Start date: 23/01/2023Duration: 18 MonthsThere is an abundance of GNSS receivers deployed around the world providing measurements and PNT information, which are currently combined into networks for a variety of GNSS processing and monitoring applications. However, these receivers remain vulnerable and cannot be used to isolate all sources of error on all GNSS signals and constellations due to the processed nature of the receiver output,…

Start date: 21/12/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGNSS such as GPS are vulnerable, largely due to the tiny signal strength and the geometry of satellites in urban environments. Drone regulatory frameworks are progressing to where autonomous flight and operations Beyond Visual Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) are a possibility, thus driving the need for reliable navigation services to complement or act as a back-up to existing ones (chiefly GNSS). Trusted…

Start date: 13/12/2022Duration: 12 MonthsMoon exploration is emerging as the next global strategic priority in space exploration. Several dozens of commercial and institutional missions to the Moon are planned for the coming decades, with a major contribution also expected from ESA (e.g. Orion service module, ESA participation in Gateway lunar station and contribution to multiple lunar robotic missions). In spite of the wide variety of…

In conventional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, tracking is performed in several independent tracking loops that provide measurements (pseudo ranges, pseudo range rates, carrier Doppler) to a navigation algorithm (Kalman filter), controlling the Position, Velocity, Time (PVT) solution. In Vector Tracking Loop (VTL) , the two tasks of signal tracking and PVT estimations are…

Start date: 01/09/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGlobal 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…

Start date: 15/07/2022Duration: 18 MonthsThe main objective of the AALTO (Advanced ALgorithms and techniques for resilient Time prOvision) project is to combine different time sources with advanced algorithms, in particular Kalman filtering (in phase and frequency) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, in order to provide the required level of time accuracy, stability, availability and integrity to timing users. Two hardware and…

Start date: 16/06/2022Duration: 18 MonthsThis activity aims to investigate and prove the concepts of novel user segment VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) technologies to enhance key performance figures of positioning e.g. such as accuracy, integrity and security, and complement ongoing VDES investigations to improve APNT capabilities for relevant maritime use cases. This activity will also investigate and analyse the impact of the key…

This project will result in a cloud-based snapshot receiver that can provide users with high-precision positioning using real-time kinematics (RTK) algorithms. The system is one of its kind where snapshots of raw (i.e., I&Q) samples are transmitted from a receiver to a cloud server for processing. The receiver can be as simple as a radiofrequency (RF) frontend with connectivity to the internet.…

Start date: 06/05/2022Duration: 27 MonthsTiming and Synchronisation is a fundamental building block in 5G and GNSS systems that plays a pivotal role in the network operation. However, GNSS signals exhibit some vulnerabilities and there is an increasing need to augment them with supplementary technology to secure the required reliability and longevity. LEO-SYN+ project will develop a Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT) solution…

The product is a Software Defined GNSS receiver that is capable of exploiting the angle-of-arrival of GNSS signals through software processing alone (Supercorrelation) to provide higher levels of sensitivity, accuracy and integrity. The role of the product is to provide unique multipath mitigation, non-line-of-sight signal rejection, anti-spoofing and spoofer localisation capabilities without…
