Following the Dutch studies on GNSS vulnerabilities IKUS-I and IKUS-II, it was found that GNSS knowledge within organizations from the Dutch Critical Infrastructure sectors requires to be deepened and distributed. To protect Critical Infrastructure during their operations, there is a clear need to be aware of what GNSS is, what the dependencies including the risks are for an organisation and how…
GNSS 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,…
The objective of the activity is to study GNSS carrier phase integrity techniques for application in railway safety of life applications, and in particular, the evolution of the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) with virtual balise detection using GNSS.
Carrier phase positioning can achieve a significantly better performance than code-based positioning; however, to date there are no…

As the world moves towards greater levels of autonomy and automation, it is expected that wide-area safety systems and services will become the norm including both terrestrial and GNSS-based safety services. Other major developed economies in the United States/Canada (WAAS), Europe (EGNOS), Japan (MSAS), India (GAGAN), South Korea (KASS), and Australasia (SouthPAN) have now or will soon have…
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become the primary marine aid-to-navigation and source of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information. Yet, all GNSS are vulnerable to natural interference, deliberate and accidental jamming and spoofing. Trials have demonstrated that degraded GNSS produce hazardously misleading information and erroneous vessel positions without an alarm being…
Maritime transport is currently facing new challenges such as significant increases in transport volumes, more stringent environmental requirements and a shortage of seafarers in the future.
One of the many new concepts having the potential to overcome these challenges is autonomous ship navigation. In particular, the concept is expected to allow for more efficient and competitive ship operations…
The INSPIRE project aims to design, develop, and validate a novel GNSS-based positioning architecture tailored for challenging environments such as urban canyons and deep-urban areas. The project leverages meta-signal processing, peer-to-peer ranging, and hybrid positioning to improve accuracy, robustness, and availability of GNSS-based solutions in scenarios where traditional positioning systems…
