The European GNSS Programmes 4

Galileo services: expected to start in 2016

Open Service (OS) Freely accessible service for

positioning, navigation and timing

Public Regulated Service

(PRS)

Encrypted service designed for greater

robustness and higher availability

Search and Rescue

Service (SAR)

Assists locating people in distress and

confirms that help is on the way

Commercial Service (CS) Delivers authentication and high accuracy

services for commercial applications

Integrity Monitoring

Service

Provides vital integrity information

for life-critical applications

The former "Safety-of-Life" service is being re-profiled:


27 November, 2015 The European GNSS Programmes 5

EGNOS services are fully operational

Examples of uses

Open Service (OS) Accuracy ~1m, free Available since

October 2009

Safety of Life Service

(SoL)

Accuracy ~1m, compliant to

aviation standards

Available since

March 2011

EGNOS Data Access

Service (EDAS)

Accuracy <1m, corrections

provided by terrestrial networks

Available since

July 2012

Aviation - LPV procedures: 294

operational; 251 planned in 2016

Road: Slovak Republic will

introduce EGNOS into the GNSS

based road tolling system to

increase accuracy

Agriculture: in Europe 60%

of all tractors equipped with

GNSS use EGNOS





Conclusions



Promote use of SBAS, especially for air transport.

Enhance the business opportunities for technologies and application

industries (upstream and downstream).

Pursuing other EU policies (e.g. transport harmonisation,

cooperation, external relations).

EGNOS extensions – the drivers for EU



Aviation: use EGNOS to comply with ICAO requirements on PBN

Save on ILS investment

Increase safety

Open new routes

Improve operations efficiency

Use the SBAS technology in other transports & non-transport

domains.

Cooperate with EU on space matters.

EU and ENP South partners have been working together since 2006

EU – ENP South relationship

High Level Objective

Extend SoL service coverage to non-EU Mediterranean countries (N.

Africa/M.East), by leveraging the EGNOS core infrastructure.

The European GNSS Programmes

Implementation

Political: Commission’s Communication issued March 2011 (cooperation with

Southern Mediterranean countries), positions adopted by the Ministerial

Transport Conference of the Union for the Mediterranean in 2013/14, indicated

Satellite Navigation as area for cooperation, for its impact on transport

efficiency, safety (e.g. civil aviation) and regional cooperation (RTAP 2014-20).

Technical: Euromed GNSS I & II (METIS, MEDUSA, ESA): initial infrastructure,

technical demonstrations, CBA per country, service demo in aviation/logistics,

definition of regulatory framework for the long term and roadmap to provide

EGNOS SoL coverage (e.g. capex, timeline).

Key results of Euromed GNSS I & II

Implementing Objectives

Install 4 RIMS to extend SoL coverage

Support ENP South States to use EGNOS services


Strong interest from all ENP

South countries

Achievements

Two RIMS are operational, one is being installed, the fourth will be in 2016

Awareness raised, know-how transferred to institutional and industry players

Pre-operational tests in aviation and multimodal transport (6 countries vis-à-vis

2 planned)

Defined minimum regulatory framework and assessed compliance of each State

Clear plan for the adoption of EGNOS SoL



Extension of the coverage expected with a new RIMS in Oran (i.e. last

Euromed funded RIMS)

EGNOS SoL extension in the short run

5 more RIMS needed




EU legal constraints for EGNOS extensions…

"…Subject to technical and financial constraints and on the basis of international

agreements, the geographical coverage of the services provided by the EGNOS

system could be extended to other regions of the world, in particular to the territories

of candidate countries, of third countries associated with the Single European Sky

and of countries in the European Neighbourhood Policy…"

(12)

"… In view of the global nature of the systems, it is essential that the Union enter into

agreements with third countries and international organisations in the context of the

Galileo and EGNOS programmes under Article 218 TFEU, in particular to ensure their

smooth implementation, deal with certain questions relating to security and charging,

optimise the services provided to citizens of the Union and meet the needs of third

countries and international organisations…"

(42)

(Art. 2-c)

"… The geographical coverage of the EGNOS system may be extended to other

regions of the world, in particular to the territories of candidate countries, of third

countries associated with the Single European Sky and of countries in the European

Neighbourhood Policy, subject to technical feasibility and on the basis of international

agreements. The cost of such extension, including the related exploitation costs, shall

not be covered by the resources referred to in Article 9. Such extension shall not

delay the extension of the geographical coverage of the EGNOS system throughout

the Member States' territories geographically located in Europe…"

GNSS Regulation (1285/2013)



• Directorate General GROW (responsible for EGNOS) is interacting

with Directorate General NEAR to screen funding possibilities.

…solutions to deal with such constraints

• ENP South States' formal expression of interest is key.

• International Agreement discussions can start anyway, following

formal expression of interest from your Government.

Conclusions



Euromed GNSS WG 2014 conclusions

CONCLUSION of the 7th Euromed GNSS Working Group, 15/10/2014

1) Encouraged the European Commission to establish the infrastructure needs

for the extension of EGNOS safety of life signal in the region according to the

given priorities (MEDUSA Jan 2014);

2) Agreed that the Commission will share with ENI South countries the

regulatory analysis underlying the future horizontal international

agreement and EWA for non-EU countries;

3) Encouraged the ENI South countries that have not yet done so to formally

express their interest in participating in the EGNOS programme (i.e. entering

a horizontal international (regional) agreement);

4) Proposed the continued holding of joint meetings between the aviation and

the GNSS working groups;

5) Encouraged to continue to integrate the GNSS activities in all other

transport domains (RTAP 2014-2020).

6) Asked the European Commission to continue exploring the possibility that

AUGUR web tool for GNSS-RAIM prediction is extended in a way to cover

also ENI South countries airspaces.

EGNOS extension is a win-win occasion Non-EU countries get a technology leveraging existing

public investments

EU opens up new venues of technical cooperation, business and long term partnerships

EC is leading this effort, but all States from ENP South

region are key contributors
