Galileo has key potential to offer best-in-class positioning and timing information with some key differentiators An infrastructure of this key importance will generate European champions!
Fast progresses After 20 years as the Galileo system design authority, ESA has handed the turnkey system to GSA ESA developed key technologies and validated the system in-orbit under its GalileoSat Programme ESA was entrusted with the procurement, deployment and operations of the full operational capability system and responsible for initial services provision until June 2017 After successful Infrastructure Operations Hand-Over Review (IOHR), ESA handed over to GSA for routine operations Performance and launch cadence convinced chipset and equipment manufacturers to rely on Galileo Performance of the system largely exceeds the minimum required initial services Key Performance Indicators Steady plans for deployment of ground segment improvements and resilience Next quadruple Ariane 5 launches planned mid 2018 Galileo has finally reached the mass market of location based services (LBS) and will be blooming in all fields of GNSS open service and commercial applications The majority of high end smartphones are now equipped with Galileo-enabled chipsets. With iphone 8, 8 Plus and 10/X Apple joined Samsung, Sony, Huawei, BQ and other smartphone manufacturers Leading automotive chip producers (ST Micro, u-blox) have embarked on the Galileo train Ongoing discussions on international scale for leveraging Galileo in ADAS and self driving car evolution By 2020, around 8 billion GNSS users: this is the potential of GNSS!
What is coming: E-call regulation mandating all new cars to be equipped with Galileo-enabled devices as from April 18. Dual frequency chips for mass-market devices High Accuracy Service Smarter APPs using Raw Measurements Authentication Services Several Timing & Synchronisation Services
NAVISP, our new programme in Navigation is designed to foster innovation & competitiveness of European industry To leverage these upcoming opportunities, European GNSS industry will need to: Develop cutting-edge technologies & effective products & services Maintain & increase competitiveness of the manufacturing sector to keep it competitive w.r.t. existing and emerging non-eu solutions Improve industrial innovation and competitiveness at all industrial levels and all industrial sizes, and driving growth and jobs Flexibility for MS to target investments to support national objectives, under MS control Enables ESA MS to invest in developing industrial capacity, e.g. qualify new entrants for the market Uses best practice in terms of responsiveness and fast contracting procedures; Designed to avoid any duplication with work funded by the EU under H2020 or Fundamental Elements Open for non-space industry to capture the full spectrum of PNT innovation and commercialisation

Preliminary Fast Track How to attract PNT actors: setting up of a road show Work to increase Plan NAVISP outreach (1/2) This road show has the goal to find new champions for the NAVISP programme; Exploiting the already existing contacts triggered via the key strategic assets such as the AP platforms deployed; Leverage on examples of past activities to demonstrate NAVISP attractiveness in new stakeholders domains; Relevant national delegations should be encouraged to take the lead and coordination role to have the road show in place.
Preliminary How to attract Fast PNT Track actors: setting up of a road show to increase NAVISP outreach (2/2) Work Plan Conduct one-on-one sessions with key potential industry players in all potential markets in each NAVISP MSs; Three outputs: Subjective but realistic assessment of likely investment in their product portfolio; Development of a core group of players to become new champions in NAVISP; Understanding of the terms under which key players will participate. ESA and the national delegations will jointly take the driving seat, providing materials, programmatic contacts and technical elements and ad hoc logistic support (venues); Potential suitable industrial contacts will be found according to the available set of player collected so far.
The NAVISP Portal A web portal serves as a gateway to the NAVISP programme. The goals of this portal is: - Serve as a notice board for NAVISP calls, ITTs, news stories, events, workshops - Repository of documentation and information / education tool for user - Promotional tool for NAVISP activities (workplan, feasibility studies, etc.) - Repository of documentation and information / education tool for users - Promotional tool for NAVISP activities (workplan, Element 1 studies, demo projects, etc.) - A central single entry point (of contact) for all NAVISP https://navisp.esa.int 1 6
The NAVISP programme is off to a great start Several NAVISP activities very much linked to the broader PNT sector; NAVISP Element 1 2017 & 2018 workplans already defined and on the way of being implemented (22 activities approved and half of them de facto contractually incubated), 2018 Addendum on ist way; Element 2 activities have been incubated at a very fast pace together with several MSs and key European PNT stakeholders (39% of the total available funds are de facto already committed); New MSs subscriptions to NAVISP are already materialising.

NAVISP Element 2/ Drivers (1/2) Actors Companies from different economic sectors/«new comers» to ESA Companies of different size Space companies addressing the non space new PNT application market Product and activities Products along all the value chain of satellite navigation and in the wider PNT sector Activities resulting in pre-commercial products Products will be typically linked to GNSS services enhancement (authentication, interference monitoring), receivers (robustness, resilience, multisystem), end users applications (space/air, land and sea) Environment Protecting business innovation (IP rules, deliverables ownership) Facilitating partnering intra sectors (ICT, transport, energy) Entering new markets
- NAVISP Element 2/ Drivers (2/2) Role of ESA Element 2 is a «co-funding ESA action», not a traditional ESA procurement action. ESA acts as a facilitator to industry competitiveness and innovation; The overall process shall be beneficial to the Tenderers (Fast lean agile process (aiming at 30 pages proposal, 20 days for its preparation), «user friendly» documentation for new comers, minimisation of contractual overhead by reducing documentation and reporting, number of physical meetings, quantity of paper, number of travels); Transversal technical management (TO pulled from D-NAV and D-TEC) and Simplified TEB (only TO and CO according to the thresholds). Coordination: IAG-SA, EC and GSA
NAVISP Element 2/Status (1/2) 29 Outline Proposals have been submitted since the Call for Proposals was issued on EMITS (April 2017). 28 Outline proposals with positive assessment of ESA and green light by relevant Delegation for a total of 15.86 M, out of which 10 committed 5 under procurement 9 Full Proposals requested to Economic Operator 4 waiting for Delegations support 39% of the available funds are in the pipeline after one year!
