Start date: 07/04/2021Duration: 17 MonthsCurrent GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon). The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…Subcontractors

Start date: 20/03/2021Duration: 18 MonthsThe 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

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

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…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…Prime contractor

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,… -
There's huge untapped potential from wind power at high altitudes. The Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES) provides access to these higher and powerful winds using a compact tethered aircraft. One of the problems of the AWES is to have a reliable navigation solution that functions even in case of GNSS outages. DroneHome project aims to tackle that problem by developing a very low cost and…Subcontractors

Start date: 27/02/2020Duration: 15 MonthsGPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…Subcontractors
