Overview This project aims to advance the field of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) by integrating Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite signals with existing Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies. The primary focus is on improving positioning and navigation capabilities, particularly within the professional high-end GNSS market, such as precision agriculture. Objectives:…Subcontractors

4D imaging automotive radars are high-resolution, long-range sensors that can scan both horizontally and vertically, identifying the distance, direction, and relative velocity of detected objects. With higher resolution than earlier radar sensors, 4D radars can detect many different reflection points from the same object, which by mapping them out, begins to resemble an image. As they become more… -
We propose to develop a ground based, industrial and compact laser cooled cesium clock with unprecedented long-term frequency stability and accuracy (timing hold over goal = 100 ns over 1 year). This product will provide reliable and performing back up frequency and timing signals in case of very long PNT signal disruption (environment perturbations, jamming, spoofing ...) and guarantee…Prime contractor

The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) is currently working on the next iteration of Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) enabling CAT II/III approaches, GBAS Approach Service Type (GAST) E, supporting Dual Frequency Multi-Constellation (DFMC) GBAS. This concept will make GBAS more resilient to ionospheric activity and radio frequency interference (RFI), improve overall… -
Start date: 02/03/2026Duration: 18 MonthsSPARTA is an innovative project that aims to develop a next-generation solution for resilient UAV navigation, addressing the critical challenges of GNSS vulnerability to spoofing, jamming and operation in GNSS-degraded or denied environments. The UAV market is rapidly expanding in sectors such as logistics, infrastructure inspection, precision agriculture, public safety and defence. As operations…Subcontractors

Start date: 18/02/2026Duration: 15 MonthsUPDATE phase 2 will develop an MVP of a UK National PNT Digital Twin. The digital twin will provide “quasi-realistic model” of PNT services services across the UK (including GNSS, ELORAN and the NTC), informed by service status data, that looks, operates and behaves comparably to actual PNT services throughout the UK. The outcome of the project will be an open and modular PNT DT architecture to…Subcontractors

The GOACE (Ground Optical Atomic Clock for Evaluation) project aims to deliver an optical atomic clock for evaluation by the European Space Agency. Developed by Rolex Quantum and CSEM, the clock employs an optical transition in Rubidium to achieve outstanding long‐term frequency stability with competitive SWaP, and low‐maintenance. The clock will undergo a full year of continuous testing at ESTEC…Subcontractors

Start date: 16/02/2026Duration: 26 MonthsThe proposed project named Multi-Frequency Alternative Position, Navigation and Timing (MF-APNT), will analyse, design, construct, demonstrate, measure and evaluate a new approach for distributing Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) signals. The system concept is based on adding spread spectrum signals onto broadcasting and communication channels, hopping between frequency bands, and by doing so… -
Start date: 16/02/2026Duration: 24 MonthsPNT satellite systems (i.e. GNSS) have become an integral part of contemporary society and economy. However, increasing reliance on continuous PNT availability raises concerns related to service disruptions, hardware failures, intentional jamming or spoofing, and operations in GNSS-denied environments. The Muometric Positioning System (MuPS) uses galactic cosmic rays to enable positioning where…Prime contractor
