First time development of an on-board autonomous digital beamforming of multiple beams for small/compact new space payloads, with medium/large number of channels supported. The innovation also relies on the number of channels, dynamic beamforming, low power. The activity will review the digital beamforming requirements for GNSS-R and Radio Occultation payloads, define a digital processor…

In the last years there has been a growing interest in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations to provide telecommunication and navigation PNT services, both from commercial and governmental entities. ESA’s LEO PNT constellation proposes an augmented-PNT service compared to the classical MEO or GEO satellites in current GNSS systems. In this context, GMV proposes the development of an Engineering…

The scope of the project is the design  of an IC integrated circuit (single die) that implements the front-end receiver section of GNSS multi-band signal receiver space-born platforms. The frontend receiver includes all the circuits from the antenna to the ADC output and provides the digitalised output to the GNSS units base-band processors or SW receivers. The target applications are all GNSS…

The objective of ACTOR (AuthentiCation Techniques for Optical time-transfeR) is to design, develop, manufacture and validate an authentication method for high-accuracy time transfer techniques over optical fibre, without a major loss of accuracy. The system is composed of a master and a slave demonstrator unit, each including software (SW)/protocol allowing authentication and integrity protection…

Currently, most of the launchers rely on inertial navigation, which introduces fundamental limitations both at performance and economical levels. In this scenario, hybrid solutions making use of GNSS capabilities emerge as an interesting alternative. One of the most mature initiatives within Europe, promoted by ESA and AVIO, consists of the development of a hybrid navigation unit for the future…

The principal aim of this project is to explore the applicability of today optics and photonic technologies to GNSS receivers. It is not always straightforward to understand which part of an electronic system may be conveniently replaced by its “photonic” counterpart, with clear advantages in terms of performance, integration density, power consumption, weight, EM immunity and…

The objective of this proposal is to conceive, design and validate a breadboard solution capable of detecting and localizing spoofing. This part is achieved by a monitoring node referred to as SILENT node, which is a disruptive solution that does not exist in current commercial solutions, and that has only been presented in academic papers. An additional SW tool will be developed in the frame of…

Following the Dutch studies on GNSS vulnerabilities IKUS-I and IKUS-II, it was found that GNSS knowledge within organizations from the Dutch Critical Infrastructure sectors requires to be deepened and distributed. To protect Critical Infrastructure during their operations, there is a clear need to be aware of what GNSS is, what the dependencies including the risks are for an organisation and how…

This objective of the ARLI project is to develop an autonomous Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) that can supply municipalities with a digital twin of the city. The digital twin is to be continuously updated and will serve as a tool for detection and planning of several service- and maintenance related task. In the project, a UGV will be integrated with a LiDAR sensor, that makes accurate 3D…
