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: 01/03/2019This activity represents an innovative concept to realise Positioning, Navigation and Timing using neutrino particles. At present, standard navigation approaches – including satellite navigation – rely on direct line-of-sight RF and optical communications. Neutrinos move at around the speed of light, have no electric charge and are low mass, thus showing very low interaction with normal…Subcontractors

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
