26 September, 2013 Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 8 Galileo implementation plan In-Orbit Validation 4 fully operational satellites and ground segment Initial Operational Capability Early services for OS, SAR, PRS and demonstrator for CS 2013 Full Operational Capability Full services, 30 satellites 2020 2014 GIOVE A/B 2 test satellites 2005/2008 Galileo System Testbed v1 Validation of critical algorithms 2003
Galileo services Early services for OS,SAR and PRS will be provided from 2014 Open Service (OS) Freely accessible service for positioning, navigation, and timing Public Regulated Service (PRS) Encrypted service designed for greater robustness and higher availability Search and Rescue Service (SAR) Assists locating people in distress and confirms that help is on the way Commercial Service (CS) Delivers authentication and high accuracy services for commercial applications The former "Safety-of-Life" service is being re-profiled: Integrity Monitoring Service Provides vital integrity information for life-critical applications 26 September, 2013 Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 9

Overview of Galileo & EGNOS EGNOS status summary All EGNOS services are in use, system infrastructure evolves Open Signal: operational since October 2009 Safety-of-Life: certified for use in civil aviation since March 2011 EDAS: operational since July 2012 Infrastructure evolution (by ESA): Procurement of additional system activities (V2.4.2, RIMS) is on-going Two independent studies for EGNOS V3 Service Provision: A new service provider has been selected for 2014-20

Galileo & EGNOS future funding (2014 2020) The European Union is preparing the framework for operational European GNSS Programmes for the long term Requires the securing of funding to cover needs in all major areas completion of infrastructure research, development and evolution delivery of services exploitation of both Galileo and EGNOS The proposed budget for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (2014-2020) requests: Around 0.9 billion per year maximum ceiling to cover all EGNSS needs ( 6.3 bn) 26 September, 2013 Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 18
26 September, 2013 Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 19 Status of Galileo & EGNOS: infrastructure and services Euromed GNSS
Overview of Galileo & EGNOS EGNOS and Euromed GNSS programmes EGNOS development in the Mediterranean branches out into three activities 1) Installations of EGNOS ground stations (RIMS) to improve the coverage of southern EU countries 2) Installations of EGNOS RIMS to improve the coverage of ENPI South countries 3) Implementing actions aimed at preparing the ENPI South countries towards the introduction and exploitation of EGNOS, also in the perspective of Galileo in civil aviation and other transport and non-transport domains 1) RIMS have been installed in Nouachkott (Mauritania), Djerba (Tunisia), Alexandria (Egypt), Golbasi (Turkey), funded by the EU GNSS budget. They function well, though sometimes we experience logistical problems 2-3) Performed with a financial envelope of 9M to develop EGNOS coverage and use in 10 countries, via two programmes: Euromed GNSS I (2006-09) 4.5M: 2M to deploy 4 RIMS stations, 2.5M to METIS Euromed GNSS II (2012-14) 4.5M: 1.6M to ESA, 2.1M to MEDUSA
Overview of Galileo & EGNOS EGNOS and Euromed GNSS programmes: issues Progresses Awareness and know-how transfer to Civil Aviation entities and Ministries of Transport (e.g. real life demonstrations, CBA assessment) Partial improvement of geographical coverage in Mediterranean Need to improve EGNOS OS/SoL coverage of the whole area (no signal, no use possible) Long term perspective (funding of capex, opex, governance) Opportunities Regional cooperation (i.e. coverage ensured by network of RIMS) GEMCO as catalyst for future projects (e.g. R&D)
EGNOS: how will SoL coverage expand in the short-term? Baseline + Ouargla Baseline + Haifa Baseline + Ouargla (comparison with Tamanrasset) Full SoL coverage of the ENPI South region remains a key roadblock towards actual EGNOS service provision/adoption Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 22
26 September, 2013 Overview of Galileo & EGNOS 23 EGNOS SoL coverage: two options To cover expenditures of 4-5 EGNOS RIMS to be located in North African/Middle East countries EU funding DG DEVCO EU GNSS Regulation restricts use of GNSS budget Countries funding Need to enter into a bilateral International Agreement first Difficult to arrange regional cooperation
