Start date: 01/12/2025Duration: 18 MonthsBEACON aims to develop, implement, and demonstrate a Multi-array antenna receiver for navigation in C-band from LEO satellites developed under ESA’s FutureNAV LEO-PNT IoD. The development is to be based on a compact and relatively low-cost multi-array antenna with innovative advanced signal processing that exploits both pre- and post-correlation stages. Beamforming will be applied to…Subcontractors

Saphyrion is finalizing the remaining development steps required to bring into production its rad-hard GNSS IC chipset, consisting of the SY1009 GNSS RF front-end and the companion SY1019 ADC device. This project focuses on the subsequent activities needed to develop an end-to-end Evaluation Kit (EVK), designated SY1029-EVK, which will support both performance assessment and commercial… -
Start date: 24/11/2025Duration: 26 MonthsBLACKOUT represents the implementation of a Black Sea Test Range to test and evaluate different PNT solutions in GNSS signal degradation and denial. BLACKOUT will comprise a dedicated testing area with the necessary logistics to test different PNT technologies, including access to vessels or other platforms to deploy terminals for PNT testing. Nevertheless, ground truthing and GNSS RFI…Prime contractor

Start date: 20/11/2025Duration: 24 MonthsGNSS technologies typically suffer significant accuracy issues in urban environments due to signal degradation caused by obstacles like buildings which block and reflects GNSS signals leading to big positioning errors. The most dangerous impairments are due to specularly reflected Non-Line-Of-Sight (srNLOS) signals. Such errors can be attenuated through the application of the Intelligent Urban… -
Start date: 07/11/2025Duration: 12 MonthsThe I-PoCARS project (Integrated PoC for real-time Automotive useR case with Step) addresses the creation of an enhanced localisation system solution through 5G connectivity and GNSS enhancement as a first step towards a path planning safety solution for autonomous vehicles. The work intends to create a preliminary design for an integrated industry-led framework, linking space,…Subcontractors

Start date: 29/10/2025Duration: 18 MonthsThe main objective of this ITT is the study, design, implementation and demonstration of technologies, techniques and solutions to handle the presence of GNSS local effects (multipath, NLOS, jamming, spoofing) within the context of an EGNOS supported multi-sensor localization unit for railway users. This project aims at filling this gap by considering the following specific objectives: 1.…Prime contractor

Quantum sensing using Rydberg atoms offers a potential route to wide bandwidth, small, all optical reception of electromagnetic signals. The sensor is based on optical pumping of alkali metal vapour to a level which is resonant with incoming EM radiation; this impacts the optical transmittance of the vapour allowing optical readout of modulated signals. This work will assess the potential to… -
Start date: 06/10/2025Duration: 24 MonthsThe increasing reliance on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) like EGNOS for aviation navigation has highlighted the critical need for robust performance monitoring and interference mitigation. While EGNOS V2 has significantly improved GNSS accuracy and integrity in European aviation, its evolution to EGNOS V3 will bring dual-frequency,…Subcontractors

Start date: 06/10/2025Duration: 17 MonthsThe project will develop a distributed edge–core system enabling fleets of mobile PNT agents (e.g., drones, rovers and handheld units) to detect objects in imagery, estimate their absolute positions by fusing agent PNT with multi-view geometry (SfM/Visual SLAM), and visualise results on a central map for operators. The system leverages ML-based feature detection, centralized coordination, and…
