A great number of civilian and military applications relies on GNSS for PNT, however its availability could be put at risk by threats such as local interference, amongst others. GNSS spectrum monitoring is essential for: detecting, characterising and localising interference sources, which could endanger the adequate reception and processing of GNSS signals; initiating a justified…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/01/2021Duration: 12 MonthsThe fast evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), commercial Cloud platforms, and the future 5G standards are boosting development of new applications and technologies in the PNT field. Devices are expected to be increasingly connected to Internet in the next few years, storage and processing of data in the Cloud is already a reality, with 5G expected to bring very soon higher data rates and… -
Covert Antenna Systems (CAS) in conjunction with The University of Nottingham, are developing a clip-on antenna system with coupler for mobile phones. This system will provide enhanced GNSS reception, enabling improved position estimation from mobile phones. In addition we will also take advantage of the opening of the Android GNSS interface to access the raw GNSS data to enable developers to… -
The ‘Developing Real World A-PNT Solutions Project’ will establish a multi-user, accessible service to deliver progressive, high-value experimentation and proof of concept activities to enable BVLOS drone operations in non-segregated airspace. A key tenet of this enterprise will be the establishment of novel A-PNT services which will accelerate capabilities necessary enable future drone…Subcontractors

The GNSS Event Notification Service (GENS) project’s aim is to create an initial national demonstration capability for GNSS event notification that is robust, secure and aligned to the UK national interest. In addition, GENS is planned to act as a catalyst to create a national centre for GNSS service threat identification and response. In support of the objective, GENS is also to provide…Subcontractors

GNSS simulations are an important toolset supporting system engineering trade-offs and decisions. They are used to display and monitor key system performance indicators as well as study system behaviour, both through synthetic scenarios and real data replay. Industry and ESA currently use different tools to simulate GNSS systems, however often constrained to undertake only one of two different… -
GNSS signals are widely used for time synchronization purposes in many different application sectors, including telecom, finance and energy. Telecom service providers, in particular, consider GNSS-based synchronization well adapted to macro-cells whereas alternative synchronization technologies (e.g. wire-based solutions like Precise Time Protocol) are deemed more suitable for indoor small cells,…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/06/2020Duration: 12 MonthsCritical 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

The project will develop an advanced GNSS receiver combined with an external clock that fulfils the requirements of ITU’s ePRTC standard. The main requirements of ePRTC are a maximum time error of 30 ns in locked mode (i.e., when using GNSS signals in nominal conditions), and a maximum time error of 100 ns after 14 days in holdover mode (i.e., after a total loss of GNSS signals). The potential…Prime contractor
