3 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CONTEXT The main justification for the Galileo Programme is essentially related to a twofold objective: to get independence and autonomy of Europe with regard to other GNSSs as well as a significant share of the huge and continuously growing worldwide GNSS market. GNSS applications and services is one of the most promising sectors in terms of European growth, with an annual growth rate of global GNSS market amounting to around +10% per year. The global GNSS market is expected to reach around EUR 240 billion by However, Europe does not succeed at the game. The current European market share is approximately 20% - if not lower compared to a traditional European share of 33% for any other global high-tech sector. The main rationale is that European GNSS downstream industry suffers from a dramatic competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis industry from other regions. In the US, Russia, China, and Japan, dedicated national strategies exist indeed to support competitiveness of their industry and enhance GNSS market take up including massive funding from R&D to manufacturing capabilities, regulation, public procurement. Year after year our competitors are increasing their supremacies. Unless an institutional action is launched to balance Asian, Russian and US industrial policies, Europe cannot expect direct benefits from Galileo & EGNOS. Furthermore, the European GNSS applications and services must rely on equipments developed by European Industry to reach the European independence. A European SatNav downstream industrial policy is essential to foster the use of European infrastructures and the return of investment in Europe, namely: the creation of new industrial activities in Europe and, with them, hundreds of thousands of jobs. It is crucial to provide the European industry with the means to be competitive on the global market and create industrial leadership. The existing and coming European GNSS systems, EGNOS and Galileo, are offering fantastic opportunities. A European strategy - such as a strategic planning to support the creation of European champions on key and critical application markets - must be established to make the most out of them. As being part of the solutions to the next generation of challenges, GNSS technology can contribute strongly to all major EU policies. In this context, the European Commission and the European GNSS downstream industry met on October 2 nd, 2014 to discuss about the key challenges to be taken up to reach the objectives of European GNSS Programmes and EU2020 ambitions. For this first key meeting, for the sake of efficiency, the scope of the discussion was limited to the role of European GNSS in European Transport Policies. Page 3 of 18

6 2 DISCUSSION OUTCOMES See slides 2-13 of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 After Mr Karamitsos welcoming remarks, Mr Gard Ueland, Chairman of Galileo Services, made a brief introduction about Galileo Services and presented the context and objectives of the meeting. 2.1 EGNOS-GALILEO ADOPTION IN AVIATION See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Philippe Laviron, Head of Strategy & Development, Thales Avionics addressed the issue of EGNOS-Galileo adoption in Aviation. He stressed the need to define an accurate deployment strategy for EGNOS & Galileo adoption in aviation. A successful strategy should be performance driven, be synchronized between all involved stakeholders, and provide valuable services/savings to operators for massive adoption. As far as the performances are concerned, it is crucial to guaranty a Minimum Operational Performance Standards for Galileo Open Signal and then associated with GPS. It is a long process that needs to be finalized (e.g. for GPS, it took 10 years between FOC (1994) and first MOPS for aviation (2004)). Besides, EU funding is required to support new generation receiver technology developments (R&D effort at low TRL levels) for: Open Signal differentiator compared to existing GNSS (GPS, GLONASS ); Multi-constellation technologies, and operational concept to match with regional mandates; With and/or without augmentation (SBAS ); While remaining certifiable. A strategy using Galileo for creating competitive industry base in Europe in the field of aviation multi-constellation receivers should be established. Then, it must be ensured that Galileo and EGNOS are delivering end-to-end services available thanks to a synchronized and efficient deployment between all involved stakeholders: receiver industry, ANSPs, Air transport industry and operators, airports, and airframe providers: e.g. current GSA-ESSP program for EGNOS adoption; Then synchronize Galileo with ATM master plan and insure consistency with ATM deployment process. Finally, the provision of valuable services/savings to operators would foster a massive adoption: e.g. to make incentive schemes available to early adopters (Airlines and/or Page 6 of 18

7 operators), to facilitate on board integration and to offer guaranty with best equipped best served principle. The last recommendation of this session is to establish a strategy in defining a European Air Navigation system based mostly on EGNOS/Galileo optimizing the current network of NAVAIDS. A.1 A.2 A.3 To define accurate deployment strategy for EGNOS & Galileo successful adoption in aviation To establish a strategy using Galileo for creating competitive industry base in Europe in the field of aviation multi constellation receivers To establish a strategy in defining a European Air Navigation system based mostly on EGNOS/Galileo optimizing the current network of NAVAIDs Aviation Aviation Aviation 2.2 INSERTION OF RPAS IN CIVIL AIRSPACE See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Olivier Colaitis, VP Institutional Relations at Airbus Defence & Space, addressed the issue of the insertion of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems in Civil Airspace. RPAS will indeed be increasingly used both for public and commercial applications. They are extensively relying today on GPS data. Moreover, in the EDA 1 RPAS Programme, the project Automatic take-off & landing (AUTARKIA) is considering using GPS-based GBAS for Military RPAS landing (Cat B). GPS is becoming a standard for RPAS. Thus, there is urgent need to provide RPAS with EGNOS & Galileo availability and integrity using multi-hybridization sensors technics to foster the uptake of European GNSS services. The necessity of using the protected signal PRS to allow the intervention of public drones even in the event of crisis is also stressed. The need to establish a strategy in introducing RPAS in Civil Airspace, both commercial and public applications is stressed. The European Commission informed Galileo Services that the EC has developed a strategy to support the progressive development of the civil drones market in Europe while addressing potentially related concerns like safety, security, privacy, liability or public acceptance. This strategy is presented in the Communication COM(2014)207 of the European Commission adopted on 8 April 2014 A new era for aviation Opening the aviation market to the civil use of RPAS in a safe and sustainable manner 2. 1 European Defence Agency 2 Page 7 of 18

8 The strategy focusses on Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), a sub-set of Unmanned Aircraft Systems which excludes fully autonomous systems. It includes: The safe and secure integration of RPAS into the European aviation system from 2016 onwards through the development of: A common safety regulatory framework proportionate to risks for drones of all classes in order to enable the creation of a single European market for civil drones applications; The necessary enabling technologies (e.g. sense & avoid, command & control communication link) within SESAR JU in close coordination with other initiatives; Measures to ensure the protection of citizens (privacy, insurance, etc.); Measures to support market development and European industries. Roadmap for the integration of civil RPAS into the European Aviation System. The strategy has been established on the basis of: An extensive consultation undertaken between 2009 and 2012 through various conferences and workshops and summarized in the Staff Working Document "Towards a European strategy for the development of civil applications of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)" SWD(2012)259 published in September ; The Roadmap for the integration of civil RPAS into the European Aviation System 4, and its annexes, from the European RPAS Steering Group: - Annex 1: Regulatory Approach 5 - Annex 2: Strategic Research Plan 6 - Annex 3: Study on the Societal impact 7 SESAR-JU is mandated to identify R&D related to RPAS to integrate them in Air Traffic Management. Navigation will be based on GNSS. Due to RPAS specificity, a specific backup solution might have to be defined (RPA pilot might have access at ATC position). The resistance to GNSS jamming and spoofing is one of the key technology and operational enablers of the insertion of RPAS in civil airspace (please see Annex 2: Strategic Research Plan). PRS is considered as a potential solution. GSA is in charge of this topic.

9 Key remarks from the European Commission EC.1 A strategy is presented in the EC Communication COM(2014)207 A new era for aviation Opening the aviation market to the civil use of RPAS in a safe and sustainable adopted on 8 April A number of documents has been produced in this context (please refer to section 2.2.). The resistance to GNSS jamming and spoofing is one of the key technology and operational enablers of the insertion of RPAS in civil airspace. The EC recommends addressing directly GSA, in charge of this topic. RPAS 2.3 EGNOS-GALILEO ADOPTION INTO RAIL See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Francesco Rispoli, VP Satellite Projects and Rail Telecommunications at Ansaldo-STS, addressed the issue of Adoption of European GNSS into the ERTMS-ETCS railways train control system. The Rail community and in particular those supporting ERTMS are already working together in order to adopt the EGNOS-GALILEO services for the evolution of the ERTMS platform. This strategic move is pushed by the market demand in the international scenario where the US-lead companies have already adopted the satellite technologies thanks to the transfer of technology from the satellite and defence sector. In Europe, most of the demand is expected from the modernization needs of the local and regional lines. The plan set by the rail sector is on-going through the recently awarded EC project NGTC (Next Generation Train Control) that includes a specific Task dealing with the GNSS application for the ERTMS. Furthermore the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking Initiative has been recently approved with about 900 M ( ) to develop new technologies to help modernise Europe s railways, while also reducing operational and infrastructure costs. Since GNSS can play an important role to achieve some of the Shift2Rail objectives about 20M of investments are being planned for the adoption of the satellite technology. These developments to be financed by the Shift2Rail partners do require a link with the plans for the evolution of EGNOS/Galileo to ensure the coherence of the ERTMS and EGNOS-Galileo roadmaps. The issue is to align the evolution of EGNOS and relevant products and applications with the envisaged ERTMS evolution programme (ERA has planned the satellite adoption by 2017 into the ERTMS MR2 milestone). There is an important and urgent need to set up a plan for upgrading EGNOS for meeting the ERTMS requirements taking advantage from the know-how already available of the aviation sector. This plan should be implemented in the forthcoming evolution of the EGNOS system (EGNOS V3) and involve the railways community. Page 9 of 18

10 To achieve this result, the EC has proposed a closer collaboration among the rail (ERA) and satellite stake-holders to help define the needs to be endorsed by the on-going EGNOS evolution plan. As first action, the EC will organize a meeting between ex-dg-move, ex-dg-entr, GSA, and ESA before the end of 2014, in order to establish the proper governance for a coordinated effort between the satellite and rail developments. A closer cooperation between GSA and ERA should be supported.

Rail 2.4 EUROPEAN GNSS OPPORTUNITIES IN MARITIME TRANSPORT See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Gard Ueland, President of Kongsberg Seatex and Chairman of Galileo Services, addressed the European GNSS opportunities in maritime transport. The utilisation of Galileo and EGNOS within enavigation and emaritime will bring the significant benefits, namely: Safety, robustness, resilient PNT; Efficiency, in particular in port area; Cost saving; Special requirements of sea routes. Authentication is a strong asset for Galileo open or commercial services. Mr Ueland highlighted the use case of Galileo time as primary or backup time in Automatic Identification Page 10 of 18

11 System (AIS) / VHF Data Exchange System (VDES) that is vulnerable to spoofing. The Maritime Service of EGNOS Version 3 would also be of great added value. Some application examples where European GNSS will bring a significant added value are mentioned: Galileo SAR return link, hydrographic services, container tracking, fast ferries, and autonomous ships. The standardisation need for multi-constellation receivers, which is a key enabler for the uptake of European GNSS services in maritime applications, is stressed. M.1 To support the adoption key European GNSS services in maritime transport, namely: Authentication service (Galileo open service or commercial service) and EGNOS maritime service (EGNOS V3) Maritime M.2 To continue to support the standardisation of multi-constellation receivers Maritime 2.5 SHIP ENERGY EFFICIENCY & SAFETY See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Arne Norum, Manager New Venture, Fugro Satellite Positioning AS made a presentation about the GNSS added value to improve Ship Energy Efficiency Management System (SEEMP) as well as safety of nearshore and inland waterways navigation. As far as the Ship Energy Efficiency Management System is concerned, the vessel performance can be enhanced by use of GNSS as motion sensor and steering. The trials performed indicate indeed: Saving in the range of 3-5% on dynamic trimming; Saving in the range of 4-6% on GNSS heading compared to conventional gyroscopes. The main barriers for the European GNSS downstream industry to entry into the related markets are: the user awareness, the need to perform more tests and demonstrations on performance, and the need to review IMO regulations that prevent to use new technologies. About the added value of GNSS in safety and integrity in nearshore and inland waterways, the accuracy available in GNSS Precise Point Positioning service (PPP) enables the vessel crew to be able to look forward and predict clearance above, below and sideways to an accuracy of 10 cm. The benefits are: The berthing aid will reduce damages to vessels, shore infrastructure and environment; The above mast and below keel clearance will avoid collisions with bridges; The use of bottom contour for enhanced navigation integrity and below keel clearance will reduce groundings. Page 11 of 18

12 The following activities are required to foster the uptake of European GNSS services in this specific market: The definition of standards for bottom height instead of water depth; The support for the development of the user application; The support for the continuous update of bottom data. M.3 M.4 To foster the use of GNSS to improve Ship Energy Efficiency Management System, through the following support activities: user awareness, performance tests and demonstrations, related IMO regulations review To foster the use of GNSS to improve safety and integrity in nearshore and inland waterways, through the following support activities: standard definition for bottom height, support for the user application development, support for the continuous update of bottom data. Maritime Maritime 2.6 GNSS IN TRANSPORT: A SYSTEM PROVIDER PERSPECTIVE See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Mr Lluis Pina, Director of Satellite Navigation Systems Department at Indra, provided the view of a system provider on the incorporation of GNSS in the different Transport & Traffic user communities. The customers have different considerations with respect to the usage of E-GNSS, but most of them concur in a number of areas which should be addressed to allow full exploitation of the European GNSS potentialities, namely: Integration: the customers demand the availability of the location-related business information anywhere at any time. Integration shall be improved at different levels: Technology: GNSS capabilities are maximized and fulfil new and more demanding user needs when used in conjunction with other positioning technologies and communication means. R&D activities shall be reinforced. Data sharing: Trans-national and cross-sectorial information exchange shall be promoted with particular attention to protect the rights of the data owners and the privacy of the final users. Regulatory framework: The availability of precise and reliable location information is seen increasingly as an enabler for a number of applications having liability requirements. However, the customers do not see them as business case up to the moment that a regulatory framework is established. Page 12 of 18

13 Awareness: Dissemination of the advantages and differentiators provided by the European navigation systems needs to be reinforced to customers and stakeholders, but also towards final users. Demonstrations in real use cases shall continue, as an effective tool to show to the decision-makers how E-GNSS can contribute to their business. An effort shall be also done to ensure users about their privacy and appeal them thanks to the added-value services derived from sharing this information. The European Commission took note of these recommendations, while showing surprise about the little knowledge of user community about European GNSS after many years of awareness. Except in aviation and for some other applications, like car navigation, fleet management or traffic management, this statement is definitely true. At the image of new technologies, new GNSS-based applications face a death valley in the course of their maturation. The user awareness is one of the key obstacles, e.g.: to persuade the end users to invest in the facilities, procedure development and training necessary to integrate a GNSS-based information service into their regular operations. T.1 T.2 T.3 T.4 T.5 To promote trans-national and cross-sectorial information exchange with particular attention to protect the rights of the data owners and the privacy of the final users To reinforce dissemination of the advantages and differentiators provided by the European navigation systems to customers, stakeholders and final users To continue demonstrations in real use cases, as an effective tool to show to the decision-makers how E-GNSS can contribute to their business To pursue awareness activities aiming at ensuring users about their privacy and appealing them thanks to the added-value services derived from sharing this information To establish adequate regulatory framework favouring to EU GNSS and Industry for liability critical applications.

14 2.7 KEY GNSS TECHNOLOGIES AND FEATURES FOR TRANSPORT See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 The main challenges of GNSS-based services at user level, in particular in the transport domain, for the forthcoming years are reliability, robustness, security, and high performance. Pascal Campagne, CEO of FDC, addressed the key GNSS related technologies and features that can bring significant benefits to applications in all transport domains, in particular: Multi-constellation multi-frequency receiver; multi-sensor receiver, hybridisation with other positioning sensors and ICTs; advanced integrity algorithms; advanced interference detection and robustness capabilities; improved resilience to jamming and spoofing Added-value of European GNSS services: compatibility and interoperability with GPS, improved performance, authentication, high precision, robustness & security Very specific examples of ITS applications where those key technologies and features bring a significant added value are provided, namely: digital tachograph, transport of dangerous goods, road tolling. Some R&D projects that are currently dealing with these issues, in particular: Both European projects, TACOT (Secure multi-application GNSS receiver) and FOSTER ITS (First Operational, Secured and Trusted galileo Receiver for ITS) And, the French project, GEOTRANSMD: Geo-located Transport of Dangerous Goods including cross border issues The last point of this session concerned the use of the European GNSS in road tolling. Galileo authentication feature is indeed a strong added value in this field. The European Commission should establish an adoption plan of EGNOS-Galileo into future Road Tolling. T.6 R.1 To pursue R&D effort aiming at improving GNSS performances, namely multiconstellation multi-frequency receiver; multi-sensor receiver; advanced integrity algorithms; advanced interference detection and robustness capabilities; improved resilience to jamming and spoofing To establish an adoption plan of European GNSS into key applications, such digital tachograph, road tolling, tracking and tracing of dangerous goods, V2X/autonomous vehicles Road Page 14 of 18

15 3 CONCLUSIONS AND WAY FORWARD 3.1 CONCLUSIONS See slides of GS presentation support Meeting with DG-MOVE_VF2 Gard Ueland, Chairman of Galileo Services, took the floor stating that some European GNSS opportunities in Transport were addressed today, but opportunities in other domains are still to be addressed (e.g. LBS, Timing and Synchronisation, Critical Infrastructures, Internet of Things, Special applications). He reminded the necessity of a comprehensive European SatNav downstream industry policy to ensure the European GNSS Programme Full Success. It is indeed crucial to enhance both the competitiveness of the European GNSS downstream sector in the worldwide market and the European GNSS market uptake. Furthermore, the European Institutions should support the creation of European champions in strategic domains (e.g. critical infrastructures, emerging domains with huge market potential, etc.). Gard advocated that all stakeholders of the European GNSS Programmes must organise themselves and combine their strengths to ensure benefits from EU GNSS in Europe. Mr Fotis Karamitsos acknowledged that, as the resources are limited, the EC should consider concentrating them on a few strategic areas in order to have a significant catalytic effect and to create European success stories.

16 3.2 WAY FORWARD The European Commission and Galileo Services made the decision to meet again once the new Commission is established. The Commission challenges the industry to come with more specific/concrete requests (e.g. list of actions) based on a detailed argumentation (e.g. figures, expected consequences). Such a meeting can be organised in select groups depending on the addressed topic. 3.3 LIST OF GS RECOMMENDATIONS The table below gathers together all recommendations that were expressed during this meeting.
