Start date: 01/09/2022Date of Completion: 28/02/2024Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become the primary marine aid-to-navigation and source of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information. Yet, all GNSS are vulnerable to natural interference, deliberate and accidental jamming and spoofing. Trials have demonstrated that degraded GNSS produce hazardously misleading information and erroneous vessel positions without an alarm being…Prime contractor

Start date: 19/05/2021Date of Completion: 21/05/2021Position 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…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/06/2019Indra Navia AS has been developing GBAS GAST D ground station technology since 2010. This ground station is currently at a prototype stadium, with a few test installations at various airports, and has been successfully operating during long-term stability testing, functional testing and flight tests. In order to bring the product to market, a large effort is required in order to verify the… -
Start date: 08/01/2020Maritime transport is currently facing new challenges such as significant increases in transport volumes, more stringent environmental requirements and a shortage of seafarers in the future. One of the many new concepts having the potential to overcome these challenges is autonomous ship navigation. In particular, the concept is expected to allow for more efficient and competitive ship operations…Prime contractor

Start date: 17/08/2020Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information is widely used for a range of critical services. The main sources for PNT information are GNSS satellites. The RF signals provided by the GNSS satellites covers wide areas but are quite weak and vulnerable to unintentional or intentional interference. This has been experienced in Norway. In this project, the novel concept of utilizing the…Subcontractors

Start date: 01/03/2021This project is a direct follow-on of the original ARFIDAAS activity which builds on the successful execution of that project by leveraging the results to support the involvement of an additional nation, as well as the spectrum management authorities from both Norway and Finland. The project will address specific GNSS signal use challenges within Finland while also building a wider network of…Subcontractors

Start date: 21/10/2021The Indra Navia Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is currently transmitting corrections and integrity data for GPS only as this has been standardized by ICAO. ICAO is currently considering to amend the ICAO standards to include Galileo. The forecasted GAST F standard will be using multiple GNSS constellations and multiple frequencies (DFMC). The purpose of this project is to secure the…Prime contractor

Start date: 06/10/2022The activity is a development and qualification of a Compact Versatile SBAS down converter, for use in GEO and MEO Satellites distributing augmentation data for more accurate positioning. Satellite Based Augmentation Systems have regional systems like EGNOS in Europe, WAAS in the US, MSAS in Japan and so on. Such functions have been embarked on multiple satellites of the last decades, and will…Prime contractor
