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

Start date: 09/10/2025Duration: 23 MonthsThe objective of the activity is to investigate new concepts for ultra-accurate formation flying systems and initiate the develop a proof-of-concept software simulator on selected critical technologies. The activity will study and design concepts starting from the state-of-the-art satellite formation flying and considering cross-fertilization with technologies currently in use or under… -
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… -
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: 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… -

Various 5G terrestrial positioning techniques have been studied and demonstrated by the 3GPP, so positioning accuracy and availability with 5G terrestrial networks is a well- established concept and several positioning methods are defined in 3GPP; however, position integrity with 5G private networks seams largely un-investigated. If 5G is to be used for reliable positioning, then further…Prime contractor
