Orolia selected to deliver the next generation Galileo GNSS simulator

Orolia has been selected by the European Commission and the European Space Agency (ESA) to provide the core GNSS simulation engine for the Galileo Second Generation (G2G) RF Constellation Simulator (G2G RFCS).

While the first launched Galileo satellites are reaching the end of their theoretical operational life, the Galileo Second Generation (G2G) initiative includes the preparation of a future generation of Galileo global infrastructure, from satellites to ground segments in order to maintain current services as well as to provide improved performance and RNP (Required Navigation Performance) features to all users.

In this context, Orolia has been selected to participate in the G2G RFCS activity, which will support G2G signals evolution requirements.

The primary objective of the G2G RFCS initiative is to design, develop, manufacture, and test an enhanced radio frequency constellation simulator dedicated to Galileo engineering and experiments. This simulation technology will enable scientists and industries to verify, demonstrate, and validate the future G2G configuration.

To meet these requirements, Orolia will provide the core GNSS simulation engine based on its Skydel software technology, within a custom hardware configuration to simulate all Galileo signals including Open Service (OS) and Public Regulated Service (PRS). Orolia’s proven GNSS simulators offer the high-end performance level and flexibility required to configure this new testing infrastructure in a unique, software-defined solution.
