Galileo EGNOS Status GNSS Regional Plan Workshop July

Galileo / EGNOS Status GNSS Regional Plan Workshop July 12 th 2007 - Casablanca Morocco Dr. Cedric Seynat Technical Department European GNSS Supervisory Authority 1

Introducing the European GNSS Supervisory Authority (GSA) The core mission of the GSA • To manage the public interests related to and to be the regulatory authority for the European GNSS programmes EGNOS & GALILEO • Be the licensing authority vis-à-vis the future concession holder responsible for managing the Galileo deployment phase and the Galileo and EGNOS operation phase • Be responsible for matters related to the right to use the frequencies necessary for the operation of the systems, the certification of their components, and their safety and security • To carry out all research of benefit to the development and promotion of the European GNSS programmes (6 th and 7 th Framework Programmes) • Be the owner of all tangible and intangible assets created or developed under the Galileo and EGNOS programmes 2

Example: Global Improvement Horizontal Accuracy Combined use of GNSS systems will enhance performance 5

International Activities International co-operation is fundamental to Galileo 6

Galileo Research and Development GSA’s mission in support for the system and its utilisation Generic European Research Objectives • Development of safer, greener and smarter pan-EU transport systems • Strengthen research co-ordination • Facilitate international Science and Technology cooperation • Reinforce the role of SMEs Specific GNSS Research Objectives • Complement the development of the Galileo infrastructure • Setting the conditions for the widespread utilisation of GNSS • Ensuring users in different sectors ready for the use of Galileo and EGNOS • Make the European GNSS industry competitive in the worldwide scenario 7

The 6 th Framework Programme Setting the foundations for the future use of GNSS • Addressing all user sectors • Developing technology in mass-market and professional terminals • Demonstrating technical feasibility with the early use of EGNOS services • Supporting all enabling factors • Consolidating the Galileo mission and interfaces € 110 millions of co-funding, for an overall budget of around € 170 millions 77 projects are run under the management of the GSA More than 300 companies are participating to the projects Involvement of space industry, research centres, universities & SMEs Covering equipment manufacturing, service provision, and utilisation of GNSS 8

The 7 th Framework Programme The key enabler for securing the competitiveness of Galileo • Capitalize the precedent research programmes in order to fill gaps towards the strategic objectives • Pursue creation of value for stakeholders. • Correctly position the research activities in the innovation chain • Preparation of system evolution / modernization • Support to the development of applications of wide public interest • Getting the market ready for service exploitation • Indicative budget: 350 MEuro (2007 -2013) ~ 50 MEuro / year • 1 st Call for 7 FP will be launched by 3 Q/07. 9

The June 2007 EU Transport Council Re-profiling the Galileo Programme The June 7 th Council: • Took note of the status of the negotiations on the Galileo concession • Concluded that the negotiations have failed and should be ended • Invited the Commission to continue with the implementation of EGNOS • • Reaffirmed the value of Galileo as a key project • Requested detailed alternative proposals to the Commission • Intends to take a decision on the implementation, including the public financing, in early autumn 2007 Recognised that the implementation of Galileo by the public sector needs additional funding 10

EGNOS achievements • Ongoing contracts for: • Production of a certifiable EGNOS release (v 2. 2) • Operation stabilisation and Operator Qualification • Certification preparation • Performance well stabilised in the last months • APV-1 availability performance over Europe • Ongoing activities to improve continuity, integrity events • Extension of coverage on-going 11

Towards an operational EGNOS 13

EGNOS Extensions Making tangible outcomes from international cooperation on GNSS Extension of EGNOS to Africa Mediterranean Area (MEDA) European Processing Area ü Implementation of EGNOS network extension is on-going (2007 -2008) Extension of EGNOS to Middle East (ACAC) Africa Mediterranean Area Extension Middle. East Extension ü Preliminary definition phase launched early 2007 14

EGNOS extensions in the Mediterranean regions • MEDA: ü RIMS A deployment and integration (2007 -08): • Agadir • Tel Aviv • Tamanrasset • Abu Simbel ü RIMS B: procurement under preparation (2008) • ACAC: ü Technical assessment on-going (GSA contract) ü System architecture trade-off (“homogeneous” vs “heterogeneous”) • Additional RIMS under consideration: Greece, Canaries 15

EGNOS service introduction • Euro. Med-GNSS I agreement: METIS • Euro. Med-GNSS II agreement ü General objective: achieving the introduction of operational services in the region for the benefit of all transport domains ü Specific objectives: • Procurement of RIMS B • Downstream application development • Development of service enablers • Regulatory framework • Period: 2007 - 2009 16

Conclusion EGNOS and Galileo are international programmes • The success of Galileo will largely depend on the market penetration in a wide range of GNSS applications and services, inside and outside Europe • International collaboration is Key to this success • METIS is one important element of this objective: • Fostering collaboration between European and MEDA partners • Providing a concrete ground for exchange of knowledge and ideas on the introduction of Galileo/EGNOS service enablers • The METIS workshops are essential to the success of METIS • The GSA will • ensure the enablers for the system adoption, i. e. certification, standardization and licensing of IPRs, • foster the international dimension of the Galileo programme, • Aim at an early introduction of EGNOS operations as an important precursor function to Galileo • The GSA is committed to the extension of EGNOS services in the MEDA region 17
