Optical clocks are at the core of alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (alt-PNT) solutions that do not depend on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). When fully realised, alt-PNT will increase the resilience of Critical National Infrastructures (such as the UK National Timing Centre) and provide many sectors of the economy with increased commercial returns.
OPTiK aims to…
UPDATE phase 2 will develop an MVP of a UK National PNT Digital Twin. The digital twin will provide “quasi-realistic model” of PNT services services across the UK (including GNSS, ELORAN and the NTC), informed by service status data, that looks, operates and behaves comparably to actual PNT services throughout the UK. The outcome of the project will be an open and modular PNT DT architecture…
Spirent is aiming to develop and provide a test framework for PNT resiliency testing for users, operators, and providers of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). The proposed framework will consist of the Spirent PNT Alliance, the Spirent Shopfront and the Resilient PNT Assessment Scheme, and will provide support to each of the ten points of the UK government’s Resilient PNT strategy [17], by…
The following specific objectives have been identified for the INSPIRe project:
Investigate, develop and bench-test techniques and algorithms for autonomous user-level integrity monitoring, based on:
◾Dual-frequency multi-constellation GNSS
◾EGNOS (as a source of error characterisation of GNSS)
◾Dead Reckoning systems (inertial)
Investigate, develop and bench-test equipment…
The objective of LOCFIT (LOCalisation For Iot and Tracking) project is to develop innovative and robust infrastructure-based position-bounding solutions that exploit satellite uplink measurements of connected devices.
Targeted users are low energy and low cost devices, with long life duration without maintenance, dedicated to :
Land transportation: tracking of critical…
The project has been started in order to satisfy the requirements from specific Czech customers. The aim of the project is to develop and penetrate the EU railway market with a modular and precise positioning and communication device called NavCom X utilising Galileo as a preferred GNSS. Supplementary a methodology for testing performance and resilience of the system and its PNT solutions based on…
There is increasing worldwide dependency on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that deliver uninterrupted timing signals. This GNSS dependency is driving novel holdover clock development to flywheel over periods when the GNSS signal is unavailable. Enhanced GNSS with next-generation optical clock technologies could facilitate both significantly reduced positioning errors and improved…

The main objective of (VALLE) is to develop an innovative Privacy Preserving PNT concept that explore the possibilities and capabilities of the Privacy Enhancing Technologies, validating their functionalities but also non-functional aspects such as resilience and robustness by a dedicated red team analysis.
The main goal of this project can be summarized as follows:
• To identify, define and…
Enhanced-LORAN (e-LORAN) represents the latest advancement in the well-established and reliable lineage of low-frequency (90 to 110 kHz) Long-Range Navigation (LORAN) systems. It offers a Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) service suitable for all modes of transportation and various other applications.
The development of a miniature eLoran antenna marks a significant technological…
