Complementary PNT Infrastructure in LEO
GNSS is the only global, free, comprehensive technology providing absolute PNT data to users worldwide.
Its limitations are known, including long life cycle and replenishment schedule, affecting their ability to adapt easily to short term market needs and to some extent, resilience. Considering the above, alternative PNT methods and solutions have been developed, innovative PNT systems are…

Multipath & Interference Error Mitigation Techniques for Future Maritime e-NAV Services
The study, characterisation, modelling and mitigation of multipath and interference in maritime environments for different operational scenarios are considered of paramount importance.
The objectives of this activity are to characterise the multipath and interference errors experienced by marine PNT receivers, in particular GNSS, and to derive suitable error models for maritime space-based PNT…

Pulsar Timescale Demonstration
The objective of this activity is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Pulsar Timescale for the generation and monitoring of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) time.
For the latter, the capabilities of the Galileo Processing Centre at ESA/ESTEC in terms of access to Galileo Experimental Sensor Stations and data processing capabilities will be…

Cooperative Navigation and Cloud Processing
The current evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, together with the proliferation in the last years of cloud platforms where storage and processing of data can, ideally, be handled on demand, has boosted the appearance of new applications and services in the positioning domain of potential interest for specific use cases. In particular, the processing in the cloud of GNSS…

Weather Monitoring Based on Collaborative Crowdsourcing
The measurement of Integrated Water Vapour using GNSS stations from a network of reference stations have been demonstrated.
During the last years, the existence of multi- constellation and multi-frequency GNSS increases the effectiveness and reliability of such measurements for weather prediction. Currently the availability of affordable powerful hand-held GNSS receivers with…

Space GNSS Receiver for In-Orbit Demonstration of PPP
The object of the activity is to design, develop and validate/verified a GNSS space receiver capable to perform on board precise orbit determination (P2OD) in real time using precise GNSS orbit and clock corrections provided either by Geostationary satellites or Galileo Commercial Service (thus allowing on board autonomy w.r.t to ground stations).
The concept is similar to what is performed on…

Low-Cost GNSS Antenna Arrays for Improved Performance, Anti-Spoofing, and Meaconing and Interference Mitigation
The activity primarily targets GNSS antennas for autonomous driving vehicles, which is a fast growing market.
It is foreseen that future vehicles will rely less and less on humans, and more and more on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), requiring reliable navigation based on several sensors (GNSS and others) in order to ensure security and safety inside and outside the vehicle in all…

Trusted Radionavigation via Two-Way Ranging
Wireless positioning systems based on passive ranging, as used in GNSS today, are very attractive and represent the most pragmatic and cost-beneficial solution for worldwide positioning in benign, secured environments; however, this may no longer be a one-size-fits-all solution for modern radionavigation usage as the need for complementary solutions offering adaptability, reliability and trust is…

GNSS/non-GNSS Sensor Fusion for Resilience in High Integrity Aviation Applications
GNSS technology has demonstrated its capability to provide very good performance in Europe up to LPV 200 based on GPS L1 (single frequency, single constellation) and is expected to reach CAT I Autoland with the future DFMC mode (Dual Frequency, Multi Constellations – GPS & GAL).
It is very challenging to improve this performance, more specifically the 6-second Time To Alert (TTA) that seems…
