    217 - GNSS Snapshot User Terminal

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 10/01/2025
    Duration: 15 Months
    The GNSS-SUT project is targeting the snapshot technology market. Current tracking applications are usually done by conventional real-time GNSS receivers where the processing chain is done on board of the device. This comes with high power cost due to the computational effort required. In a snapshot-based approach, the computational processing (highpower demanding) load is done on a remote server…
