Imagine an air taxi that needs to know exactly where it is to avoid buildings, but someone tries to trick its GPS. This project builds a high-tech 'digital compass' that combines satellite signals with internal motion sensors to stop these tricks. It ensures the aircraft stays on track even in crowded city environments where signals often drop.
Urban Air Mobility requires extreme navigation precision and security, but current systems are vulnerable to spoofing and signal loss in cities. Additionally, strict battery weight limits make bulky avionics impractical.
Integrated GNSS/INS platforms using authenticated Galileo E1 signals and PPP-RTK corrections from the High Accuracy Service.
If you are an eVTOL OEM dealing with the need for certified flight control systems — this project developed integrated GNSS/INS platforms that provide greater robustness against spoofing. This allows for safer uncrewed vehicle operations in urban areas.
If you are an air taxi operator dealing with safety-critical operations in constrained city environments — this project developed a system using authenticated Galileo E1 signals. This ensures better continuity and availability of positioning data for passenger flights.
If you are a navigation hardware provider dealing with the low power/weight ratio of batteries — this project developed compact, integrated PNT modules. This helps reduce the weight of avionics to maximize the aircraft's flight range.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost details for the resulting products are not provided.
The project focuses on the creation of new integrated and certified products for the upcoming air mobility market, suggesting a path toward industrial scale.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project involves 6 industry partners and 6 SMEs.
The project explicitly aims to create certified products to address safety-critical operations and mitigate security risks for flight operators.
It uses a low-level data fusion between GNSS and INS, leveraging the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) for improved precision.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 75% of the 8 partners being industrial entities, 6 of which are SMEs. This high concentration of private companies across 4 countries (AT, CH, ES, IT) indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and productization rather than pure academic research.
