The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG-DEFIS) has issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a service contract to address how the future evolution of European GNSS (EGNSS) could be beneficial for innovative demanding applications. The new service contract shall assess the feasibility of an integrity service complementing EGNSS High Accuracy in the 2030+ timeframe. 

The new service contract will feed into the evolving needs of demanding new applications without disrupting the current business models of established service providers. This action serves to assess the respective merits of various directions for the Galileo and EGNOS services to evolve and to build roadmaps of the steps needed before operational introduction of such new services.

A webinar to explain the framework and objectives of the procurement and the different tasks in the procurement is planned on 23 September 2020 at 16:00 CEST. You can register here.

More information about the Invitation to Tender (ITT) and the contract notice publication can be found here.

Emerging/Next-generation applications will require more demanding positioning solutions to be able to offer innovative services in the future. What could be the role of EGNOS and Galileo in the 2030+ timeframe for demanding and innovative applications?

The European Commission is currently specifying the long-term evolution of the EGNSS programme, including new services for Galileo and EGNOS. The use of an integrity service complementing European GNSS (EGNSS) High Accuracy in the 2030 horizon could result in the provision of an accurate and reliable positioning solution which would translate into the overall improvement of future innovative and demanding services. 

Galileo is Europe’s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) providing an accurate, guaranteed global positioning service under civilian control. Galileo is operational since the Initial Service declaration at the end of 2016. As part of the main services provided by Galileo, the Galileo High-Accuracy Service (HAS) shall provide in the near future a high-accuracy positioning and synchronisation information.

EGNOS is the European SBAS and augments GPS L1 C/A civilian signal by providing corrections and integrity information for positioning and navigation applications over Europe. EGNOS version 3, will in the near future augment both GPS and Galileo constellations in the L1 and L5 bands and will extend the service area to the entire landmasses of EU Member States. New EGNOS services could be implemented in further releases of EGNOS as an option for the integrity service complementing EGNSS High Accuracy.

The European GNSS Agency’s (GSA) User Technology Report 2020 is on the horizon. In this issue, the Report will present an overview of the current GNSS user technology trends and developments across four macrosegments: high volume devices, safety- and liability-critical devices, high-accuracy devices, timing devices.

Already at its third edition, the GNSS User Technology Report provides - together with its sister publication the GNSS Market Report - market intelligence, expert analysis on the industry’s dynamics and trending domains. The report is referenced extensively by industry and decision-makers and its 2018 edition has been downloaded over 7500 times.

The 2020 Report starts with an overview of GNSS, RNSS and SBAS updates followed by a summary of recent developments and future trends in GNSS user technology, common to all device types. It then takes an in-depth look into four macrosegments defined on the basis of commonalities from the technology point-of view: high volume devices, safety- and liability-critical devices, high-accuracy devices and newly timing devices. Each chapter starts with the macrosegment characteristics and receiver capabilities, depicts the industry landscape and typical receiver form factor, it then delves into the key current and future drivers and trends, and finishes with the added value of the EGNSS for the macrosegment at stake.

In the 2020 issue, the Editor´s special focuses on Space Data for Europe, and the role of flagship European Space Programmes, Copernicus and Galileo. It also provides a vision of major transformations under way within our society and our economy, and benefits expected from this digital transformation, including to enable the European Data Strategy or Green Deal.

A sneak peek from this year’s report:

• Multi-constellation is already standard in most of the segments, GNSS receivers across all domains are now more commonly featuring multi-frequency support in order to deliver better performances to end users (primarily greater accuracy and robustness to interferences);

• There are many high-accuracy services now available on the market to all category of users;

• Protection measures against GNSS jamming and spoofing are implemented through different combinations of technologies on both the receivers and their antennas, through the use of multiple sources of positioning information as well as the authentication of GNSS signals;

• Sensors of all types are now routinely integrated with GNSS receivers and their outputs; While largely propelled by the emerging world of ‘autonomous things’, this trend widely benefit to other sectors, leading to ubiquitous localization and timing, ubiquitous sensing, ubiquitous connectivity, where each subsystem contributes to the performance of the others and where the seamless integration of space and ground components is paramount to achieve truly global ubiquity.
