Astrium GmbH Services has won a €1 million contract with the European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) Supervisory Authority to undertake a key study which will define the measures needed to defend Europe’s satellite navigation systems and services against radio interference. PROTECTOR is a European Commission FP-7 program.
The PRS and Operational Tool to Evaluate and Counteract Threats Originating from Radio-sources (PROTECTOR) study will be undertaken by a consortium led by Astrium GmbH Services. The PROTECTOR study will focus on how best to defend Europe’s Galileo and EGNOS satellite navigation systems and their related services against interference from radio sources in L-, S-, Ku- and C-band. The study will map out the technical and economic parameters to developing an effective system to defend Europe’s satellite navigation systems against radio interference and intentional jamming.
Astrium GmbH Services will start the study immediately, working closely with its consortium partners that include its sister company Astrium Satellites in the UK and Germany, France Développement Conseil SARL, QinetiQ Ltd and Austria’s Joanneum Research GmbH.
