The COMP4DRONES project complements SESAR JU efforts with a particular focus on safe software and hardware drone architectures. COMP4DRONES will bear a holistically designed ecosystem ranging from application to electronic components, realized as a tightly integrated multi-vendor and compositional drone embedded architecture solution and a tool chain complementing the compositional architecture principles. The ecosystem aims at supporting (1) efficient customization and incremental assurance of drone embedded platforms, (2) safe autonomous decision making concerning individual or cooperative missions, (3) trustworthy drone-to-drone and drone-to-ground communications even in presence of malicious attackers and under the intrinsic platform constraints, and (4) agile and cost-effective compositional design and assurance of drone modules and systems. COMP4DRONES will also build an open sustainable ecosystem around public, royalty-free and goal-driven software platform standards that will ease the development of new drone functionalities for multiple application domains. Lead applications driving ecosystem development and benchmarking on the fields of transport, inspection, logistic, precision agriculture, parcel delivery.

GLAD-2 is aimed at the industrialization of an innovative product (GNSS low cost attitude determination and navigation system, reinforced magnetic immunity) and its commercialization plan. The innovative and technologically advanced prototype (TRL6), outcome of an FP7 project, (with proven feasibility through SME-INST-1 project) will be transformed into a TRL9 profitable product. It avails an identified business opportunity derived from the UAS/RPAS expansion and lack of precise and low cost attitude determination and navigation solutions. This will be done in parallel to the regulation harmonization in Europe, thus fostering this niche market, mainly in the civilian professional sector, for applications requiring low cost attitude and navigation determination, mainly in magnetic interference sensitive applications.

The goal of AUDITOR is the implementation of novel precise-positioning techniques based on augmentation data in custom GNSS receivers to improve the performance of current augmentation services and reducing costs. These techniques are already patented by the consortium and proven to offer better accuracy with faster convergence times than solutions commercially available. More sophisticated atmospheric models will be implemented to provide better corrections of ionospheric errors and further increase accuracy. All these advances will be integrated in a software demonstrator that will use public data from GNSS networks to generate these correction data streams. These new receivers will enable costeffective.

The ARMOURS proposal is committed to the development of novel technologies for the implementation of future multi-frequency PRS receivers, filling some of the technological gaps to enable affordable and robust solutions for future demanding applications relying on the continuous availability of the PRS service. Target segments are Low-End and Medium-End PRS receiver implementations, with the widest potential market in the PRS application domain. The developments that will be addressed in the frame of the project aim to give a tangible response to the problem of low-cost implementation of multi-frequency radio modules for professional applications.
The main objective of the LOGAM project is the design and development of an ultra low-cost attitude determination and navigation system based primarily on non dedicated mass market GNSS receivers and antennas and aided by MEMS inertial sensors. Accuracy at low cost is needed in various real-time applications such as vehicle tracking, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), etc… To open the way for its widespread use the embedded applications requires not only accurate position and attitude information, but also strictly real time abilities, such as system efficiency, reliability and feasibility as well as the size, consumption and cost. At the end of the project our aim is to produce a functional prototype capable of demonstrating the targeted system characteristics fitting with a great number of present and future applications.
The objective of this project is the investigation on amplification technologies for power transmitters.

This project addressed the design and development of a prototype of a novel Ka band bidirectional Fly-Away terminal. The prototype is a fully automatic pointing Ka band fly-away terminal, with excellent performance, compact design, flexible configuration upon user’s needs and robust design to work under hard environmental conditions. Design modularity allows the adaptation of different antenna sizes and SSPAs with different output powers. Its M&C module permits the user to monitor and control a full range of the terminal’s parameters, including those related to RF, pointing and motorization, and modem status.
The objective of the project is to investigate on tools for the analysis in real time of the behaviour of dynamic systems for energy generation.

nSHIELD is a project that will provide a roadmap to address Security, Privacy and Dependability (SPD) by developing new technologies and consolidating those already explored in pSHIELD. The state of the art in SPD of single technologies and solutions will be improved and integrated with an innovative, modular, composable, expandable and high-dependable architectural framework, concrete tools and common SPD metrics.

In WINE we study necessary technologies to build fully IP-based optimized QoS (Quality of service) aware wireless Internet. We believe that true wireless Internet system should be optimized without underlying wireless ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) and as far as possible independent from media. The unique goal of WINE is to study all needed issues in protocol layers to find globally optimized end-to-end solution. Starting from theoretical issues for W-IP networks, we conduct simulations and large case studies over research networks to verify theoretical basis. We will then implement the results into three platforms. The test-beds cover Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 and Hiperlan standards.
