The TruGENa project, Game Engine for Navigation, focuses on developing an intelligent and reliable localization and navigation system for various mobile robots, using the Unity 3D game engine. It replaces a limited third-party LiDAR-SLAM stack with a flexible, in-house solution that merges multiple localization technologies such as GNSS, Lidar and 5G into a real-time digital twin. This approach…

The NAVISP Geodesy-Enabled Applications project builds on the advancements expected from the ESA Genesis mission, which enhances geodetic reference frame accuracy and interoperability. The project’s tasks include analysing trends, engaging stakeholders, and identifying key innovations to drive the adoption of high-accuracy positioning services. By improving Precise Orbit Determination (POD) and…

Optical clocks are at the core of alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (alt-PNT) solutions that do not depend on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). When fully realised, alt-PNT will increase the resilience of Critical National Infrastructures (such as the UK National Timing Centre) and provide many sectors of the economy with increased commercial returns. OPTiK aims to…

The core objective of the project PEGASO (PErformance of GNSS Auth Schemes by IndicatOrs) is to develop and validate a standardized methodology for evaluating GNSS anti-spoofing mechanisms and receiver implementations. This involves the realization of an end-to-end testbed that contains real and SDR receivers and a versatile simulation engine capable of generating navigations signals in realistic…

Maritime shipping has embraced GNSS to improve safety and efficiency, but the availability and reliability of such systems have in recent years declined. The Maritime Alternative PNT Solution (MAPS) activity aims to demonstrate an Alternative PNT (APNT) solution based on the maritime VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) and the maritime Medium Frequency R-Mode service. The ambition in phase 1 of…

DroneHome refers to the adaptation and integration of a ground-based location system from Omnisense Ltd (UK) that is being adapted to provide pseudoranges in real-time into a high performance drone navigation solution (from Kiteswarms Ltd). The resulting product will be a disruptive combination of relatively low-cost COTS sensors and software that will meet the requirements of availability,…

Building upon the results of the OpSTAR Phase 0 study carried out under NAVISP-EL2-139 by OHB Systems AG, the OpSTAR In-Orbit Demonstrator (IoD) Phase A/B1 will consolidate the OpSTAR IoD mission scope. It will notably refine the mission objectives  as well as perform the System Preliminary Design Review (Step 1) of the overall OpSTAR IOD, preparing the foundations of the IOD Phase B2/C/D/E to…
