Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
The group that sets standards for aircraft navigation receivers is planning work on four new types of devices including the first multi-signal and multi-constellation aviation receivers and a more cost effective navigation system to help planes traverse GPS-impaired areas.

A decade has passed since the first GNSS system-level authentication protocols were proposed, and yet the current ongoing discussion is still, “Do we really need GNSS signal authentication?” Indeed, the current argument is whether we need authentication at the system level (the satellite broadcast service) or whether user-based authentication (anti-spoofing) is sufficient for a number of application requirements.

Galileo satellite geometry and received signal strength for the December 9 fix using the first Galileo FOC satellite, as received by the Septentrio Test User Receiver at ESTEC. The first Galileo FOC satellite corresponds to E19 on the left display; IOV PFM to E11, IOV FM2 to E12 and IOV FM3 to E19. ESA figureGalileo’s fifth satellite (and first fully operational capability, or FOC, spacecraft) — recently salvaged from an incorrect orbit — has been combined with three predecessors to provide its very first position fix.
Test receivers at the European Space Agency (ESA) ESTEC technical center in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, and at the Galileo In-Orbit Test station at Redu, Belgium, received the signals at 12:48 GMT on December 9 from a quartet of Galileo satellites and fixed their horizontal positions to better than two meters.
