Fusion with Copernicus

New development of receivers, antennas and enabling users technology:

• Continue to be driven by user needs and oriented for a commercial use:• Priorities on specific segments driven by market needs, consultation with Users, with MS,

with Industry/Academia• Clear-cut from prototype receiver developments needed to leverage new services

• Operational implementation of current differentiators:• E.g. OS-NMA and HAS, multi frequency

• Prepare for commercial implementation of new differentiators:• Early Warning Service, CAS, ARAIM, …

• Develop emerging, disruptive technologies (e.g. leveraging ML/AI, etc.)

• Explore synergies with other space systems on user technology:• E.g. Copernicus, SatCom
