19 EGNOS It s there, use it 19

20 EGNOS System Architecture 6 Navigation Land Earth Stations 3 GEO Satellites Users & Service Providers 2 Support Facilities 4 Mission Control Centres 34 Ranging & Integrity Monitoring Stations (RIMS) GPS signals 20

21 EGNOS improves GPS over EuropeNavigation solutions powered by Europe EGNOS Geo-stationary Satellite relays error corrections to users GPS and GLONASS Satellite Constellation EGNOS position accuracy Navigation Land Earth Station (NLES): uplinks error corrections to EGNOS satellites GPS position accuracy Ranging and Integrity Monitoring Stations (RIMS) : receive GPS data & send to MCC Mission Control Centre (MCC) processes GPS data to determine errors 21

22 EGNOS RIMS Location EGNOS Satellite Footprints RIMS Ranging & Integrity Monitoring Stations (some additional RIMS are not in view) 22

23 EGNOS improvement on precision True position = Positions potentially given by receiver North South West East GPS D-GPS SBAS (EGNOS) 23

24 EGNOS Services Current Status Service Accuracy Guarantee of Service Service Status Transmission Means Open Service Typical vertical and horizontal positioning accuracy in the centre of Europe around 1m None Service available since October 2009 L1 frequency (spec: 3m horizontal, 4m vertical) Safety of Life Service Same accuracy as Open Service. SoL service levels compliant to ICAO SARPS definition for APV1 Compliance with ICAO standards (certification) Service to be made available in November 2010 L1 frequency Commercial Service (EDAS) Corrections provided by terrestrial network allow for sub-meter accuracy locally or regionally through additional processing Compliance with SLA when commercialisation will start Experimental service available; Official service to be made available in 2011 Ground network Guarantee of service is key 24

25 EGNOS Performance - availability Navigation solutions powered by Europe Nearly 100% availability for an extended period 25

26 EGNOS Performance - coverage Deployment of additional RIMS in North- East-South Europe, Northern Africa, Middle East will increase availability area of APV-1 26

27 EGNOS Performance - integrity Source: HPE Horizontal Precision Error, HPL Horizontal Protection Level With around 1 m (blue line), the measured Horizontal Precision Error in Europe is consistently better than the requirements 27

28 EGNOS coverage goes beyond EU EGNOS Service Area EGNOS Satellite Footprints 3 Geostationary satellites INMARSAT 3F2 AOR-E (15.5 W), ARTEMIS (21.3 E), INMARSAT 3F5 IOR-W (25 E) Soon replaced by: - INMARSAT 4F2 - SIRIUS 5 - ASTRA 5B 28

29 EGNOS Programme status 2009: Assets were transferred to the European Union on April 1, 2009 Open Service declaration took place on Oct 1, 2009 Long-term operator contract was signed on Oct 1, 2009 Procurement to replace the transponder on Artemis is finalized (Astra Sirius 5 to be launched in Nov 2011) Procurement to replace the transponder on Inmarsat 4F2 is ongoing (Astra 5B to be launched in June 2013) Free testing of Commercial Service by Industry & Academia Geographical extension to Africa under study 2010: Safety-of-Life Service declaration planned for November 1, after certification Commercial Service declaration planned for

30 EGNOS Certification Before EGNOS can be used for safety critical operations, it should be demonstrated that it is designed and operated in a safe manner Certification requirements baseline: Single European Sky Regulatory package: Interoperability Regulation (EC No 552/2004) Service Provision Regulation (EC No 550/2004) Provision of air navigation services in the Single European Sky Commission Regulation (EC No 2096/2005) ANSP certification process Safety Oversight Regulation (EC No1315/2007) 30

31 EGNOS benefits in aviation General operational benefits Reduction in angle of approach (direct and curved) Better lateral guidance EGNOS enables a reduction in the decision height EGNOS competitive space Allows for IFR-like operation in non ILS-equipped airports Increase in airports capacity Increase in safety Increase in flight capability (e.g. helicopters) Expensive land based navaids can be avoided Enables their long term decommissioning => lower terminal charges 31

32 EGNOS Challenges Ensure certification of operator for SoL Complete ECAC coverage Remove obsolescences Manage the assets Frequency Evolution Evolution of Standards Augmentation of new GNSS LPV200 service level Maintain EGNOS over the long term Capture economic opportunities downstream, in aviation and beyond 32

34 International Cooperation 34

35 Cooperation: diverse intensity and scope Country or Region specific Agreements with: Norway, Switzerland, USA, South Korea, Ukraine, Morocco, other ad hoc for Galileo GS, other under discussion Regional training centers: Asia, Africa, Latin America Galileo/EGNOS applications development R & D EGNOS modular extension General Multilateral: Founding member of UN International Committee on GNSS & Providers Forum, candidate to host ICG in 2010 Compatibility Interoperability Standardisation Trade matters 35

36 EU Objectives in Bi/Multi-lateral Coordination Ensure compatibility at a minimum: ability of space-based PNT services to be used separately or together without interfering with each individual service or signal, and without adversely affecting national security Radio frequency compatibility (ITU provides a framework) Spectral separation between PRS and other signals Compatibility is a MUST Once Compatibility has been achieved, interoperability can be addressed 36

37 EU Objectives in Bi/Multi-lateral Coordination Galileo encourages interoperability between Galileo open signals (OS, SoL and CS) and other space-based PNT signals when desirable for the benefits of users Focus on E1 CBOC (MBOC), AltBOC E5 (which includes E5a & E5b) and E6 CS signals Common maximum power level is a necessary aspect of Interoperability (and compatibility) Highest minimum power level is a desired aspect as well 37

38 Outstanding Issues on Interoperability Definition of interoperability? Technical: same center frequency, same modulation, commonly agreed maximum power level, geodetic reference frames realization and system time reference Non-technical: transparency and availability of open information on signals (e.g. SIS ICD), availability of open information on performance standards and actual performance ICG (International Committee GNSS) should work on the definition of consolidated boundary conditions to achieve interoperability 38

39 EU US Agreement 2004 Agreement: plenary session held in October 2008 Radio-frequency compatibility and interoperability: common MBOC civil signal on GPS L1C Galileo E1 open service Trade and civil applications Design and development of the next generation Security and International aspects 39

40 China EU Agreement 2003 Agreement: regular steering Committee meetings Run by MOST and European Commission Beidou/Compass was not involved until recently Technical Working Group regular meetings to address the compatibility and interoperability between Galileo and Compass Industrial Working Group regular meetings to address industrial cooperation 40

41 India EU Draft Agreement Regular meetings to address the compatibility and interoperability of IRNSS and GAGAN with Galileo and EGNOS 41

42 Russian Federation EU Discussions Under the hospices of the EU RF Space Dialogue Regular meetings to address the compatibility and interoperability of GLONASS and SDCM with Galileo and EGNOS Draft Agreement under discussion 42

43 Japan EU Discussions Regular meetings to address the compatibility and interoperability of QZSS with Galileo Good prospect for an E6 CS / QZSS Lex interoperable signal Draft Agreement under consideration 43

Africa S. Africa EGNOS Satellite Footprints To be further evaluated 45

46 Conclusions EGNOS enters its operational phase EGNOS Open Service since Oct 2009 EGNOS Safety-of Life-Service in 2010 Galileo is progressing, at the crossing between the development (IOV) and deployment (FOC) phases GIOVE-A, GIOVE-B missions on-going FOC procurement on-going First two operational satellites in 2010 OS, S&R Service, PRS as of 2014 International cooperation is important GALILEO: - Secure ground infrastructure - Compatibility as a minimum, interoperability desired - Enable new services provision, free trade and fair access to markets worldwide EGNOS: - Leverage EU investment to service other areas - Applications development on common standards 46
