Exploitable results Multi-Modal Approach for GNSS 1 in European Transport A and B; MAGNET A and B The objective of the MAGNET A project is to develop GNSS 1 (Global Navigation Satellite System) user segment prototypes and to assess their performance in terms of availability, accuracy, integrity and continuity of service. The assessment is to be done through field trials involving civil, land, maritime and aviation users. The project will be co-ordinated by Dassault Electronique, which is in charge of the user segments. Daimler Benz Aerospace, Alcatel Espace and Racal will take active roles in the project as demonstration leader, GNSS 1 test-bed co-ordinator, and partner responsible for the SKYFIX upgrades. The overall MAGNET A project is composed of two steps (I and II). In Step I, the project will start with a first phase intended to update the user requirements and the qualification and operational constraints that would apply to GNSS 1 users devices, leading to the definition of the validation plan. The second phase in Step I will consist of the development of GNSS 1 user segments and the set-up of a laboratory test-bed designed to simulate GNSS-1 like signals. This test-bed will then be used to verify the behaviour of the user equipment. The third phase of the project, in Step II, will evaluate the performance of GNSS 1 in field trials. Since at the time of the trials the EGNOS infrastructure will be limited to the ranging capability, the project team proposes to upgrade the SKYFIX network with real-time wide area differential and integrity monitoring algorithms. The experiments performed with the users will then constitute a good validation of the user segments. Civil aviation experiments will be conducted on a Lufthansa Airbus to demonstrate en-route to Cat I performances. In addition, experiments will be performed on railway network management and maritime navigation in coastal waters. Searching for OpenAIRE data...
