    052 - Robust navigation of airborne autonomous systems with carrier phase of ARNS signals (RAASPAS)

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 21/12/2022
    Duration: 18 Months
    GNSS 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…

    061 - ESA Navigation Payload Demonstrator of Future LCNS Satellites

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 13/12/2022
    Duration: 12 Months
    Moon 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…

    066 bis: Deeply Coupled GNSS Vector Tracking Loop

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 08/12/2022
    Duration: 16 Months
    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…

    Element 2 - Competitiveness in PNT
    Start date: 06/05/2022
    Duration: 27 Months
    Timing 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…

    040 - Next Generation network-assisted PNT assurance

    Element 1 - Innovation in satellite Navigation
    Start date: 27/10/2021
    Duration: 24 Months
    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,…

    017 - UK Time Distribution (UTD)

    Element 3 - Support to Member States
    Start date: 05/10/2021
    Duration: 30 Months
    UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) is at significant risk from the loss of access to GNSS for PNT. LF systems such as eLoran can provide a highly robust complement to GNSS. An eLoran transmitter can serve applications hundreds of miles away but the accuracy of the time transfer depends on the radio propagation (at ground level) between the transmitter and the receiver. At levels of…
