  • 263 - SYSTEM FOR OBJECT QUANTIFICATION WITH MOBILE PNT AGENTS

    263 - SYSTEM FOR OBJECT QUANTIFICATION WITH MOBILE PNT AGENTS

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 06/10/2025
    Duration: 17 Months
    The project will develop a distributed edge–core system enabling fleets of mobile PNT agents (e.g., drones, rovers and handheld units) to detect objects in imagery, estimate their absolute positions by fusing agent PNT with multi-view geometry (SfM/Visual SLAM), and visualise results on a central map for operators. The system leverages ML-based feature detection, centralized coordination, and…

    073 bis - Trusted PNT for unmanned aerial systems

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 30/06/2024
    Duration: 12 Months
    This project aims to address the increasing drone safety risks by developing redundant sensing with an integrated multi-sensor system to ensure drone Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in various conditions. As GNSS becomes more vulnerable, there is a need for more resistant and robust drone PNT, which would maintain the accuracy even in the absence of GNSS. We will develop a…

    083 - Deployable satellite navigation antenna

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 02/04/2024
    Duration: 18 Months
    The objective of this activity is to design a prototype deployable satellite navigation antenna in Ka band. A review into possible use cases for such an antenna on a small sat platform, to be used for navigation functions in combination with mega constellations shall be performed. A trade-off between different design solutions shall be performed, such as deployable helical or reflectors, and the…

    183 - WISDOM

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 03/01/2024
    Duration: 24 Months
    WISDOM (Wise Integration of Satellites PNT tracking Data using OWL for collision avoidance Management) is an ESA NAVISP-supported project that develops and demonstrates technologies for autonomous satellite collision avoidance. The mission will be carried out with a 6U CubeSat that separates into two 3U CubeSats, each equipped with GNSS and the OWL (Orbital Whereabout Locator) system for…

    050 - Proof of concept of hybrid 5G-NR/GNSS Positioning with ad-hoc overlay

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 16/04/2021
    Duration: 18 Months
    The Hybrid Overlay Positioning with 5G and GNSS (HOP-5G) project targets the demonstration of a 5G local overlay testbed for enhanced user positioning, in combination with GNSS and sensor technologies. Within this project, the HOP-5G consortium focuses on the exploitation of 5G innovative positioning enablers and their hybridisation with GNSS and sensors. This is based on the dedicated deployment…
