Start date: 30/11/2023Duration: 18 MonthsThe principal aim of this project is to explore the applicability of today optics and photonic technologies to GNSS receivers. It is not always straightforward to understand which part of an electronic system may be conveniently replaced by its “photonic” counterpart, with clear advantages in terms of performance, integration density, power consumption, weight, EM immunity and…Subcontractors

In the context of the renewed interest in lunar exploration, the need for preparing the future user instrument for the new positioning service on the Moon has become very important, in particular for supplementing the current navigation techniques based on inertial sensors and cameras. A significant R&D effort is ongoing towards the development of dedicated lunar infrastructures for enhanced Moon…Subcontractors

The world economic trade has continuously increased over the past decades. For the maritime business, this had led to larger and larger ships and denser traffic. Examples of famous waterways are the Suez Channel, the Kiel Channel, and the Malakka Strait near Singapore. The latter one is passed by 200 to 250 container ships daily that transport 25 % of the global maritime transportation…Prime contractor

Start date: 21/12/2022Duration: 18 MonthsGNSS such as GPS are vulnerable, largely due to the tiny signal strength and the geometry of satellites in urban environments. Drone regulatory frameworks are progressing to where autonomous flight and operations Beyond Visual Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) are a possibility, thus driving the need for reliable navigation services to complement or act as a back-up to existing ones (chiefly GNSS). Trusted…

The PNT Moon surface Beacon and Reference Station (referred to as Moon Station) is an important component of the future LCNS system. The LCNS system will initially foresee the deployment of dedicated lunar orbiting ranging satellites, whereas the Moon Stations, as part of the LCNS surface infrastructure, will be deployed at a subsequent stage. Nonetheless, it is deemed important to implement…Subcontractors

Start date: 13/12/2022Duration: 12 MonthsMoon exploration is emerging as the next global strategic priority in space exploration. Several dozens of commercial and institutional missions to the Moon are planned for the coming decades, with a major contribution also expected from ESA (e.g. Orion service module, ESA participation in Gateway lunar station and contribution to multiple lunar robotic missions). In spite of the wide variety of…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/07/2022Duration: 18 MonthsThe main objective of the AALTO (Advanced ALgorithms and techniques for resilient Time prOvision) project is to combine different time sources with advanced algorithms, in particular Kalman filtering (in phase and frequency) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques, in order to provide the required level of time accuracy, stability, availability and integrity to timing users. Two hardware and… -
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…Subcontractors
