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…Subcontractors

Start date: 16/07/2024Duration: 13 MonthsTechnology 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…Subcontractors

Xairos UK Limited, Inmarsat, and Heriot-Watt University will advance the development of satellite-based Quantum Time Transfer (QTT). This project will advance the development of QTT, a new secure optical two-way time transfer technology capable of highly secure picosecond level precision between ground-based clocks and clocks onboard satellites. QTT utilises individual photon pairs entangled in…Subcontractors

The new Dynamic Optical Ranging & Timing (DORT) system opens up new possibilities for time and frequency transmission, especially in the NewSpace range. Due to its compactness and robustness, the system can be easily implemented in a CubeSat. In this project, the application of a satellite time bridge will be considered in particular. This is an alternative to realise (inter-)continental clock…Prime contractor

The specific objective of this NAVISP project is the development of an SDR processor devoted to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) PNT applications. The LEO PNT system intends to provide services of accurate real-time positioning to complement the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). A satellite constellation of LEO-PNT offers better signal power, that results in higher positioning accuracy and…Prime contractor

The proposed project develops the concept of orbit and clock determination for a LEO PNT system that uses high-precision on-board GNSS receivers providing POD in real time, and a reduced infrastructure in the ground segment. It also analyses the user segment, characterising the performance of the LEO PNT in the precise PPP positioning, evaluating the improvements in availability and convergence…Subcontractors
