Following publication of the UK's first PNT Policy Framework to ensure resilience in its PNT infrastructure, NLAI will provide strategic support to the UKSA and the National PNT Office by updating key policy input sources to the SOTA (State-Of-The-Art) assessment, used to support business cases, decisions, planning, and preparedness actions. SPARK will undertake a review of the current PNT…

The INSPIRE project aims to design, develop, and validate a novel GNSS-based positioning architecture tailored for challenging environments such as urban canyons and deep-urban areas. The project leverages meta-signal processing, peer-to-peer ranging, and hybrid positioning to improve accuracy, robustness, and availability of GNSS-based solutions in scenarios where traditional positioning systems…

ODYSSEY (Orbits-as-a-Service for Satellite Signals of Opportunity) is funded through Element 2 of the ESA NAVISP programme and is being carried out by GMV-UK. It will develop a precise orbit determination centre for communications satellite constellations. This will be used to provide a new commercial service generating precise orbits for different satellite constellations whose signals can be…

Due to the proliferation of jamming sources, localizing the source of RFI is becoming a priority. For GNSS users, especially the ones concerned with safety applications and critical infrastructures, but not limited to, it is imperative to be situationally aware of local GNSS interference.  The GINKO-S Phase 2 product encompasses the minimum system configuration necessary to verify the…

The main purpose of this activity is to evaluate – through simulations and modelling – how the use of quantum sensors can benefit PNT systems. To meet this overall purpose, the following study objectives can be derived:  Design and develop sensor models that can provide representative measurements for quantum sensors,  Integrate those sensor models within a simulation environment…

The VAIPOSA project aims to develop innovative methodologies for designing and implementing Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) components using AI and machine learning (ML), while ensuring safety, robustness, and resilience. It employs a realistic road environment simulator where an autonomous agent with an AI-based PNT system must adapt to changing conditions. The project enhances…

Reliable Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) of carrier-phase measurements is critical for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) high accuracy positioning.  State-of-the-art IAR strategies employ well-established processes (float estimation, decorrelation and searching) which, however, cannot deem efficient for real-time kinematic applications. Analytically, by virtue of weak models, biases…
