the GNSS/PNT vulnerability. This will be fulfilled by two specific objectives (SO), namely: (SO1) to create a complex overview of (critical)…
ReSPOnSe
- Status date: Friday, 01 November, 2019
  ReSPOnSe will focus on upgrading a snapshot based receiver which will enhance battery lifetime without compromising performance. This will be achieved by focussing on upgrading the acquisition (and to a certain limit the Position & Time (P&T)) algorithms within the existing snapshot receiver.
Alternative Space-based PNT data layer
- Status date: Monday, 14 October, 2019
  In the last years, there has been fast progress in satellite on-board computing achieved by the satellite telecommunication industry. On-board processors are more performant, with less mass, volume and power consumption. As regards current and evolving space-based PNT data layer services (e.g. private or public GNSS data augmentations), they usually retransmit data computed on-ground via…
GNSS Interference Monitoring and Detection System (GIMAD).
- Status date: Wednesday, 06 November, 2019
  The GIMAD tool is an interference detection portable station designed to efficiently detect and support the location of threats that can endanger satellite-navigation based critical activities. This system will allow users to monitor permanently the GNSS environment in the geographical areas where these critical activities take place. These activities includes positioning, navigation or timing…
