The GNSS-R Technology for Water Leaks Detection project aims to engineer an instrument, which can be installed in any vehicle, capable of pre-localizing water losses using the technique of scatterometry. This technique involves driving a vehicle over the water pipe, identifying the sections with different moisture content than the average measurements. In this way, operators can avoid the… -
Start date: 01/09/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThis project aims to develop a novel white-box GNSS receiver with a unique capability: achieving faster-than-real-time operation. This innovation will significantly accelerate development and testing cycles. The project will leverage the high-throughput capabilities of an AMD/Xilinx Versal board to realize this functionality. Furthermore, the project will culminate in the creation of a…Prime contractor

Integer Ambiguity Resolution (IAR) concerns the successful resolution of unknown integer ambiguities present in carrier-phase measurements, which exhibit millimeter-level precision. In the context of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise positioning and navigation, the IAR process is fundamental, as once ambiguities are correctly resolved, the phase data acts as ultra-precise…Subcontractors

The management of rail logistics heavily relies on digital tools, where transport management systems (TMS) are pivotal. Despite the widespread use of TMS in road and ocean freight, rail freight lags by two decades. Addressing this discrepancy, Rail-Flow introduces a Rail TMS that integrates diverse data sources, including the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and collaborates with kasasi…Subcontractors

Start date: 16/07/2024Duration: 13 MonthsTechnology re-fresh of an existing 4-channel RDF receiver to add beamforming and null steering to mitigate the effects of increasing manmade background noise and interference. Remote access will be provided for firmware update and for remote monitoring, and for multi-receiver triangulation. The engineering needs to be designed to accommodate antenna compromises including high local interference…Subcontractors

Xairos UK Limited, Inmarsat, and Heriot-Watt University will advance the development of satellite-based Quantum Time Transfer (QTT). This project will advance the development of QTT, a new secure optical two-way time transfer technology capable of highly secure picosecond level precision between ground-based clocks and clocks onboard satellites. QTT utilises individual photon pairs entangled in…Subcontractors

Start date: 12/07/2024Duration: 18 MonthsThe main technical objective of the activity is the design of a prototype receiving antenna in Ka-Band for satellite navigation. To reach this objective, suitable antenna design solutions will be identified that may fit to small satellite platforms (eg nU Cubesats), by either being small in dimensions of deployable. The proposed design concepts must meet the requirements for navigation functions…Prime contractor
