Start date: 13/09/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThe EPIC aims to address to develop algorithms and a SW simulator for combined usage of GNSS, LEO-PNT and 5G terrestrial transmitters to achieve high precision PPP-IAR solutions even in urban environments. The drivers for this activity are: ▪ Usage of alternative-PNT (LEO-PNT, 5G) means, in case GNSS is partially or fully not available ▪ Usage of additional-PNT (LEO-PNT, 5G) means…

Start date: 11/09/2024Duration: 12 MonthsReliable Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) of carrier-phase measurements is critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) high accuracy positioning. State-of-the-art IAR strategies employ well-established processes (float estimation, decorrelation and searching) which, however, cannot deem efficient for real-time kinematic applications. Analytically, by virtue of weak models, biases…

Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) concerns the successful resolution of unknown integer ambiguities present in carrier-phase measurements, which exhibit millimeter-level precision. In the context of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise positioning and navigation, the IAR process is fundamental, as once ambiguities are correctly resolved, the phase data acts as ultra-precise…

Start date: 12/07/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThe main technical objective of the activity is the design of a prototype receiving antenna in Ka-Band for satellite navigation. To reach this objective, suitable antenna design solutions will be identified that may fit to small satellite platforms (eg nU Cubesats), by either being small in dimensions of deployable. The proposed design concepts must meet the requirements for navigation functions…

Start date: 30/06/2024Duration: 12 MonthsThis project aims to address the increasing drone safety risks by developing redundant sensing with an integrated multi-sensor system to ensure drone Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in various conditions. As GNSS becomes more vulnerable, there is a need for more resistant and robust drone PNT, which would maintain the accuracy even in the absence of GNSS. We will develop a…
