• Objective: give research funding opportunities in the area of PNT devices. • Open to all user communities • Total budget: €3M • Similar to FP7-2C topic, but more flexible • Separate call: FP7-GALILEO-2011-ENTR-1 • Deadline: 16 December 2010 at 17:00:00 (Brussels Local Time) http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/dc/index.cfm?fuseaction=UserSite.CooperationDetailsCallPage&call_id=356

11

11

Two possible approaches • Receiver Prototype Development • Prototyping towards a final product • Recommended: €1M (EC funding), 24 months

• Advanced Receiver Technologies • Focus on research. No HW development necessary • Recommended: €0.5M (EC funding), 18 months

Number of funded projects from each approach TBD depending on proposal quality

12

12

RTD proposed areas • Hybridisation of GNSS with inertial sensors/other information sources • Hybridisation of navigation and communication signals • High precision: RTK/PPP multi-frequency for all environments; relative/cooperative positioning, advanced CP positioning • Multi-GNSS, Multi-frequency receivers (QZSS, GLONASS…) • Relevant ICDs must be available • Can involve cooperation with 3rd countries

• Multipath mitigation, complex/innovative SP techniques • Signal processing techniques for low power devices • Multi-antenna and other anti-jamming techniques.

13

13

Recommendations for the proposal • Focus on technological innovation (s1) • But do not neglect implementation (s2) • And describe what you will do with the knowledge you generate (protect, disseminate), and allocate appropriate budget (s3). • Write in a concise and factual style. Do not be ambiguous or contradictory. Be consistent and clear throughout the proposal. Otherwise the proposal will be penalised. • Take advantage of flexible reporting, deliverables and milestones. • Focus on 1 or 2 (3 at most) fields and develop them as necessary. • Relate somehow the project to Galileo (EGNOS if meaningful): e.g. process IOV/FOC signals. • Integrate activities in own R&D lines, if that maximises impact. • Create balanced consortia avoiding irrelevant partners or direct competition • Create synergies through participants with different background/position in value chain. Some examples: • • • •

GNSS expertise + other expertise (INS, comm, etc) University/research centre + industry with access to market Chipset manufacturer + service provider (RTK, DGNSS, etc) EU + Non-EU participants for multiGNSS activities
