Start date: 21/02/2018Current IMO work on guidelines for shipborne PNT data processing will define a high level framework for the processing and combination of data of multiple systems and sensors in a maritime PNT receiver. The definition of IMO guidelines are expected to significantly progress in the course of 2017. Therefore, it is considered of paramount importance to complement this work with further studies on…Subcontractors

Start date: 23/06/2020MARGOT is a project implemented by a consortium led by RISE and including the Romanian Space Agency, GMV Romania and GEOECOMAR from Romania and Joanneum Research from Austria. MARGOT aims to assess the multipath and interference impact on PNT information in maritime environments for different operational scenarios. It includes the study and characterisation of multipath and interference in a…Prime contractor

Start date: 23/01/2018The Galileo System Time (GST) timescale is the cornerstone for the operations and performance of the Galileo System. It should be stable, traceable and always available. The current system time is provided via a physical on-ground clock which limits the performance. A time scale built with pulsar measurements, i.e. measurements from celestial objects emitting radiation in pulses, would typically…Subcontractors

Start date: 01/03/2020Compact (few cc volume) and low power consumption (< 200 mW) atomic clocks (also known as Chip-Scale Atomic Clocks, CSAC) have become commercially available in the last decade and have demonstrated their benefits for a wide range of applications, such as PNT in adverse environment (long coherent integration), secure telecommunication or for timing hold-over in case of loss of GNSS or other network…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/06/2020Critical applications such as autonomous vehicles and machine control require high fidelity raw measurements in challenging environments. In spite of significant progress made in recent years, for those applications GNSS performance remains unsatisfactory in terms of reliability in challenging environments, therefore requiring improvement. The main challenges lie in handling transfer functions…Prime contractor

Start date: 01/01/2021Intentional and unintentional interference are recognized as major threats to users of GNSS-based positioning. Existing detection and mitigation methods lack the adjustability to deal with the ever- increasing complexity in GNSS interference attacks. Our ANTIFERENCE system will employ artificial intelligence to detect both known and never-before-observed interferences. It operates the way…Subcontractors

Start date: 04/01/2021The fast evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), commercial Cloud platforms, and the future 5G standards are boosting development of new applications and technologies in the PNT field. Devices are expected to be increasingly connected to Internet in the next few years, storage and processing of data in the Cloud is already a reality, with 5G expected to bring very soon higher data rates and… -
Start date: 05/11/2020Satellite Search and Rescue (SAR) standards are set and overseen by COSPASSARSAT. SAR instruments are currently flying on board MEO satellites in several GNSS constellations. These platforms complement the existing LEOSAR and GEOSAR satellites. Existing LEO/GEOSAR are slow in detecting an active beacon due to several limitations in design (limited satellites, fast orbits, no independent location…Subcontractors

Start date: 23/11/2020GNSS simulations are an important toolset supporting system engineering trade-offs and decisions. They are used to display and monitor key system performance indicators as well as study system behaviour, both through synthetic scenarios and real data replay. Industry and ESA currently use different tools to simulate GNSS systems, however often constrained to undertake only one of two different…Subcontractors

Start date: 21/03/2021Quantum metrology techniques show great potential to enhance both precision and security of existing PNT techniques. It has been shown that, by probing physical quantities using quantum states of light and/or matter, one can achieve a precision beyond the theoretical limit set by classical mechanics. This effect has been demonstrated in a variety of contexts and is particularly useful in optical…
