A Contribution to the Development of Satellite Navigation

Gtr is the Italian Permanent Laboratory and Centre of Excellence in Satellite Navigation. Gtr main objectives are to support:

the exploitation of knowledge and expertise in the Satellite Navigation domain (R&D, Universities, SME, Industries),

the validation of Galileo signal and of GNSS terminals and applications,

the innovation in GNSS products, application and services market,

the regulation and standardisation processes of Galileo products and applications in Italy and in Europe,

European and international cooperation in GNSS for technological exchange/transfer, bilateral programmes, R&D, and tech evolution studies.

Architecture of Gtr Fase A

Principal elements are:

GTR Analysis and Control Centre: Control Centre, Orbit, Time & synchronisation facility, Integrity Facility, General purpose Lab, Service and conference facilities, training facilities.

GTR Test Area:a network of Pseudolites generate GNSS signal (GPS in Fase A, GPS and Galileo in Fase B) for testing purposes. In FaseA, two pseudolites are relocable/transportable.

GTR Experimental Area:network of Fiducial Differential GNSS stations around Rome to support perfo experiment.

Sensor Stations: to receive and monitor GTR signals, and available GNSS Signal in Space, including Giove

Gtr Fase B:Main functions and improvements

Fase B shall complete GTR infrastructure as realised in Fase A.

Gtr will provide direct access to the “real Galileo signals”, under fully controlled conditions in a terrestrial Environment and a full fledged Laboratories.

Improving Gtr Control Centre and Labs capabilities . Extending number and capabilities of Pseudolites. Extending number of Differential Stations and of Sensors Stations Extending and maintaining different controlled environments areas

for different applications (including indoor, governmental and innovative applications).
