  • 025 - Multi-Sensor, Multi-System for Space PNT Applications

    025 - Multi-Sensor, Multi-System for Space PNT Applications

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 19/05/2021
    Date of Completion: 21/05/2021
    Position uncertainty during autonomous manoeuvres such as orbit-raising/de-orbiting requires that the local knowledge during low thrust (i.e. with electric propulsion) is accurately determined. Current orbit-raising assumes semi-autonomous control assisted by GNSS, with a long time integral to measure increasing altitude and trajectory of the satellite. The use of a hybrid GNSS unit that…

    075 - Bearer independent secure time transfer

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 13/03/2024
    The objective of the project is to focus on and implement existing time transfer data protocols (NTP, NTS...) and the feasibility of their integration in existing constellations. The scope is to study the overlay of data time transfer protocols (“Data TT”) onto satellite communication protocols. However, the perspective to study 5G NTN frames (“5G TT”) is not left out. The proposed…

    008 - Weather Monitoring Based on Collaborative Crowdsourcing

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 18/01/2018
    The use of GNSS observations from reference stations for the derivation of Integrated Water Vapour and assimilated into Numerical Weather Prediction Models has been demonstrated and is in use for weather prediction. With the emergence of multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS the possibilities of weather prediction with GNSS are increasing dramatically. Furthermore, with the emergence of…

    036 - Precise positioning for mass-market: optimal data dissemination demonstrator

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 04/11/2019
    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…

    034 - AI-enabled baseband algorithms for high-fidelity measurements

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 15/06/2020
    Critical applications such as autonomous vehicles and machine control require high fidelity raw measurements in challenging environments. In spite of significant progress made in recent years, for those applications GNSS performance remains unsatisfactory in terms of reliability in challenging environments, therefore requiring improvement. The main challenges lie in handling transfer functions…

    088 - AGC Box - Positioning and guidance box for autonomous robots

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 09/02/2021
    The AGCbox uses an internally developed RTK algorithm for a centimetric and safe precision in agricultural environments. Using the integrity of the position, the Geofencing of robots is made possible. The robot stops if there is a doubt on its position. Integrity is a key element for a precise weeding without harming neither the crops nor people outside the outline.  It is mainly a user-friendly…

    040 - Next Generation network-assisted PNT assurance

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 27/10/2021
    The demand for accurate, reliable and secure Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) solution, from a number of different applications include the National Critical Infrastructures (CNI), is increasing. GNSS is a key technology for high-performance PNT, due to its high levels of accuracy, global coverage and its lack of service cost. On the other hand, the spoofing of GNSS is an evolving threat,…

  • 070 - Advanced MEOSAR Test Beacon Setup

    070 - Advanced MEOSAR Test Beacon Setup

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 28/03/2023
    MEOSAR is the new reference for Cospas-Sarsat system, relying on SAR payloads deployed on all GNSS constellations and MEOLUTs deployed worldwide. The first two MEOLUTs (Florida, France) have been officially approved in 2016. However, first operational results have rapidly shown a performance degradation compared to LEOSAR when the beacon was moving. Since then, it evolved to take into account…
