Last month, two Call for tenders (CFT) related to Mission and Services R&D Actions under H2020 have been published: “Galileo Emergency Warning Service” and “EGNOS maritime safety service analysis”.

Galileo Emergency Warning Service: The aim to award a contract to assess the potential deployment of a new, global, reliable and efficient Emergency Warning Service (EWS) based on the Galileo infrastructure.
Time limit: 5 September 2016  /  Estimated total value: EUR 1 000 000.00 (excluding VAT)

EGNOS maritime safety service analysis: The purpose is to carry out technical activities to support the identification of requirements for a potential EGNOS V3 maritime safety service based on the use of a SBAS dual frequency GPS/Galileo (DFDC) receiver. The purpose is not only limited to the technical analysis but also to carry out cost-benefit analyses to determine pre-requisites for maritime authorities to decide to use GNSS as an aid to navigation in harbours and for inland waterways, and to determine what will motivate users to decide to equip with the SBAS DFDC receivers.
