Start date: 03/05/2019GNSS technology has demonstrated its capability to provide very good performance in Europe up to LPV 200 based on GPS L1 (single frequency, single constellation) and is expected to reach CAT I Autoland with the future DFMC mode (Dual Frequency, Multi Constellations – GPS & GAL). It is very challenging to improve this performance, more specifically the 6-second Time To Alert (TTA) that seems…Prime contractor

Start date: 02/09/2020There are an increasing number of IoT applications, and projections show that global Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connections will increase by almost one order of magnitude in the next five years. Terrestrial networks are continuously targeting evolutions of the IoT markets. For example, the latest release of 3GPP standards has introduced modifications to their standard (e.g. NB-IoT) to comply with…Prime contractor

Start date: 20/09/2020The SRX project aims to develop an industrial prototype of a multi-GNSS multi-frequency GNSS receiver module, offering high-precision positioning and heading capability in adverse signal environments like forests. The usage of Galileo E5ab and BeiDou-3 B2 ACE-BOC wide-band signals integrated with MEMS sensor measurements is considered a key here to achieve robust vector tracking based solutions…Subcontractors

Start date: 04/09/2019The need for high accuracy PNT in challenging environments has become obvious and, henceforth, mandatory for many applications. Currently, an accuracy target of 1 m in an urban environment seems a realistic achievement with multi-GNSS PPP or RTK capabilities. A significant R&D effort is ongoing to reach this target in operational products, using carrier phase positioning (PPP and RTK) and European… -
Start date: 03/12/2019The exploitation of GNSS time as a reference source for timing and synchronisation processes is becoming fundamental for critical infrastructures like telecommunication networks, energy distribution grids, financial markets, and commercial aviation systems and networks. In the case of commercial aviation, GNSS time is used for: Positioning and timing for on-board navigation…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/05/2022New digitalization and automation applications in agriculture and automotive require precise GNSS positioning information in real-time, everywhere and always. In regions with limited mobile internet access, farmers have to use commercial PPP or PPP-RTK corrections provided in proprietary data formats via geostationary satellites with low elevation and therefore with unreliable reception. The…Subcontractors
