Start date: 01/10/2024Duration: 36 MonthsDue to the proliferation of jamming sources, localizing the source of RFI is becoming a priority. For GNSS users, especially the ones concerned with safety applications and critical infrastructures, but not limited to, it is imperative to be situationally aware of local GNSS interference. The GINKO-S Phase 2 product encompasses the minimum system configuration necessary to verify the…Subcontractors

The GNSS-R Technology for Water Leaks Detection project aims to engineer an instrument, which can be installed in any vehicle, capable of pre-localizing water losses using the technique of scatterometry. This technique involves driving a vehicle over the water pipe, identifying the sections with different moisture content than the average measurements. In this way, operators can avoid the… -
Start date: 01/09/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThis project aims to develop a novel white-box GNSS receiver with a unique capability: achieving faster-than-real-time operation. This innovation will significantly accelerate development and testing cycles. The project will leverage the high-throughput capabilities of an AMD/Xilinx Versal board to realize this functionality. Furthermore, the project will culminate in the creation of a…Prime contractor

The management of rail logistics heavily relies on digital tools, where transport management systems (TMS) are pivotal. Despite the widespread use of TMS in road and ocean freight, rail freight lags by two decades. Addressing this discrepancy, Rail-Flow introduces a Rail TMS that integrates diverse data sources, including the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and collaborates with kasasi…Subcontractors

Start date: 18/07/2024Duration: 12 Months4D imaging automotive radars are high-resolution, long-range sensors that can scan in both the horizontal and vertical planes, while identifying the distance, direction and relative velocity of detected objects. They are an increasingly important tool in the fight to reduce road deaths. With higher resolution than earlier radar sensors, 4D radars can detect many different reflection points from… -
Start date: 16/07/2024Duration: 13 MonthsTechnology re-fresh of an existing 4-channel RDF receiver to add beamforming and null steering to mitigate the effects of increasing manmade background noise and interference. Remote access will be provided for firmware update and for remote monitoring, and for multi-receiver triangulation. The engineering needs to be designed to accommodate antenna compromises including high local interference…Subcontractors

Xairos UK Limited, Inmarsat, and Heriot-Watt University will advance the development of satellite-based Quantum Time Transfer (QTT). This project will advance the development of QTT, a new secure optical two-way time transfer technology capable of highly secure picosecond level precision between ground-based clocks and clocks onboard satellites. QTT utilises individual photon pairs entangled in…Subcontractors

The new Dynamic Optical Ranging & Timing (DORT) system opens up new possibilities for time and frequency transmission, especially in the NewSpace range. Due to its compactness and robustness, the system can be easily implemented in a CubeSat. In this project, the application of a satellite time bridge will be considered in particular. This is an alternative to realise (inter-)continental clock…Prime contractor
