Advanced Galileo PRS resilience for EU Defence

The project “Advanced Galileo PRS resilience for EU Defence” (Navguard) will develop ground and space-based systems to detect illegitimate activities in GNSS frequency bands and geolocate the sources of malicious activities, including an in-orbit demonstration of a PRS space-based augmentation system. An Information management subsystem will also be developed together with a user interface to establish a situational awareness picture.

Goal
The Navguard project ambitions to develop a European NAVWAR capability relying on GNSS spectrum surveillance systems, and to strengthen the PRS resilience, complementing ongoing EDIDP GEODE activities.
