Session 8. MUNICH FLASHLIGHTS - NEWS FROM BAVARIA

In this year’s Bavarian Flashlights session, we give the floor to our local GNSS research community. The local GNSS community is working on a diverse set of topics, from basic research of future navigation concepts to sensor fusion, from new antenna and receiver designs to bringing research results into application. The presentations from our invited speakers will focus on their research, how this research could turn into applications and their vision for the future of PNT. We conclude with a discussion session.

Session 9. IMPACT OF INTERFERENCE AND MONITORING FROM SPACE

Radio-frequency interference (RFI) in GNSS signal bands can pose a threat to modern human life and safety by degrading the performance of GNSS services for positioning, navigation, and timing. The L1 band, which is commonly used in many GNSSs for interoperability, has been well-protected by ITU regulations for the past 50 years. As a result, unintentional RFI sources are rarely observed, but due escalating drone and electronic warfare, this topic is unfortunately gaining importance for the safe management of air traffic. RFI monitoring is the initial step in localizing and eliminating RFI sources. Recently, a technique for monitoring RFI using spaceborne GNSS-R data to map ground-based RFI transmission on a global scale was reported to the scientific society.

Session 10. GALILEO NEW SERVICES AND DIFFERENTIATORS​

In addition to the Open Service (OS), Galileo already offers several services in support to specific user needs, as identified in various application domains, and will continue to introduce and evolve such services in the future. These special services support higher accuracy or improved robustness against interference, jamming or spoofing. This session provides an up-to-date overview of the introduction of the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS), the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) the Galileo Authentication Services for civil users, the Early Warning services and the maritime Safety of Life service.

Session 11. VIEWS FROM RECEIVER MANUFACTURERS

All future developments in satellite navigation like LEO-PNT, higher accuracy or authentication manifest themselves only after highly performant receiver solutions of small size and low power consumption are available for system integrators and users. This session will therefore feature a panel discussion of mass-market, professional and military receiver and service providers displaying their views on the most recent developments in the upstream sector.
