Compact Antenna for Pulsar based Positioning and Acquisition (CAPPA) project investigates whether compact radio-frequency antennas can be designed to detect signals from pulsars, which are fast-rotating neutron stars that produce highly accurate pulsation signals. Such signals have the potential to support future autonomous navigation systems, especially in situations where satellite navigation…

The aim of the project is to demonstrate selected time and frequency transfer (UTC) techniques based on fibre optic networks. The implementation of such techniques, complementary to GNSS, is crucial to ensure the proper functioning of both the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and the various sectors of the economy. The project involves demonstrating two alternative scenarios for fibre-optic…

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…

Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) concerns the successful resolution of unknown integer ambiguities present in carrier-phase measurements, which exhibit millimeter-level precision. In the context of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise positioning and navigation, the IAR process is fundamental, as once ambiguities are correctly resolved, the phase data acts as ultra-precise…

Following the Dutch studies on GNSS vulnerabilities IKUS-I and IKUS-II, it was found that GNSS knowledge within organizations from the Dutch Critical Infrastructure sectors requires to be deepened and distributed. To protect Critical Infrastructure during their operations, there is a clear need to be aware of what GNSS is, what the dependencies including the risks are for an organisation and how…
