  • 064 - BLOCK-BOX FOR AN OPTIMISED GNSS SPECTRUM MONITORING NETWORK USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

    064 - BLOCK-BOX FOR AN OPTIMISED GNSS SPECTRUM MONITORING NETWORK USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 23/01/2023
    Duration: 18 Months
    There 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,…

    052 - ROBUST NAVIGATION OF AIRBORNE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS WITH CARRIER PHASE OF ARNS SIGNALS (RAAPAS)

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 21/12/2022
    Duration: 18 Months
    GNSS 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…

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 13/12/2022
    Duration: 12 Months
    Moon 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…

    066 bis: Deeply Coupled GNSS Vector Tracking Loop

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 08/12/2022
    Duration: 16 Months
    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…

    057 - Development of advanced VDES-R user technologies for alternative PNT

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 01/09/2022
    Duration: 18 Months
    Global 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…

    056 - Advanced algorithms and techniques for resilient time provision

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 15/07/2022
    Duration: 18 Months
    The 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…

    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.…
