The objective of the activity is to explore new concepts and technologies for the system internal data dissemination (Ground-to-Space and Space-to-Space) in multi-layer satellite navigation systems, with potential applic…
ation to the future of Galileo. The new solutions shall explore alternative equipment/payload architectures with multi-link capabilities and aim at the integration of the so-called PNT backhaul functions (mission data transportation, satellite control & monitoring data transportation, and ranging) i
n a single equipment/technology. The activity includes prototyping of the most technologically critical building blocks. This activity belongs to Galileo/EGNOS Upstream R&D which is part of the space component of Horizon Europe, under which
