Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
The European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) has awarded GMV a new framework contract for the evolution of the Galileo Reference Centre (GRC). The mission of the GRC is to carry out independent monitoring of the Galileo system, providing EUSPA with reports on its operation, the quality of navigation signals transmitted, and the performance of the services obtained at user level.

The European Commission wants to establish a ‘timing backbone’, based on a sturdy blend of GNSS capabilities and terrestrial services, designed to bolster resilience when satellite signals fail. A recent market consultation report from the EC’s Joint Research Center (JRC) underscores the urgent need for such a system, calling it essential for EU autonomy, economic resilience, and global standing.
