Core thread across COREGAL, mapKITE, GIMS, DELOREAN, AMPERE, and GAMMS — all rely on Galileo signals including advanced features like E5 AltBOC and High Accuracy Service.
GEONUMERICS SL
Spanish SME developing Galileo/GNSS precision positioning algorithms for autonomous mapping, drone navigation, and environmental monitoring systems.
Their core work
Geonumerics is a Spanish technology SME specializing in satellite navigation (GNSS/Galileo) and geospatial data processing for precision positioning, mapping, and monitoring applications. They develop algorithms and systems that combine GNSS signals with sensors like inertial units, cameras, and LiDAR to create high-accuracy mobile mapping platforms — both ground-based and drone-mounted. Their work spans forest biomass estimation, infrastructure monitoring (landslides, subsidence), urban air mobility navigation, and autonomous vehicle positioning. They turn raw satellite and sensor data into actionable geospatial intelligence for sectors ranging from environmental management to urban logistics.
What they specialise in
mapKITE developed a terrestrial-aerial mapping system, M2M commercialized it, and GAMMS builds an autonomous GNSS-based mobile mapping platform.
COREGAL used UAVs for forest reflectometry, DELOREAN focused on drone navigation for urban air mobility, and GAMMS integrates autonomous vehicle positioning.
GIMS addressed landslide and subsidence monitoring with InSAR and MEMS sensors; COREGAL mapped forest biomass; AMPERE mapped infrastructure assets.
DELOREAN and GAMMS represent a shift toward autonomous vehicle and drone navigation in urban environments using authenticated Galileo signals.
How they've shifted over time
Geonumerics began with foundational GNSS research — Galileo signal processing, reflectometry for forest biomass (COREGAL), and aerial-terrestrial mapping systems (mapKITE). From 2019 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward applied urban and autonomous systems: drone navigation for urban delivery (DELOREAN), asset mapping for electrification (AMPERE), and autonomous mobile mapping with Galileo authentication (GAMMS). The trajectory shows a company moving from sensor-level R&D toward integrated, market-ready autonomous positioning platforms.
Geonumerics is positioning itself at the intersection of Galileo's new authenticated services and autonomous systems — expect them to pursue projects in autonomous mapping, drone logistics, and smart city navigation.
How they like to work
Geonumerics operates as both a coordinator and a specialist partner, having led 3 of 8 projects (including their commercialization effort M2M and the latest GAMMS). With 41 unique partners across 14 countries, they build diverse consortia rather than relying on a fixed group. Their coordination of GAMMS (their largest grant at EUR 280K) signals growing confidence in leading projects, while their participation in larger consortia like DELOREAN and AMPERE shows they can contribute deep technical expertise as a component provider.
Geonumerics has built a broad European network of 41 partners across 14 countries, reflecting the international nature of GNSS and space technology projects. Their Barcelona base connects them well to both Southern European and pan-European space and navigation communities.
What sets them apart
Geonumerics occupies a rare niche: a small company with deep expertise in both GNSS signal processing (down to the Galileo AltBOC and HAS level) and practical system integration for mapping and navigation. Unlike large aerospace firms, they are agile enough to prototype and commercialize quickly — as shown by the mapKITE-to-M2M pipeline. For consortium builders, they bring the specific Galileo positioning algorithms that make autonomous mapping, drone navigation, or monitoring systems actually work at the precision level required.
Highlights from their portfolio
- GAMMSTheir largest funded project (EUR 280K) and most recent coordination role, building an autonomous GNSS-based mobile mapping system — represents the culmination of their expertise trajectory.
- mapKITECoordinated development of a combined ground-aerial EGNOS/Galileo mapping system, which they then took to market through the dedicated SME Instrument project M2M.
- DELOREANLongest-running project (2019-2023), positioning Geonumerics in the emerging urban air mobility sector with EGNSS-based drone navigation.
