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

Start date: 16/07/2024Duration: 18 MonthsDevelopment of a broadband RDF receiver and antenna system for noise and interference mapping covering the HF to UHF bands so including GNSS bands. Each receiver will include edge computing for signature analysis and compression and will be networked to a central location for heat mapping of the noise and interference sources taking inputs form large numbers of receivers. The engineering is…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

The new Dynamic Optical Ranging & Timing (DORT) system opens up new possibilities for time and frequency transmission, especially in the NewSpace range. Due to its compactness and robustness, the system can be easily implemented in a CubeSat. In this project, the application of a satellite time bridge will be considered in particular. This is an alternative to realise (inter-)continental clock…Prime contractor

The main objective of this project is to develop and implement a combined eLoran and GNSS receiver, and demonstrate in a number of realistic scenarios that these can be combined to provide a more robust and reliable navigation solution. The project will be 15-18 months in duration, and will involve technology and concept research, design of the software and hardware, build, testing and an… -
Start date: 30/06/2024Duration: 12 MonthsUnmanned Aerial systems (UAS) industry has undergone significant growth, propelled by advancements in miniaturization, cost-effectiveness and sensor fusion frameworks. However, this market is still lacking trustworthiness as enabler for safety-sensitive operations. To achieve scaled adoption, user acceptance, and compliance to regulatory and standardization ecosystem are key…Prime contractor

This project aims to address the increasing drone safety risks by developing redundant sensing with an integrated multi-sensor system to ensure drone Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in various conditions. As GNSS becomes more vulnerable, there is a need for more resistant and robust drone PNT, which would maintain the accuracy even in the absence of GNSS. We will develop a…Subcontractors
