Galileo RF Signal Generator

Ursa Minor are in the process of technology transfer of a highly accurate and flexible digital signal generator to a commercial Galileo RF signal generator integrated with other GNSS functionality.

Marine Safety Services

Ursa Minor have developed with separate consortia services for marine safety. The first is a web based drift prediction service, EDD , including the novel use of nowcast weather data for increased accuracy drift predictions. Originally developed in partnership with the Dutch body NIVR (now Space Office), this service is now ready for commercialisation through integration into other marine safety systems or as a stand-alone service.

In addition, the MTTS project , partly funded by the Galileo Supervisory authority led to a demonstrator system that is an integrated application supplying situational awareness information from multiple sources to leisure vessel users and coastguard, as well as providing limited two-way communications between them. While designed to emulate a system-of-systems including space segment hardware, the implemented web application is functional and would be suitable for integration into other services or use as a stand alone product.
