The demand for accurate, reliable and secure Position, Navigation and Time (PNT) solution, from a number of different applications include the National Critical Infrastructures (CNI), is increasing. GNSS is a key technology for high-performance PNT, due to its high levels of accuracy, global coverage and its lack of service cost. On the other hand, the spoofing of GNSS is an evolving threat,…Prime contractor

Start date: 29/09/2021Duration: 12 MonthsOutdoor Applications of precise positioning are many-fold and include pedestrian navigation with smartphones, driving and navigation of cars, ships and railways, precise mapping, surveying and object detection. All safety-critical applications such as the automated or even autonomous driving of vehicles require both accurate and extremely reliable position information with cost-efficient sensors.…Prime contractor

The need for a robust Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) system to complement or back up GNSS in critical infrastructure/critical applications is widely acknowledged. This translates into actions taken by stakeholders to further raise awareness (e.g. radio navigation plans in the US and Europe) and for some, pave the way towards some deployment (e.g. recent Request for Information initiated by…Subcontractors

Start date: 16/04/2021Duration: 18 MonthsThe Hybrid Overlay Positioning with 5G and GNSS (HOP-5G) project targets the demonstration of a 5G local overlay testbed for enhanced user positioning, in combination with GNSS and sensor technologies. Within this project, the HOP-5G consortium focuses on the exploitation of 5G innovative positioning enablers and their hybridisation with GNSS and sensors. This is based on the dedicated…Prime contractor

Start date: 07/04/2021Duration: 17 MonthsCurrent GEO and GTO missions already exploit GNSS signals for in-orbit PNT. NASA’s MMS mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 150,000 km from Earth surface (half-way the distance to the Moon). The feasibility of extending the use of GNSS for missions to the Moon has also preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP. These preliminary studies have…Subcontractors

Quantum 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… -
Start date: 02/03/2021Duration: 18 MonthsRecent advances in technology have contributed to the deployment of a "de-facto" large GNSS receiver array based on affordable smart devices that are easy to find in the consumer market (dual band smartphones, raw GNSS data recording, new sensors). These devices, evolving fast with each new generation, feature an increasing number of capabilities and sensors able to collect a variety of…Subcontractors

A great number of civilian and military applications relies on GNSS for PNT, however its availability could be put at risk by threats such as local interference, amongst others. GNSS spectrum monitoring is essential for: detecting, characterising and localising interference sources, which could endanger the adequate reception and processing of GNSS signals; initiating a justified…Prime contractor

Start date: 04/01/2021Duration: 12 MonthsThe 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…
