Have an idea that uses Galileo positioning to address a pressing societal challenge? Take it to the next level by entering it in this year’s Galileo Masters competition. Every year, the Galileo Masters acts as a springboard for exciting new ideas and awards new applications and services that use Galileo and EGNOS, also in synergy with other space programmes, to respond to pressing needs facing business and society.

As in previous years, in 2020 the Galileo Masters partner challenges offer excellent opportunities for forward‐thinking ideas based on space data to make the jump from the drawing board to a working app. The deadline for submissions is 30 June, so there is still time to apply. Even if your idea is not yet fully formed, make sure to register so you can receive information about all the great support activities and additional opportunities that arise throughout the submission phase. You can register here.

This year there is a total of EUR 750,000 up for grabs across seven key challenges, of which the European GNSS Agency (GSA) is sponsoring three. The GSA’s Space for Being Safe and Healthy Challenge is looking for solutions that use downstream space data provided by Galileo, EGNOS and/or Copernicus to help stem the spread of COVID-19.

In its Space for Fun Challenge, the GSA is targeting solutions using data from Galileo and EGNOS in the gaming, sports and leisure, and tourism markets. This challenge covers a number of market segments and so has a lot of scope for new ideas that need accurate and authenticated positioning. Finally, the Space for our Planet Challenge, aims to tackle climate change and environmental degradation, which represent an existential threat in Europe and worldwide. 

Space for future generations

“The focus of the GSA challenges in 2020 is essentially children. We are targeting applications that leverage space to make the world a better place for future generations,” said GSA Head of Market Development Fiammetta Diani. “Pandemics like COVID-19 represent an ever-present threat and, although it was conceived before the current pandemic, the Space for Being Safe and Healthy Challenge aims to channel space tech into meeting this challenge,” she said.

“The other great threat to future generations comes from climate change, and solutions that will help with climate change adaptation and mitigation are our target in the Space for our Planet Challenge,” Diani said. “But there is a light-hearted side to this year’s challenges also – children deserve to play and have fun, and we hope to find some exciting new ideas for sports and games in our Space for Fun challenge,” she said.

The GSA is co-hosting a webinar ‘Space for future generations’ on 17 June 2020 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CEST along with competition organiser AZO and winner of last year’s Galileo-Copernicus Synergy Challenge Xylene. The webinar will focus on the Galileo-Copernicus Synergy Challenge and the benefits offered by synergies between the two European space programmes, while exploring potential applications with commercial and societal benefits arising from these synergies. Interested? Find out more here.

Inspiration from the past

While fine-tuning your idea for this year’s competition, you might take some inspiration from past winners. The overall winner at last year’s Galileo Masters was Performance Cockpit, a business intelligence system that aims to lessen the environmental footprint of the aviation sector by increasing operational efficiency and considerably reducing fuel consumption. 

The Galileo-Copernicus Synergy Challenge in 2019 went to Xylene, an app that revolutionises the way timber is supplied to the market. The concept behind the Xylene app is to document every step of the timber supply chain, from the forest to the final product. 

Winner in the 2019 "Start-up of the Year" category was PODIS (POst DIstress Signal). PODIS is a client-server IoT solution for automatic crash notification. Its unique selling point is its patented methodology for filtering out false alarms, which it does on the server side. In this way PODIS maximises use of the “golden hour” within which trauma professionals aim to get injured people into hospital to increase their chances of survival.

Finally, Idea of the Year in 2019 went to CX Geodrone, which is developing a drone payload based on radar equipment and post-processing techniques for geo-referenced data to complement (and sometimes replace) LiDAR laser technologies and take the next step in underground detection applications.

Winner of the GSA Special Prize at the 2013 Galileo Masters (former European Satellite Navigation Competition - ESNC), JOHAN has successfully established a start-up and is expanding its products portfolio. The company has developed GNSS-enabled motion sensors for location determination and performance measurement of sports teams, especially football and hockey players. The latest version of the sports tracker - V5 - leverages EGNOS/SBAS for extra accuracy.

The JOHAN V5 tracking system was developed in close collaboration with professional sports teams and offers accuracy, usability, and efficiency in a system that allows sports coaches to make quick and data-based decisions about player performance, injury risks, and training programmes.

The latest version of the sports tracker, the JOHAN V5, is equipped with a small powerful GNSS chip which, in combination with GNSS ground stations and sensor fusion, ensures high positioning accuracy. In addition, the V5 sensor also contains an integrated heart rate monitor, so that GNSS and heart rate data can be collected simultaneously from the players, who only need to wear one sensor. The latest version of the tracker offers real-time functionality, making it possible to translate live insights into training adjustments, through a user-friendly app.

Galileo for team spirit

The GNSS tracker – which is Galileo enabled – can determine a player’s position up to 1.5 metres and when this is combined with measurements from inertial sensors the level of accuracy increases even further. The monitor allows sports coaches or trainers to monitor the heart rate, number of sprints, distance covered and speed of all the team’s players.

After using the tracer, players and coaches can review their performance, allowing players to spot weaknesses and improve their game over time and enabling coaches to make data-based tactical decisions to take advantage of players’ strengths and improve overall team performance.

“Sports trackers are yet another example of how Europe’s investment in space is being leveraged to provide innovative services in multiple sectors. In this case, Galileo’s accurate positioning is used to provide data-driven insights, allowing trainers to better strategize and enabling players to improve their performance,” said Fiammetta Diani, Head of Market Development at the GSA.

The V5 trackers are connected to a smart JOHAN control suitcase using new Bluetooth 5 technology, enabling live tracking. Bluetooth 5 technology has a range of over 400 meters, making it possible connect with the Live App to present accurate and consistent live tracking data.

GSA prize winner

Winning the GSA Special Prize at the ESNC in 2013 provided finance for incubation at an incubation centre of the project’s choice and JOHAN decided to cooperate with the European Space Agency’s Business Innovation Centre in Noordwijk. Working from this centre, the company ramped up development, adding customers and raising funds. 

With kits to monitor teams of five players starting at EUR 995  per year, the company currently has more than 2,400 trackers in use by more than 120 teams in more than 24 countries, including Panathinaikos F.C. (Super League, Greece), Feyenoord Academy (Eredivisie, Netherlands), SC Braga Academy (Primeira Liga, Portugal) and the Icelandic national football team (FIFA, Iceland).

A webinar is being organised by the Global ARAIM for Dual-Constellation (GLAD) project, co-funded by the European GNSS Agency (GSA), which is developing the Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) prototype receiver under the Fundamental Elements programme. It will take place on 24 June and will cover the ARAIM concept and GLAD activities during the prototyping and demonstration of the results. You can register here.

The Advanced RAIM (ARAIM) concept extends the traditional legacy GPS single frequency Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) by using multiple GNSS constellations that may include signals from the same satellite transmitting more than one frequency. The Galileo constellation, in addition to GPS, provides a Dual Frequency Multi-Constellation (DFMC) system that allows for robustness and redundancy. In the aviation sector, when DFMC is supported by a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and ARAIM, satellite availability is leveraged with accuracy in position, and the associated integrity and continuity elevated in terms of radio navigation performance.  

The ARAIM concept started to take shape in the Working Group C, the ARAIM Technical Subgroup, that was established in 2010, based on the US-EU bilateral agreement on GPS-Galileo co-operation agreement signed in 2004 with the goal to develop GPS-Galileo integrated applications for Safety of Life operations. 

Concept wise, each GNSS Constellation Service Provider (CSP) will transmit an Integrity Support Message (ISM) to broadcast integrity information associated with its own system. The airborne receiver’s ARAIM algorithm processes this information to gain sufficient confidence in the information provided by the specific GNSS constellation in order to meet required safety criteria in terms of lateral and vertical guidance, thereby addressing the requirement for all phases of flight up to Category I (CAT I) precision approach capability/LPV 200 approach globally in the future.

GLobal ARAIM for Dual-Constellation (GLAD) is an innovative project focusing on the development of ARAIM capability within the Collins’ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR). This project is funded by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) under the “Development of an Advanced RAIM Multi-Constellation Receiver” Call for proposals. The key tenet for Collins Aerospace, a key aviation market player, was to work closely with the GSA to support the definition and development of ARAIM features to meet global airspace modernisation requirements. To that effect, Collins put together a GLAD project team which comprises Airbus, GMV, NATS and Pildo Labs to lead an ARAIM development prototyping activity. The project commenced in May 2018 and ends in June 2020. 

The key objectives of the GLAD project is the maturation of the ARAIM concept by prototyping the algorithm within critical components of the Collins’ GLU-2100 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), followed by testing and assessing the performance of the algorithm. In addition, the project focused on concepts of operations (CONOPS) using ARAIM and collaborated with Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to engage and understand the requirements for airport operations. The team also contributed to standardisation activities within GNSS working groups. 

The GLAD team has successfully conducted ground experiments demonstrating real-time horizontal and vertical ARAIM performance, with a horizontal precision of 0.3 NM and vertical precision supporting LPV-200. The future benefits will include significant contributions to improvements in position integrity, and to underpinning the economic (fuel and time), environmental (CO₂) and safety aspects required by the aviation industry.

To reach the objectives set out within the project framework, the GSA and GLAD Team take the opportunity to invite stakeholders to a Webinar on 24th June 2020 to explain the ARAIM concept, outcomes of the project and show the ARAIM prototype developed. You can register here.

The airborne receiver’s ARAIM algorithm processes this information to gain sufficient confidence in the information provided by the specific GNSS constellation in order to meet safety-required criteria in terms of lateral and vertical guidance, and as such addressing the requirement for all phases of flight up to Category I (CAT I) precision approach capability/LPV 200 approach globally in the future.

GLobal ARAIM for Dual-Constellation (GLAD) is an innovative project focusing on development an ARAIM capability within the Collins’ Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR). This project is funded by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) under the “Development of an Advanced RAIM Multi-Constellation Receiver” Call for proposal. The key tenet for Collins Aerospace, a key aviation market player, was to work closely with the GSA to support the definition and development of ARAIM features to meet the global airspace modernisation requirements. To that effect, Collins put together a GLAD project team which comprises of Airbus, GMV, NATS and Pildo Labs to lead an ARAIM development prototyping activity. The project commenced in May 2018 and completes in June 2020. 

The key objectives of the GLAD project is the maturation of the ARAIM concept by prototyping the algorithm within critical components of the Collins’ GLU-2100 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), followed by testing and assessing the performance of the algorithm. In addition, the project focused on concepts of operations (CONOPS) using ARAIM and collaborated with Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to engage and understand the requirements for airport operations. The team also contributed to standardisation activities within GNSS working groups. 

The GLAD team has successfully conducted ground experiments demonstrating real-time horizontal and vertical ARAIM performance, with a horizontal precision of 0.3 NM and vertical precision supporting LPV-200. The future benefits to this will be significant contributions to improvements in position integrity, and underpins the economic (fuel and time), environmental (CO2) and safety aspects required by the aviation industry.

To conclude the objectives set out within the project framework, the GSA and GLAD Team take the opportunity to invite the stakeholders to a Webinar on 24th June 2020 to explain the ARAIM concept, outcomes of the project and show the ARAIM prototype developed. You can register here.

A webinar was organised by the Global ARAIM for Dual-Constellation (GLAD) project, co-funded by the European GNSS Agency (GSA), which is developing the Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) prototype receiver under the Fundamental Elements programme. With more than 80 participants, the webinar covered the ARAIM concept and GLAD activities during the prototyping and demonstration of the results.

The Advanced RAIM (ARAIM) concept extends the traditional legacy GPS single frequency Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) by using multiple GNSS constellations that may include signals from the same satellite transmitting more than one frequency. The Galileo constellation, in addition to GPS, provides a Dual Frequency Multi-Constellation (DFMC) system that allows for robustness and redundancy. In the aviation sector, when DFMC is supported by a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and ARAIM, satellite availability is leveraged with accuracy in position, and the associated integrity and continuity elevated in terms of radio navigation performance.
