Following publication of the UK's first PNT Policy Framework to ensure resilience in its PNT infrastructure, NLAI will provide strategic support to the UKSA and the National PNT Office by updating key policy input sources to the SOTA (State-Of-The-Art) assessment, used to support business cases, decisions, planning, and preparedness actions. SPARK will undertake a review of the current PNT…
The VAIPOSA project aims to develop innovative methodologies for designing and implementing Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) components using AI and machine learning (ML), while ensuring safety, robustness, and resilience. It employs a realistic road environment simulator where an autonomous agent with an AI-based PNT system must adapt to changing conditions. The project enhances…

The MarRINav (Maritime Resilience and Integrity of Navigation) project proposes activities in the UK national interest to lay the foundations for the UK’s future CNI for maritime and wider sectors in respect of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) resilience and…
The UPDATE project will serve to define requirements, architecture and a development plan for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of a UK National PNT Digital Twin Environment (DTE). The MVP will meet the immediate needs of the UK Government with respect to delivery of its Policy Framework for Greater PNT Resilience (10-point plan). It will provide data in support of the development of business cases…
Xona Space Systems UK, QinetiQ, and Xona Space Systems Canada are undertaking a collaborative project to develop hardware-in-the-loop testbeds of the PULSAR PNT service. These will help to develop user equipment and to showcase the improvements the service will provide to various use cases for Automotive and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) through enhanced positioning performance and…
The project "GNSS vulnerability & mitigation in Czech Republic" was managed and conducted by the GNSS Centre of Excellence (GCE) together with its partners Huld and the Research Institute of Posts and Telecommunications (VUS). The high-level objective of the project was to support Czech and Slovak activities related to the GNSS vulnerability and mitigation with a focus on the national critical…
VESTA Project intends to realize a drone-based system for real-time traffic monitoring on a Smart Road environment, designed with a very high level of cyber resilience, to ensure a safe, secure and reliable service anytime. The core of VESTA System consists in VESTA Dashboard, i.e. a web-based interface providing the access to road traffic data on behalf of different users (infrastructure…
GNSS technology has demonstrated its capability to provide very good performance in Europe up to LPV 200 based on GPS L1 (single frequency, single constellation) and is expected to reach CAT I Autoland with the future DFMC mode (Dual Frequency, Multi Constellations – GPS & GAL). It is very challenging to improve this performance, more specifically the 6-second Time To Alert (TTA) that seems…
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…
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…
