Start date: 01/09/2022Date of Completion: 28/02/2024Global 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: 19/05/2021Date of Completion: 21/05/2021Position uncertainty during autonomous manoeuvres such as orbit-raising/de-orbiting requires that the local knowledge during low thrust (i.e. with electric propulsion) is accurately determined. Current orbit-raising assumes semi-autonomous control assisted by GNSS, with a long time integral to measure increasing altitude and trajectory of the satellite. The use of a hybrid GNSS unit that…Prime contractor

Start date: 30/03/2022Development of highly flexible low cost and fully software configurable system employing the latest digital signal processing techniques to provide protection against interference of the GNSS signals. The system consists of a multi-element Controlled Radiation Pattern Antenna (CRPA) and a software defined Digital Antenna Control Unit (DACU). The activity is continuation of a two… -
Start date: 19/12/2018RASA is a technology that can be integrated into a GNSS receiver to make the GNSS receiver more robust. It is a spoofing detection algorithm used to detect counterfeit OS signals received by a GNSS receiver on a moving platform. The RASA solution is a software embedded application add-on to existing Rockwell Collins GNSS receivers with the goal of ensuring the end product is International Traffic…Prime contractor

Start date: 16/03/2019Accucom will develop a ‘Ground Based’ Positioning system, enabling 'Navigation Anywhere', with guaranteed accuracy, unaffected by atmosphere, in the fractions of metres. This will be achieved through a low-cost stand-alone Ground Infrastructure, and a mobile radio ranging system using trilateration to calculate a position. This Development stage, estimated at 1 year, will consist of… -
Start date: 24/04/2020Secure and reliable time transfer is a key enabler for the next generation of services worldwide. A number of different applications such as 5G mobile broadband, mobile multimedia broadcast, power grids, terrestrial positioning services, financial operations, IoT, big data and cloud processing will require accurate, secure and reliable time information to be able to work consistently and…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/06/2020Critical 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

Start date: 20/03/2021The PLATONIC project is to develop cooperative positioning and integrity concepts and algorithms for vehicle platooning. The innovative positioning and integrity concept and algorithms for the vehicle platooning would be based on GNSS (e.g. PPP or moving based RTK), V2X communication, IMU/odometer and V2V relative ranges. In order to demonstrate the developed concepts and to gather…Subcontractors
