GNSS is the only global, free, comprehensive technology providing absolute PNT data to users worldwide. Its limitations are known, including long life cycle and replenishment schedule, affecting their ability to adapt easily to short-term market needs and to some extent, resilience. Considering the above, alternative PNT methods and solutions have been developed or are being investigated,…Prime contractor

Current IMO work on guidelines for shipborne PNT data processing will define a high level framework for the processing and combination of data of multiple systems and sensors in a maritime PNT receiver. The definition of IMO guidelines are expected to significantly progress in the course of 2017. Therefore, it is considered of paramount importance to complement this work with further studies on…Prime contractor

The Galileo System Time (GST) timescale is the cornerstone for the operations and performance of the Galileo System. It should be stable, traceable and always available. The current system time is provided via a physical on-ground clock which limits the performance. A time scale built with pulsar measurements, i.e. measurements from celestial objects emitting radiation in pulses, would typically…Prime contractor

The current evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, together with the proliferation in the last years of cloud platforms where storage and processing of data can, ideally, be handled on demand, has boosted the appearance of new applications and services in the positioning domain of potential interest for specific use cases. In particular, the processing in the cloud of GNSS…Prime contractor

The project is the development of a new type of smartgrid distribution automation sensor platform which uses high speed waveform analysis and high accuracy time stamping to provide electricity Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) with detailed high fidelity information about the operation of their distribution network. The platform will be designed in such a way that it provides a flexible… -
The use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellite based navigation is ubiquitous where signals are used for both precision position and timing information. All systems, be they established or emerging, exploit predominantly low power, spread spectrum signals (typically -130dBm at the Earth’s surface) which are susceptible to both interference (intentional or otherwise) as well as… -
The current approach for precise orbit determination (POD) with GNSS is based on the collection of code and carrier phase measurements from space GNSS receivers and computation of precise orbit with ground post-processing tools. This approach is currently adopted in multiple missions (e.g. Earth Observation LEO missions), but it has the principal limitation of not being in real time. This…Prime contractor
