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…

In the context of the intensified jamming and spoofing activities, mitigation measures need to be employed to protect civilian users from the negative effects of interference. In line with the efforts of providing better solutions for resistance to interference, the ECHO-NN project proposes the enhancement of classical interference detection and localization algorithms with artificial…

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…

  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…

This project outlines a strategic plan of activities to elevate the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of Precise Positioning and timing receiver for LEO applications (NAVTIME-RX) from TRL 5 to TRL 7. The project is based on SEXTANS receiver heritage and aims to accelerate the development and maturation of the GNSS receiver technology, positioning it closer to commercial readiness through the…

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…

The objective of this activity is to develop a toolkit to support engineering activities for LEO PNT systems. The goal is to accelerate the design, development and planning of such systems, not only from a signal simulation capability based on COTS, but also making available fast-prototyping tools to check for receiver performance, focusing on signal processing aspects.

The goal of this proposal is to develop a novel product named SeCure AutheNtication Server (SCANS) that would provide the CAS encrypted snippets for the corresponding period and encryption/decryption functions in a centralized secure server. This approach would permit to simplify the CAS user terminals thus facilitating the adoption of the CAS service. Main functionalities will be: Galileo…
