Optical clocks are at the core of alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (alt-PNT) solutions that do not depend on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). When fully realised, alt-PNT will increase the resilience of Critical National Infrastructures (such as the UK National Timing Centre) and provide many sectors of the economy with increased commercial returns. OPTiK aims to…

Maritime shipping has embraced GNSS to improve safety and efficiency, but the availability and reliability of such systems have in recent years declined. The Maritime Alternative PNT Solution (MAPS) activity aims to demonstrate an Alternative PNT (APNT) solution based on the maritime VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) and the maritime Medium Frequency R-Mode service. The ambition in phase 1 of…

The objective of this project is to develop a fully independent, commercially viable SBAS ground reference station receiver prototype, demonstrated in an operational environment (TRL7). The receiver is designed to deliver accurate reference code and phase measurements, as well as Signal Quality Monitoring (SQM) information, to support SBAS corrections and safety processors.

The goal of this project is to expand an existing product to meet LEO PNT needs. The starting point of the project is SKYDEL, a fully featured, software-defined GNSS simulator. The evolutions are set in 3 Work Packages : WP 1 - Enhanced atmospheric propagation model for LEO PNT WP 2 - Develop new LEO PNT signals WP 3 - Conduct a literature survey on multipath

The GNSS-SUT project is targeting the snapshot technology market. Current tracking applications are usually done by conventional real-time GNSS receivers where the processing chain is done on board of the device. This comes with high power cost due to the computational effort required. In a snapshot-based approach, the computational processing (highpower demanding) load is done on a remote server…

New applications and demand for increased performance of PNT technologies, independent from GNSS and less vulnerable, for serving next generation terrestrial and space applications (including Moving beyond Earth) are driving the PNT market. That requires new test technologies able to perform modulated signal generation and analysis on multiple RF/microwave channels with a tight phase and…

The NaviSoC is an all-band, all-constellation GNSS receiver integrated with an application processor on a single silicon die. The NaviSoC system on a chip delivers high precision, high reliability and security, with low power consumption, in a small size. All of these unique features open up a number of possibilities for mitigating both jamming and spoofing. During the project, several activities…
