Start date: 21/12/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGNSS such as GPS are vulnerable, largely due to the tiny signal strength and the geometry of satellites in urban environments. Drone regulatory frameworks are progressing to where autonomous flight and operations Beyond Visual Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) are a possibility, thus driving the need for reliable navigation services to complement or act as a back-up to existing ones (chiefly GNSS). Trusted…

The PNT Moon surface Beacon and Reference Station (referred to as Moon Station) is an important component of the future LCNS system. The LCNS system will initially foresee the deployment of dedicated lunar orbiting ranging satellites, whereas the Moon Stations, as part of the LCNS surface infrastructure, will be deployed at a subsequent stage. Nonetheless, it is deemed important to implement…Subcontractors

Start date: 13/12/2022Duration: 12 MonthsMoon exploration is emerging as the next global strategic priority in space exploration. Several dozens of commercial and institutional missions to the Moon are planned for the coming decades, with a major contribution also expected from ESA (e.g. Orion service module, ESA participation in Gateway lunar station and contribution to multiple lunar robotic missions). In spite of the wide variety of…Prime contractor

In conventional Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) receivers, tracking is performed in several independent tracking loops that provide measurements (pseudo ranges, pseudo range rates, carrier Doppler) to a navigation algorithm (Kalman filter), controlling the Position, Velocity, Time (PVT) solution. In Vector Tracking Loop (VTL) , the two tasks of signal tracking and PVT estimations are…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/09/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGlobal Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become the primary marine aid-to-navigation and source of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information. Yet, all GNSS are vulnerable to natural interference, deliberate and accidental jamming and spoofing. Trials have demonstrated that degraded GNSS produce hazardously misleading information and erroneous vessel positions without an alarm being…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/07/2022Duration: 18 MonthsThe main objective of the AALTO (Advanced ALgorithms and techniques for resilient Time prOvision) project is to combine different time sources with advanced algorithms, in particular Kalman filtering (in phase and frequency) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, in order to provide the required level of time accuracy, stability, availability and integrity to timing users. Two hardware and…
