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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Start date: 06/05/2022Duration: 27 MonthsTiming and Synchronisation is a fundamental building block in 5G and GNSS systems that plays a pivotal role in the network operation. However, GNSS signals exhibit some vulnerabilities and there is an increasing need to augment them with supplementary technology to secure the required reliability and longevity. LEO-SYN+ project will develop a Positioning Navigation and Timing (PNT) solution…

The demand for accurate, reliable and secure Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) solution, from a number of different applications include the National Critical Infrastructures (CNI), is increasing. GNSS is a key technology for high-performance PNT, due to its high levels of accuracy, global coverage and its lack of service cost. On the other hand, the spoofing of GNSS is an evolving threat,…
