Galileo Expands and Modernizes Global PNT
Posted: Tue Dec 29, 2020 3:12 pm
Throughout 2020, the Galileo Program has been delivering continuous and reliable global PNT and Search and Rescue (SAR) services.
In addition to providing a high quality open service based on innovative signals in the E1 and E5 bands, Galileo is also the first GNSS constellation to comprise a SAR capability, including the provision of a return link to users in distress.
Galileo also features unique capabilities, such as the provision of Navigation Message Authentication (OS-NMA) and of an encrypted navigation signal on E6, the Commercial Authentication Service (CAS). These functions will offer the first protection against spoofing available to civilian GNSS users.
Finally, Galileo will provide free access to a High Accuracy Service (HAS) through the use of an open data channel used to broadcast high-accuracy augmentation messages.
The Galileo Program is fully engaged in the process of developing Galileo 2nd Generation (G2G). The design of G2G is driven by overarching principles, including backward compatibility, providing an extended portfolio of services and the quality of services.
