The EDG²E Project
The EDG²E project intends to prototype the next generation of gnss receivers which will provide better and safer positioning. EDG²E is an EU funded project supported by a consortium of major European players in aerospace.
Better Accuracy
Galileo satellites by design and new GPS satellites provide GNSS signals on two frequencies, which allow for correction of the ionospheric propagation error in the SBAS DFMC receiver. This compensation at the receiver level provides a better accuracy than existing single frequency GPS receivers.
Better Availability
In challenging satellite masking conditions there will be twice as many satellites in view to compute the position. It will greatly enhance the availability of positioning performance.
Better Integrity
Galileo and GPS constellations have been designed by completely segregated teams and provide the service through distinct satellites and ground control stations. It is then possible to exploit this duality and enhance the integrity performances.
