In a major milestone for the DEGREE mission, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía, a number one Spanish firm specializing in steerage, navigation, and management programs for RPAS/UAS, has efficiently performed flight exams to validate the efficiency of the EGNSS receiver developed below the mission, funded by EUSPA and led by Qascom in collaboration with UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía, Acorde and EuroUSC.
On account of the growing demand for business purposes for UAS and to harmonize the U-Area, expertise growth and European Union investments in GNSS receivers, we at the moment are specializing in the necessities associated to the particular class of UAS operations when it comes to the safety and security of the navigation subsystems. Based mostly on this example, the DEGREE mission helps this technique and is concentrated on the event of a cutting-edge Galileo dual-frequency GNSS receiver meant to attain optimum efficiency and benefit from the EGNSS. This enables the leverage of a number of differentiators to securely combine UAS into non-segregated airspace and the U-Area.
The profitable flight exams performed by UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía validated the DEGREE receiver’s efficiency for a related state of affairs. As GNSS-based navigation turns into more and more essential in our day by day lives, resilient-based navigation utilizing state-of-the-art anti-jamming and anti-spoofing algorithms, together with the mixing of Open Service E1 OSNMA, has undergone in depth testing, together with flight exams to evaluate the system’s effectiveness in opposition to potential GNSS threats.
Sergi Dueñas Pedrosa, DEGREE Undertaking Supervisor from Qascom, outlined the rigorous testing method, stating, “An enormous effort has been exerted by every member of the consortium to make these flight exams occur. The DEGREE receiver is a step nearer to turning into a product due to this in depth and rigorous check marketing campaign, demonstrating the efficiency of the applied sciences developed in a significant state of affairs. When a product is being developed, it’s regular to make use of simulators to evaluate efficiency. Nonetheless, it is just when transitioning to real-world situations that you simply understand how far or how shut you’re to delivering a product to handle real issues. On this regard, UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía has been essential and a very good companion to collaborate with”.
The European consortium’s overarching purpose is to reinforce the capabilities of Galileo for customers globally, addressing the important reliance on navigation knowledge for varied operations. UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía continues to be on the forefront of growing modern expertise, taking part in a pivotal position in creating a greater, extra environment friendly, safer, and extra sustainable world by means of its dedication to advancing GNSS applied sciences.
The DEGREE mission is funded by the European Union/EUSPA (below the grant GSA/GRANT/07/2019 “Growth of a drone-borne double frequency Galileo receiver”). The content material of this publication solely displays the writer’s view, and EUSPA is just not accountable for any use which may be product of the knowledge it incorporates. The DEGREE consortium includes Qascom (because the prime contractor), UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía, Acorde and EuroUSC (as subcontractors).
