Introduction
Inputs presented at a meeting with EC-GROW on 22nd February 2016
Aim of the meeting : Provision of food for thought on a few GNSS applications per main segment to support the definition of a strategy
Selection of a few GNSS/PNT applications per main segment, as
examples to support the definition of a strategy
~1-month brainstorming process, ~15 experts involved
Results presented to be seen as samples of expert opinions
Recommendations not intended to be exhaustive
Many applications/segments are not addressed, and it is crucial to leave
room for those applications as well as for totally new ideas
Segment addressed : RPAS/UAV

RPAS Market Overview
RPAS growth projection recently validated by FAA projects that 30,000 RPAS(1) could be in the Nation’s skies by 2020 with more than 2000 operators for border surveillance, public-safety and emergency-management missions, support disaster relief operations,…. so what we call hereafter professional use
So a RPAS fleet size similar to the current world wide Commercial Air Transport fleet size together with many more new operators
(1) RPAS Max Take-Off Weight > 15KG

RPAS / UAV
Navigation solution for Professional RPAS (15-50KG) (1/4)
Provide on-board high integrity navigation solution as low SWAP (Size Weight and Power consumption) for all Light RPAS
Pros & Cons
Mandatory to get sufficient performance & integrity level to enable the
development of the use of professional RPAS and in particular of larger
ones
Mandatory to obtain insurance for RPAS professional use
No other technology than the use of GNSS based navigation

RPAS / UAV
Navigation solution for Professional RPAS (2/4)
Galileo/EGNOS added value : DFMC SBAS receivers will greatly improve efficiency of the operation due to very
low altitude of drone operations.
EGNOS augmentation is mandatory to provide the integrity and accuracy
protection radius limit
The navigation solution can contribute to drone traffic regulation and protection
(geofencing,...) to relevant authorities.
Low SWAP navigation solution to be proposed by avionics actors is a key
enabler for the development of the European RPAS market
Relevant E-GNSS services : OS and EGNOS SoL

RPAS / UAV
Navigation solution for Professional RPAS (3/4)
Action 1 : Research & Development – Short-term Support to Research & Development for a RPAS solution architecture requested
asap by market: time line 2-3 years
Navigation solution architecture associated with MEMS IMU, RPAS is identified as
the first platform for using DFMC aviation receivers
Action 2 : Standardization & Certification – Short-term DFMC standardization and certification rules for RPAS is mandatory to enable
authorization of use without the today limitations
European Common approach is preferable in order to avoid erratic or non
homogeneous development solutions that will slow the RPAS use,
Timeline is about 2 years

RPAS / UAV
Navigation solution for Professional RPAS (4/4)
Action 3 : Partnership for 2016/2018 To validate regulation of use between DSNA – User group – Drone solution
providers – Avionics solution designers and European EGNSS Equipment
manufacturers (which are today very small compared to US GPS ones)
Expected impact / Benefit for Europe 1-Boost professional RPAS growth by allowing large utilization
2-Reuse for General Aviation market including light helicopters
3-Possible trigger of a long term breakthrough for commercial aviation
4-Enable European RPAS drone industry development and competitiveness
Quick win project and/or Spectacular case: Need a development phase for 3 years with first interested Customers in energy,
police, health or railway surveillance domains

RPAS / UAV
RPAS Landing and Taxiing (1/3)
Pros & Cons
Close to the ground spoofing and jamming effects are detrimental to the
landing equipment
PRS in remote mode is a solution
Galileo/EGNOS added value :
Remote PRS is the best solution to improve security of use for landing
and taxiing phases. Remote solutions are possible only with Galileo and
not with GPS
Alert for lost EGNOS SoL against interferences (spoofing, jamming)

RPAS Landing and Taxiing (2/3)
Relevant E-GNSS services : EGNOS SoL or PRS (remote mode)
Action 1 : Demonstrator
Fund demonstrator since technology is already available, one year
development duration after PRS SIS available
Action 2 : Promotion & Awareness
Promotion & Awareness plan toward RPAS solution providers
Action to be performed in parallel to the action 1 (6 months)

RPAS / UAV
RPAS Landing and Taxiing (3/3)
Expected impact / Benefit for Europe
Will represent a highly competitive advantage by comparison to US
solutions, including for European RPAS providers
Will contribute to sales growth of Galileo receivers
Quick win project and/or Spectacular case:
Organisation of a living showcase as soon as the demonstrator is ready
Lost of drone control by jamming situation and the same scenario with
alert or securing solutions

RPAS / UAV
RPAS for High Precision Mapping and Land Administration (1/4)
Pros & Cons
GPS RTK is widely used in Decametric accuracy market. The biggest
problem is that to receive these corrections a reliable mobile data link is
needed. This needs modem on-board RPAS, meaning extra power,
weight and an additional certification burden. Additionally, reliable
mobile data is not available everywhere, especially not in remote areas.
Therefore using Galileo SIS to transmit PPP corrections would greatly
improve the usability.

Single Frequency RTK in the short term; PPP and Multiple Frequency
RTK for the long-term
Action 1 : User Forum – Short-term
Develop a UAV User Forum for Surveying and Mapping, involving the
FIG (International Federation of Surveyors)

Participation to UAV Conferences, with a shared event among the
countries with a surveying and mapping activity performed in parallel in
each country and controlled and shown on a big screen at the
Conference site; a remotely controlled swarm of UAVs in each nation
from the Conference Control Centre could be amazing
