MEDEA is an EGNSS/INMARSAT Rx multiband digital array antenna that covers the two bandwidths from 1150 up to 1290 MHz and from 1539 to 1610 MHz. MEDEA can be considered a sort of “applique equipment” for any standard GNSS receivers because of, in addition to gather RF signal from the outside space, it embeds a few features to improve the integrity of the receiver operations to which it is…

ODYSSEY (Orbits-as-a-Service for Satellite Signals of Opportunity) is funded through Element 2 of the ESA NAVISP programme and is being carried out by GMV-UK. It will develop a precise orbit determination centre for communications satellite constellations. This will be used to provide a new commercial service generating precise orbits for different satellite constellations whose signals can be…

Due 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…

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…

This 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…

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…

Technology 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…
