SKYOPENER will enable the use of RPAS for civilian applications by
contributing to the roadmap for the integration of civil RPAS into non-
segregated airspace
In this context, the use EGNOS and GALILEO is a major opportunity to
provide enhanced navigation services in terms of integrity and
positioning accuracy.
SKYOPENER will develop a system and operational processes that
will reduce all categories of risks associated with RPAS and allow an
ANSP (Air Navigation Service Provider) to manage Very Low Level (VLL)
RPAS operations.
The project will also demonstrate two innovative applications: e-
TOD (electronic-Terrain Obstacle Database) and Surveillance of
critical infrastructure that benefit also from EGNSS (European Global
Navigation Satellite System) for measurement geolocation and
datation (time synchronization) and that represent major business
opportunities.

• Start Date: 01/01/2016
• End Date: 28/02/2018
• Project officer: Vojtech Fort
• Coordinator: ORBITAL SISTEMAS
AEROESPACIALES SL
MOBNET will design a Search and Rescue (SAR) system for the location of
isolated victims in the case of natural or man-made disasters such as
earthquakes, hurricanes or large snow storms. It will also help first responder
services to find fugitives or smugglers hidden within buildings.
The use of European Global Navigation Satellite (EGNSS) systems (both Galileo
early services and EGNOS) and Digital Cellular Technologies (DCT) will play the
key role in these situations in which it is difficult, dangerous or even impossible
to access the affected areas.
An effective and reliable communication link between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) and the ground station will be designed. This data link will ensure
uninterrupted command and control communication among devices and the
integrity of communication signals. Thus, the UAVs will always operate as
intended.
Research will be driven by the end-user and industrial partners to ensure that it
addresses the needs of the PPDR services.
The developed SAR system will take advantage of the Galileo and EGNOS
capabilities and will strengthen the position of European Industry in the field of
security services. It will greatly facilitate their missions and the rescue of isolated
victims.

Recent drama in civil aviation leading to losses of several aircrafts have shown
an incapacity of quickly dispatching rescue means for potential survivals, and a
surprising incapacity of determining the position of the aircrafts wreck,
generating major researches expenses.
GRICAS proposes to develop a safety concept based on an innovative use of
Galileo SAR service for a maximum rescue effectiveness. It includes the
development of NG Beacons, innovative MEOLUT that optimizes the position
accuracy even for high dynamic beacons, a new RLS employment concept,
and associated In-flight beacon activations triggers when detecting abnormal
flight situations.
Based on key regulation S&R players within the consortium (CNES, BEA,
DGAC), GRICAS is a unique opportunity to bring to the fore one of the
essential Galileo differentiator compared to other GNSS, decisively
contributing to the aviation safety.
With the innovations developed in GRICAS, Galileo will get a recognized
service differentiator for the European Citizen Safety in aircrafts.

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.
These new receivers will enable cost-effective precision agriculture services to
farmers, especially those with small and medium-sized businesses in areas of
Europe.
The form factor and capabilities of the resulting receiver will be comparable to
those of existing professional receivers in the market, while retaining all the

as novelty in the RPAS domain is the key driver for the EASY PV turnkey
solution.
EASY PV solution is conceived to build up an automatic system for acquiring,
georeferencing and processing both visible and thermal images captured
by an RPAS equipped with a Galileo/EGNOS high accuracy receiver, flying
over a photovoltaic field. In this way it is possible to easily (i.e. automatically,
with safety improvement for operators and saving time) detect the defective
