Start date: 22/06/2022Duration: 18 MonthsThe main goal of this activity is to design, develop, implement, and validate a system capable of generating accurate and stable timing information with high level of integrity and availability. To achieve this objective, the system will combine the input timing information provided by several timing sources, each generally with different characteristics. The system shall be able to detect…Subcontractors

Optical solid Corner Cube Retro-reflectors (CCR) are often implemented to allow laser tracking of satellites from ground. In order to achieve a measureable return signal, such corner cubes are typically rather large and, as conventional corner cubes are made of glass, also high in mass. A hollow CCR, made of three orthogonal flat mirror surfaces, offers theoretically superior performance and a…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/12/2021Duration: 12 MonthsThe objective of this project is to demonstrate that crowd-sensed GNSS signals can be effectively used as the sole (or main) data source for an integrity service. Integrity will be provided by allowing the user to assess his guaranteed positioning performance. This is achieved by providing statistical bounds to the residual error components (after applying potential corrections and removing…Prime contractor

The demand for accurate, reliable and secure Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) solution, from a number of different applications include the National Critical Infrastructures (CNI), is increasing. GNSS is a key technology for high-performance PNT, due to its high levels of accuracy, global coverage and its lack of service cost. On the other hand, the spoofing of GNSS is an evolving threat,…Prime contractor

Start date: 16/04/2021Duration: 18 MonthsThe Hybrid Overlay Positioning with 5G and GNSS (HOP-5G) project targets the demonstration of a 5G local overlay testbed for enhanced user positioning, in combination with GNSS and sensor technologies. Within this project, the HOP-5G consortium focuses on the exploitation of 5G innovative positioning enablers and their hybridisation with GNSS and sensors. This is based on the dedicated deployment…Prime contractor

Start date: 07/04/2021Duration: 17 MonthsCurrent GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon). The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…Subcontractors

Start date: 20/03/2021Duration: 18 MonthsThe PLATONIC project is to develop cooperative positioning and integrity concepts and algorithms for vehicle platooning. The innovative positioning and integrity concept and algorithms for the vehicle platooning would be based on GNSS (e.g. PPP or moving based RTK), V2X communication, IMU/odometer and V2V relative ranges. In order to demonstrate the developed concepts and to gather…Subcontractors

A great number of civilian and military applications relies on GNSS for PNT, however its availability could be put at risk by threats such as local interference, amongst others. GNSS spectrum monitoring is essential for: detecting, characterising and localising interference sources, which could endanger the adequate reception and processing of GNSS signals; initiating a justified…Prime contractor

GNSS signals are widely used for time synchronization purposes in many different application sectors, including telecom, finance and energy. Telecom service providers, in particular, consider GNSS-based synchronization well adapted to macro-cells whereas alternative synchronization technologies (e.g. wire-based solutions like Precise Time Protocol) are deemed more suitable for indoor small cells,… -
Start date: 27/02/2020Duration: 15 MonthsGPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that…Subcontractors
