Start date: 13/09/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThe EPIC aims to address to develop algorithms and a SW simulator for combined usage of GNSS, LEO-PNT and 5G terrestrial transmitters to achieve high precision PPP-IAR solutions even in urban environments. The drivers for this activity are: ▪ Usage of alternative-PNT (LEO-PNT, 5G) means, in case GNSS is partially or fully not available ▪ Usage of additional-PNT (LEO-PNT, 5G) means…Subcontractors

Start date: 11/09/2024Duration: 12 MonthsReliable Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) of carrier-phase measurements is critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) high accuracy positioning. State-of-the-art IAR strategies employ well-established processes (float estimation, decorrelation and searching) which, however, cannot deem efficient for real-time kinematic applications. Analytically, by virtue of weak models, biases…Prime contractor

The management of rail logistics heavily relies on digital tools, where transport management systems (TMS) are pivotal. Despite the widespread use of TMS in road and ocean freight, rail freight lags by two decades. Addressing this discrepancy, Rail-Flow introduces a Rail TMS that integrates diverse data sources, including the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and collaborates with kasasi…Subcontractors

The new Dynamic Optical Ranging & Timing (DORT) system opens up new possibilities for time and frequency transmission, especially in the NewSpace range. Due to its compactness and robustness, the system can be easily implemented in a CubeSat. In this project, the application of a satellite time bridge will be considered in particular. This is an alternative to realise (inter-)continental clock…Prime contractor
