The GOACE (Ground Optical Atomic Clock for Evaluation) project aims to deliver an optical atomic clock for evaluation by the European Space Agency. Developed by Rolex Quantum and CSEM, the clock employs an optical transition in Rubidium to achieve outstanding long‐term frequency stability with competitive SWaP, and low‐maintenance. The clock will undergo a full year of continuous testing at…

The proposed project named Multi-Frequency Alternative Position, Navigation and Timing (MF-APNT), will analyse, design, construct, demonstrate, measure and evaluate a new approach for distributing Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) signals. The system concept is based on adding spread spectrum signals onto broadcasting and communication channels, hopping between frequency bands, and by doing so…

The project will pave the way for a next-generation, high-performance GNSS receiver chipset with native support for LEO-PNT signals. By combining the resilience of emerging LEO constellations with the maturity of established MEO systems, the chipset will deliver superior accuracy, robustness, reliability, and availability across automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. The phased development…

We propose to develop a ground based, industrial and compact laser cooled cesium clock  with unprecedented long-term frequency stability and accuracy (timing hold over goal =  100 ns over 1 year). This product will provide reliable and performing back up frequency   and timing signals in case of very long PNT signal disruption (environment perturbations,  jamming, spoofing ...) and…

The activity develops and validates an AI-enhanced GNSS integrity monitoring layer for  safety-critical positioning applications. The solution combines high-accuracy GNSS  correction services, RTK positioning, protection-level estimation and machine-learning based anomaly detection to assess whether a position solution can be trusted in real time.  By monitoring correction quality, receiver…

Satellite navigation systems constitute a strategic asset for every nation. They are used for personal navigation, commercial aviation, military operations, crop and wildlife monitoring, and much more. Furthermore, the same systems provide the universally used reference signal for synchronization of remote systems. However, the GNSS systems currently in use, while offering high accuracy and global…

As GNSS threats such as jamming and spoofing increase, impacting critical missions and infrastructures, the demand for real-time GNSS service monitoring grows. CrowdShield GNSS meets this need by delivering real-time monitoring and alerts for GNSS degradations at global, regional, and local scales. The solution innovatively hybridizes data from existing GNSS receivers, and ADS-B streams,…
