Development of a Global Navigation Satellite System Receiver for Specific Category Unmanned Aerial Systems Operations

Abstract

The DEGREE project is focused on the development of a cutting-edge dual-frequency GNSS receiver intended to achieve optimum performance and take advantage of the EGNSS (European Global Navigation Satellite System), which allows the leveraging of several differentiators in order to safely integrate UASs into non-segregated airspace and into the U-Space. In order to meet the requirements for commercial operations purposes, the objective of the DEGREE project is to develop a receiver that could meet the requirements for the high level of robustness required for SAIL IV and beyond, thus unlocking all possible risk levels for operations in the specific category.
