Start date: 19/05/2021Date of Completion: 21/05/2021Position uncertainty during autonomous manoeuvres such as orbit-raising/de-orbiting requires that the local knowledge during low thrust (i.e. with electric propulsion) is accurately determined. Current orbit-raising assumes semi-autonomous control assisted by GNSS, with a long time integral to measure increasing altitude and trajectory of the satellite. The use of a hybrid GNSS unit that…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/01/2018GNSS is the only global, free, comprehensive technology providing absolute PNT data to users worldwide. Its limitations are known, including long life cycle and replenishment schedule, affecting their ability to adapt easily to short-term market needs and to some extent, resilience. Considering the above, alternative PNT methods and solutions have been developed or are being investigated,…Prime contractor

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: 15/01/2019The current evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities, together with the proliferation in the last years of cloud platforms where storage and processing of data can, ideally, be handled on demand, has boosted the appearance of new applications and services in the positioning domain of potential interest for specific use cases. In particular, the processing in the cloud of GNSS… -
Start date: 18/01/2018The use of GNSS observations from reference stations for the derivation of Integrated Water Vapour and assimilated into Numerical Weather Prediction Models has been demonstrated and is in use for weather prediction. With the emergence of multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS the possibilities of weather prediction with GNSS are increasing dramatically. Furthermore, with the emergence of…Prime contractor

Start date: 15/01/2018GNSS antennas in user receiver devices are relatively simple. More sophisticated antennas could be designed to bring spatial diversity and gain, and to be more resistant against spoofing and meaconing, as well as reducing other sources of interference, for instance by nulling the gain of the antenna in this direction. Using arrays of dynamic elements (phase/gain controlled) would also make it…Prime contractor

Start date: 09/04/2018Final Presentation Executive Summary Report ERTMS is an EU initiative with the aim of improving safety and increasing interoperability of rail transport through a Europe-wide standard for train control and command systems, replacing existing national systems. ERTMS consists of two parts: the European Train Control System (ETCS), an automatic train protection system providing in-cab train… -
Start date: 01/10/2018Wireless positioning systems based on passive ranging, as used in GNSS today, are very attractive and represent the most pragmatic and cost-beneficial solution for worldwide positioning in benign, secured environments; however, this may no longer be a one-size-fits-all solution for modern radionavigation usage as the need for complementary solutions offering adaptability, reliability and trust is…Subcontractors
