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: 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

Start date: 20/10/2025Duration: 18 MonthsThe EL1-106 MAGIC aims to address the development of a TRL 6 antenna array navigation receiver prototype, enabling PNT solutions in the C-band frequency, using the coming LEO- PNT IoD C-band signals. The main objectives for this activity are: Develop a receiver with C-band signal processing capability (up to high signal-bandwidth) Extend the receiver processing to support ESA LEO-PNT…Subcontractors

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… -
The work proposed focuses on developing AI-based anomaly detection software to detect anomalous signals from quantum sensors used within PNT applications. Infleqtion have been developing a novel approach to AI called “Contextual Machine Learning” which is inspired by quantum contextuality and has been shown to perform particularly well in settings where context can improve the AI model’s…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/09/2025Duration: 12 MonthsESA's NAVISP-EL1-077 project aims to develop a prototype Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) system, focusing on secure positioning through GNSS and 5G encrypted signals. The initiative includes creating two emulators: a User Terminal Emulator (UTE) and a Service Provider Emulator (SPE). Qascom and the consortium have two main objectives: developing a testbed and a prototype User Terminal.…Subcontractors

Start date: 04/09/2025Duration: 18 MonthsThis activity will demonstrate a fiber-optic technique for high-precision time and frequency transfer as a robust complement to GNSS, enabling UTC distribution across geographically separated and even transnational sites. Building on Cycle’s long-standing expertise in stabilized RF transfer over short-range fiber-optic links, the work will advance this capability to long-haul distances exceeding… -
This activity delivers a proof of concept towards the development of a Position, Navigation, and Timing capability that benefits from the unique simultaneous multilink capability of the ALL.SPACE SATCOM terminal. The terminal will analyse signals of opportunity from available Ka-band satellites in GEO, MEO and (potentially) LEO orbits to estimate its position and orientation in a GNSS-denied…Subcontractors
