Current Projects


ATLAS The objective of ATLAS is twofold:
(1) To continue the standardisation efforts for EGNOS and Galileo, developing MOPS for different kinds of GNSS receivers
(2) To bring support to the EC for the adoption of Galileo in the relevant international standardisation bodies (such as EUROCAE, RTCA and ICAO) and to support the introduction of the modernization of EGNOS (EGNOS V3) as the European contribution to the development of SBAS Multi Constellation Multi Frequency (MCMF) recommended by ICAO.
