The GNSS Event Notification Service (GENS) project’s aim is to create an initial national demonstration capability for GNSS event notification that is robust, secure and aligned to the UK national interest. In addition, GENS is planned to act as a catalyst to create a national centre for GNSS service threat identification and response. In support of the objective, GENS is also to provide…Subcontractors

GNSS signals are widely used for time synchronization purposes in many different application sectors, including telecom, finance and energy. Telecom service providers, in particular, consider GNSS-based synchronization well adapted to macro-cells whereas alternative synchronization technologies (e.g. wire-based solutions like Precise Time Protocol) are deemed more suitable for indoor small cells,…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/06/2020Duration: 12 MonthsCritical 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…Prime contractor

The project will develop an advanced GNSS receiver combined with an external clock that fulfils the requirements of ITU’s ePRTC standard. The main requirements of ePRTC are a maximum time error of 30 ns in locked mode (i.e., when using GNSS signals in nominal conditions), and a maximum time error of 100 ns after 14 days in holdover mode (i.e., after a total loss of GNSS signals). The potential…Prime contractor

There's huge untapped potential from wind power at high altitudes. The Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) provides access to these higher and powerful winds using a compact tethered aircraft. One of the problems of the AWES is to have a reliable navigation solution that functions even in case of GNSS outages. DroneHome project aims to tackle that problem by developing a very low cost and…Subcontractors

With the aid of co-funding from a previous NAVISP program, Cobham have started the research and development of a GNSS signal protection system using beamforming techniques implemented on a software define digital signal processing board. This previous activity, ‘Project VANTIGE’, has resulted in a number of study reports documenting the best implementation of such a system. Additionally, a… -
