Imagine a super-accurate GPS for planes that works even in thick fog or storms. Instead of relying on expensive ground hardware at every runway, this system uses multiple satellite networks to guide planes down safely. It's like upgrading from a basic map to a high-definition live guide for pilots.
Airports rely on expensive, high-maintenance ground equipment for low-visibility landings. Current single-frequency systems are vulnerable to ionospheric disturbances, causing flight delays and increased fuel burn.
A validated Dual-Frequency Multi-Constellation (DFMC) GBAS solution aligned with ICAO GAST E standards for precision aircraft approach.
If you are an airport operator dealing with flight delays during low visibility — this project developed a DFMC GBAS solution that enables CAT III precision landings. This reduces the need for expensive traditional ILS hardware while maintaining safety.
If you are an avionics manufacturer dealing with outdated single-frequency receivers — this project developed a way to integrate Galileo and GPS signals. This allows your hardware to support GAST E standards for more robust aircraft guidance.
If you are a regulator dealing with high carbon emissions from circling aircraft — this project developed optimized descent operations. This leads to reduced fuel consumption and smaller noise footprints for cities near airports.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or implementation costs are not provided.
The project focuses on validating the DFMC solution and adapting to ICAO GAST E standards, suggesting it is moving toward industrial readiness but is currently in the validation phase.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific licensing terms, though it follows ICAO international standards.
The project period runs from 2024-01-01 to 2025-12-31, indicating the validation phase concludes at the end of 2025.
The project specifically looks at facilitating CAT II service for GAST C airborne users using GAST D ground stations with EGNSS integration.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 56% industry ratio, comprising 5 companies and 1 SME across 5 countries. This strong commercial presence, led by ENAIRE, suggests the project is closely aligned with market needs rather than purely academic research.
