    The European Commission, DG JRC - Joint Research Centre, located in Belgium, has awarded a contract to AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE GMBH for a study on Fused PNT Analyses based on European Infrastructure. This service contract, valued at 385,000 EUR and lasting 1 year, focuses on developing a user terminal prototype and a simulated environment to assess the performance of Fused PNT. Key objectives include developing a software receiver for 3GPP reference signals for Non-terrestrial networks (NTN), modeling multipath channels and intersatellite interference, consolidating the E2E emulator, demonstrating fused PNT ranging performance in a simulated environment, and validating acquisition and tracking performance in a realistic environment. The award was based on quality (70%) and price (30%), and three bids were received.

    About the bid

      The European Commission is launching a study on the potential use of communication-oriented LEO constellations for the deployment of a complementary PNT service. This approach is normally referred to as Fused PNT. This tender will focus on developing a user terminal prototype and a simulated environment enabling to assess the performance of Fused PNT under a realistic set of propagation conditions and inter-satellite interference. In this procurement, the main goals of the European Commission are: • To develop a software receiver, supporting acquisition and tracking of 3GPP reference signals for Non-terrestrial networks (NTN) • To model multipath channel and intersatellite interference, in order to test the software receiver under the realistic satellite based propagation channel and interferences; • To consolidate and complement the part of the E2E emulator, by adding multipath and intersatellite interference models; • To demonstrate the performance of fused PNT ranging in a representative simulated environment • To validate the acquisition and tracking performance in realistic environment.
