Start date: 23/01/2018The Galileo System Time (GST) timescale is the cornerstone for the operations and performance of the Galileo System. It should be stable, traceable and always available. The current system time is provided via a physical on-ground clock which limits the performance. A time scale built with pulsar measurements, i.e. measurements from celestial objects emitting radiation in pulses, would typically…Subcontractors

Start date: 15/01/2019The current evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, together with the proliferation in the last years of cloud platforms where storage and processing of data can, ideally, be handled on demand, has boosted the appearance of new applications and services in the positioning domain of potential interest for specific use cases. In particular, the processing in the cloud of GNSS… -
Start date: 01/06/2019Precise relative positioning in MEO (Medium Earth Orbit, at altitudes ranging between 2,000 and 36,000 km) exploiting GNSS is a subject that has been little explored while having high potential for enabling an interesting set of applications based on space-to-space interferometry. Establishing accurate inter-satellite baselines based on GNSS measurements would open the door to new missions at… -
Start date: 05/07/2019DDK Positioning will develop and deliver a Precise Positioning Service that will be delivered on the Iridium Communication Satellite Service. As a new global positioning service, new and unique characteristics of the service will be developed, with the aim of delivering a service for large volume markets, these characterises will be: • Network robust • Instantaneous start up…Prime contractor

Start date: 16/09/2019There are an increasing number of IoT applications, and projections show that global Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) connections will increase by almost one order of magnitude in the next five years. Terrestrial networks are continuously targeting evolutions of the IoT markets. For example, the latest release of 3GPP standards has introduced modifications to their standard (e.g. NB-IoT) to comply with… -
Start date: 05/03/2021The project aims to develop a Cloud-based Snapshot GNSS solution that provides augmented levels of sensitivity, potentially extending the use of GNSS PNT services to degraded, or even currently denied scenarios, such as urban canyons or mild indoor facilities. Within the project, Albora is developing a disruptive technology, ALCORE, based on the combination of high sensitivity techniques and… -
Start date: 19/02/2021Envisage Space has developed analytical software which we call RelyMap, which is designed to analyse wide areas (pan-city/region) of a complex urban environment and identify areas where GNSS signal provision is either impacted or blocked due to anomalies such as building shadowing etc.RelyMap Enhance builds upon this technology and understanding to enable improved location accuracy for GNSS…Prime contractor

Start date: 21/03/2021Quantum metrology techniques show great potential to enhance both precision and security of existing PNT techniques. It has been shown that, by probing physical quantities using quantum states of light and/or matter, one can achieve a precision beyond the theoretical limit set by classical mechanics. This effect has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts and is particularly useful in optical… -
Start date: 07/01/2022The following specific objectives have been identified for the INSPIRe project: Investigate, develop and bench-test techniques and algorithms for autonomous user-level integrity monitoring, based on: ◾Dual-frequency multi-constellation GNSS ◾EGNOS (as a source of error characterisation of GNSS) ◾Dead Reckoning systems (inertial) Investigate, develop and bench-test equipment…Prime contractor
