The European Global Navigation Satellite Systems Agency (GSA) will award a special prize at ERL Emergency 2019 focusing on robots that make use of solutions based on Galileo and EGNOS. For air robots, this challenge will involve two types of tasks: horizontal accuracy in landings at a specific geographic coordinate; and vertical accuracy while hovering at a specific geographic coordinate. For land robots, there will be only one type of task - horizontal accuracy during waypoint-based navigation. Visual markers will be used to support the assessment of both types of task. To be eligible for the award, a team must have executed valid trials of the tasks. The team deemed to have achieved the best results will be declared the winner.

The global GNSS installed base will reach 8bln
devices in 2020, meaning more opportunities…
…especially for innovative added-value services
providers, opening the door to SMEs and start-ups
Added-value services
are set to witness
skyrocketing growth
of 20% annually*

 Road tolling: EGNOS already implemented in 4 EU schemes
 Regulated applications: eCall and Digital Tachograph
regulations leveraging EGNSS
EGNOS leadership with 80% of farmers using GNSS,
thanks to partnerships with tractor manufacturers
actively promoting EGNOS affordable accuracy
557 EGNOS based approach procedures in
301 airports in 19 EU countries
GNSS technology has been included in the European Railway
Traffic Management System roadmap in view of its expected
operational and safety benefits
 Galileo recognized by the IMO as a “World Wide Radio
Navigation System” for the use in regulated domains
 80% EGNOS OS penetration in receivers’ models

12. Drones market is BOOMING and GNSS is
KET for drones operations!
12
The following definitions are adopted:
• Professional – drones used solely for commercial applications and which invariably are better equipped. These are always assumed to be GNSS equipped.
• Prosumer – drones which may be used for commercial applications but are also affordable for some recreational use.
• Consumer – drones used primarily for recreational use.

13. More and more Galileo enabled receivers
are available for drones
