Start date: 20/11/2025Duration: 24 MonthsGNSS technologies typically suffer significant accuracy issues in urban environments due to signal degradation caused by obstacles like buildings which block and reflects GNSS signals leading to big positioning errors. The most dangerous impairments are due to specularly reflected Non-Line-Of-Sight (srNLOS) signals. Such errors can be attenuated through the application of the Intelligent Urban…

Start date: 04/09/2025Duration: 12 MonthsESA's NAVISP-EL1-077 project aims to develop a prototype Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system, focusing on secure positioning through GNSS and 5G encrypted signals. The initiative includes creating two emulators: a User Terminal Emulator (UTE) and a Service Provider Emulator (SPE). Qascom and the consortium have two main objectives: developing a testbed and a prototype User Terminal.…

Start date: 28/01/2025Duration: 24 MonthsCurrently, satellite navigation mainly relies on dedicated GNSS constellations in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO). With the increasing demand for resilient and ubiquitous Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), several initiatives are underway to diversify the orbits and frequencies for GNSS. However, the rise of mega-constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for global telecommunication…

MEDEA is an EGNSS/INMARSAT Rx multiband digital array antenna that covers the two bandwidths from 1150 up to 1290 MHz and from 1539 to 1610 MHz. MEDEA can be considered a sort of “applique equipment” for any standard GNSS receivers because of, in addition to gather RF signal from the outside space, it embeds a few features to improve the integrity of the receiver operations to which it is…
