Major Space Projects & References
Project: GNSS vulnerability & mitigation in the Czech Republic – ESA NAVISP project to support Czech Republic’s activities towards safe and robust GNSS utilisation for critical infrastructure operators and state and governmental institutions. Real-time on-field testing campaigns understand impact of the GNSS RFI.
Project: GNSS RFI detection at highways – develop a static GNSS RFI detection system to be used at tolling gantries complemented with hand-held detectors for a police.
Project: Implementation of PinS procedures and Low level routes in Czech airspace – utilise a functional way for broad implementation of PinS and LLR in Czech aviation.
Project: TrainLOC – creating conditions for the implementation of GNSS on a railway network for GNSS based signalling systems and safe localisation of trains
