Open Opportunities

Open Call for Proposals

Submit a 6 pages Outline Proposal Under NAVISP Element 2, the permanent Open Call for Proposals focusses on the development of innovative competitive products in the Satellite Navigation and wider Position, Navigation and Timing domain. The objective is to boost Member States industrial competitiveness in the fast- evolving navigation sector. Proposals are welcome from space and…

Support for Institutional Projects

Focused on participating States’ priorities, the action  aims at supporting their national navigation activities along the whole value chain. Element 3 configures as an ad-hoc support element, which is envisaged per country and possibly per domain, for the development and promotion of products, applications and services based on GNSS and more widely on PNT systems. Following participating…

115 - ADAS Technology and PNT

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are technologies developed targeting a higher level of autonomous driving and security. These include, amongst others, alerting and warning, crash mitigation, driving assistance, visual environment monitoring and hands-free technology. PNT plays an important role in many of these systems. Positioning plays and will play a key role in the future. Main…

114 - Geodesy-enabled applications

Positioning and Navigation applications depend very heavily on the definition of a reference frame where the products are defined. In particular, GPS uses WGS-84 and Galileo the Galileo Terrestrial Reference Frame (GTRF), which are both "steered" to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF). The steering is performed by comparing suitable products and making the reference frames…

113 - Low profile thermal cell optical clock based on acetylene-filled hollow core fibre for future ground & space PNT

GNSSs now provide a ubiquitous dependency for modern technology, critical national infrastructure and business logistics, particularly in the realms of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT). There is a clearly identified need for alternative high-accuracy, resilient holdover clocks techniques to be available, whether ground or space-based, should problems arise with 24/7 delivery of GNSS…

112 - Development of a GNSS Receiver Size Weight & Power Model

In recent years, the design of GNSS receivers has become increasingly complex due to ongoing developments in signal structures and the growing variety of carrier frequencies, bandwidths, waveforms, chipping, and data rates. Based on these parameters and on the advancements in the different application domains, no effective, comprehensive tool currently exists to evaluate the best trade-off in…

111 - Managing GNSS Local Effects in the Railway Environment for Advanced Safe Train Positioning

The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a single European signalling and speed control system that ensures interoperability of the national railway systems throughout the single European railway area. ERTMS is comprised of the European Train Control System (ETCS, an in-cab signalling system that includes Automatic Train Protection – ATP) and a track to train radio communication…

110 - User Equipment Platform for Positioning with 5G/6G Non-Terrestrial Networks

The future 5G and 6G non-terrestrial networks (NTN) will offer continuous and ubiquitous coverage, serving predominantly terrestrial users in remote and underserved areas. The latest 3GPP releases imply that the user equipment (UE) must be equipped with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver determining its position, velocity, and time (PVT) to be able to connect to NTN. To…

109 - 5G Localisation for Safety of Life Applications in Rail

Safe Localisation of railway vehicles is necessary to allow train control systems to operate. Today this is done within the European Train Control System (ETCS) by using fixed location tags called Eurobalises and odometry sensors. While Eurobalises typically are safe, fairly accurate and robust, they impose high costs for installation and maintenance on the infrastructure operator and only…

108 - Assessment of Time Transfer Techniques for Resilient Regional (Transnational) UTC Infrastructure

Timing is a highly important use case of GNSS, as many sectors such as telecommunications, emergency services, transport and finance depend on precise time to operate correctly. Therefore, there is a need to provide Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) with accessible, resilient sources of precise reference time using time transfer techniques which are complementary to GNSS. The time reference…
