Tender reference number: 746/PP/GRO/RCH/19/11305

Deadline: 05/07/2019

This project aims to increase the use of the European global navigation satellite systems (EGNSS) Galileo and EGNOS in the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) market.  It will put in place the necessary means at service provision level for facilitating the operational use of EGNSS by operators and their approval by aviation authorities. The project will focus on the Open and Specific categories.

Improvements to the EGNOS and Galileo service provision layer are to be assessed from the user point of view, considering the particular needs of the drone market and its regulatory framework (e.g. SORA). This project will not assess how these improvements can be implemented into changes to the EGNOS and/or Galileo system or service provision layers (i.e. EGNOS Service Provider and Galileo Operator).
