Start date: 15/10/2018High-Altitude Pseudo-Satellites (HAPS) are airships “quasi-”stationed at a height of 20-30 km, in an altitude range where atmospheric winds are milder. HAPS are normally solar powered, unmanned, large, helium filled and semi-rigid; they can be operational for several years. HAPS have been studied in the telecom domain (ESA GSP HAPPIEST study), where they were briefly considered as: An…Subcontractors

Start date: 05/11/2018The objective of the activity is to study GNSS carrier phase integrity techniques for application in railway safety of life applications, and in particular, the evolution of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) with virtual balise detection using GNSS. Carrier phase positioning can achieve a significantly better performance than code-based positioning; however, to date there are no…Subcontractors

Start date: 09/11/2018GEONAV is a THALES innovative IoT solution, allowing real-time Indoor/Outdoor precise (<1m) tracking at PNT and User Ground Segments level and available worldwide. GEONAV positioning algorithms take advantage of two existing positioning technologies that have already proven themselves: E-GNSS (European Global Navigation Satellite System) and Ultra-Wide Band (UWB). In order to expand GEONAV…Subcontractors

Start date: 29/10/2020High Accuracy Assistance Service (HAAS) is a high-precision, cloud-based corrections service. It contains highly accurate corrections for orbits, clocks, ionospheric and tropospheric delays. These corrections are delivered over terrestrial means via the same high availability infrastructure already supporting over a billion devices each day. The use of HAAS will enable horizontal position accuracy… -
Start date: 07/01/2019Autonomous driving is seen by many as a coming technology disruption that will have profound impacts on industry, society and the economy. One of the great hopes of autonomous driving proponents is the realisation of huge safety improvements. According to the World Health Organization, road accidents account for 3,400 deaths every day around the world. This is more deaths than those caused, for…Subcontractors

Start date: 10/01/2019Maritime transport is currently facing new challenges such as significant increases in transport volumes, more stringent environmental requirements and a shortage of seafarers in the future. One of the many new concepts having the potential to overcome these challenges is autonomous ship navigation. In particular, the concept is expected to allow for more efficient and competitive ship operations…Prime contractor

Start date: 14/01/2019There exist a number of applications requiring reliable and accurate navigation services in environments difficult to access where available commercial products struggle to satisfy the variety of user demands. Such applications include very deep indoor applications, for which navigation accuracy and timely operations are critical to users, as for example in emergencies or underwater/urban-canyon…Subcontractors

Start date: 04/02/2019The exploitation of quantum physics has already enabled revolutionary technical applications and industries of enormous economic scale. The semiconductor industry alone is currently a €500 billion market, giving rise to industries on an even larger scale (smartphones, computing, software, etc.). Quantum physics is now again set to radically change several industries, including communications,… -
