In the context of the renewed interest in lunar exploration, the need for preparing the future user instrument for the new positioning service on the Moon has become very important, in particular for supplementing the current navigation techniques based on inertial sensors and cameras. A significant R&D effort is ongoing towards the development of dedicated lunar infrastructures for enhanced Moon…Subcontractors

Enhanced-LORAN (e-LORAN) represents the latest advancement in the well-established and reliable lineage of low-frequency (90 to 110 kHz) Long-Range Navigation (LORAN) systems. It offers a Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) service suitable for all modes of transportation and various other applications. The development of a miniature eLoran antenna marks a significant technological… -
AIPLAN is developing new PNT user segment products that provide comprehensive, indicative, and cost-effective solutions to structural & environmental monitoring thereby reducing cost and time, as compared to current ground motion & infrastructure survey solutions (i.e. multiple manual surveys and ground boring techniques). AIPLAN will provide high accuracy measurements of site settlement &…Subcontractors

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,… -
This project will deliver an MVP of DNA ( Details | Navigation | Addresses ), a smart mapping, addressing and navigation system. The system enables businesses or people to locate pins on maps, and then save them as a unique DNA address. Addresses can be shared by URL and QR code, listed publicly or shared privately, and can also have profiles of information attached to them, as well as list the… -
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…Prime contractor

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…Prime contractor

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…Prime contractor

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…
