10. EGNOS Extensions
Eastern Europe
Middle-East
MEDA
Depending on the extension area, technical implementation may vary from:
Homogeneous extension with deployment of additional RIMS
Regional infrastructure including additional processing capabilities

11. Aviation was first to recognise EGNOS benefits (mostly GA and smaller airports)
EGNOS competitive space
EGNOS enables a reduction in the decision height
General operational benefits
Reduction in angle of approach (direct and curved)
Better lateral guidance
Allows for IFR-like operation in non ILS-equipped airports
Increase in airports capacity
Increase in safety
Increase in flight capability (e.g. helicopters)
Expensive land based navaids can be avoided
Enables their long term decommissioning => lower terminal charges
NPA: Non Precision Approach
LNAV: Lateral NAVigation
VNAV: Vertical NAVigation
LPV: Lateral Precision with Vertical guidance
GLS: GNSS Landing System
CAT II: Category 2 Precision Approach
CAT III: Category 3 Precision Approach

Commercial Service
Encrypted; High accuracy; Guaranteed service
Safety of Life Service
Open Service + Integrity and Authentication of signal
Encrypted; Integrity; Continuous availability
Public Regulated Service
Search and Rescue Service

Please note: Currently the HLD still specifies for the PRS a horiz. accuracy of 6 m and a vertical accuracy of 12 m. However, this will be corrected to 4 and 8 respectively once the document is updated.
* Availability figures for global average

18. Road Market : Road Tolling
Galileo / Egnos can bring :
Better accuracy
Better availability of the signal
Authentication to avoid spoofing
Service guarantee to operators
All receivers will use two or more constellations for better performance :
Galileo + GPS
Galileo + Compass
Galileo + Glonass
Standardization process to be achieved in the interoperability Directive

19. Road Transport : Dangerous Goods
Proposal for an EC directive for real time tracking of dangerous materials
Aiming first at improving road safety and civil security
Should however benefit to hauliers as well as it will help smoothering traffic restrictions
Nuclear material as primary target
all other kinds of dangerous ggods concerned
Explosives, gases, flammable and combustible liquids, flammable solids, oxydising substances, toxic and infectious substances, radioactive material, corrosive, miscellaneous hazardous
International and European elements: Int’l regulation on carraige of dangerous goods by road (ADR), by river (ADNR), Int’l maritime dangerous goods (IMDG), etc.
For nuclear/radioactive material, additional rules:
Satellite navigation tracking:
position, date and time, speed, course, respect of pre-defined path, excluded zones, faster emergency operations, etc.

20. Road Transport : Monitoring of coaches
New EC directive proposal based on real-time satellite tracking to avoid this :
Monitoring of the itinerary
Real time Access control
Monitoring the driving conditions
Real time info service
+ automatic eCall for emergency situations

21. ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems)
Safety critical application
Needs total reliability and very high accuracy (up to 10 cm)
Galileo required with service guarantee
Certification process to be implemented : which agreed body to do it ?
To be on the market around 2020

22. PRS applications : Justice & home affairs, civil protection
Offenders & Asylum seekers
Electronic devices attached to offenders
Alerts when allowed perimeters are broken
Cut prison overcrowding
Emergency Services
Help emergency team operations
Provide route guidance in difficult terrains
Civil protection
Define and apply keep-away zones
Identify location to drop material
Police forces
Police fleet monitoring
Fight against piracy
Vehicule and individual traking and tracing
No numbers so far: but this is coming, as our candidates to the concession highlight the importance of these markets.

23. Conclusions EGNOS will soon enter into its operational phase
EGNOS Open Service in 2009
EGNOS Safety of Life Service in 2010
Galileo is at the handover between the development (IOV) and deployment (FOC) phases
GIOVE-A, GIOVE-B missions on-going
FOC procurement started in July 2008
4 IOV satellites in 2010
Full Operational Capability in 2013
International coordination is an important feature
Ensure compatibility as a minimum
Achieve interoperability when desired
Europe has demonstrated its technical capability to develop operational navigation systems:
• EGNOS is ready to enter into operations
• GALILEO is moving ahead steadily
• The future is prepared
Europe is now to show its ability to overcome the management and organisational challenges by supporting an appropriate way of developing/ deploying GALILEO infrastructure
