Why EGNOS GII (V3)?
• EGNOS V3 will provide the Galileo SoL
• International context is evolving:
−
New GPS frequencies (GPS L2C, L5)
−
Some existing frequencies will disappear (GPS L2 P(Y))
−
New constellations are being developed
−
Other SBAS are coming or planned to be modernized
• This new context opens the door for improved services (e.g. robust
LPV200), new services (e.g. high precision), extended services
(towards SBAS multiregional global coverage)
• Multi-constellation GNSS for major Airlines (commercial aviation
AIRBUS – BOEING) with a quasi – global coverage required in
2020-2025
• Maintains European Industry at the edge of GNSS technology
