GAGARIN - GAlileo-Glonass Advanced Receiver INtegration
Overview
Background & policy context:
The GAGARIN project is about the development of a GNSS receiver for aeronautical applications in the Russian Federation.
Objectives:
The project aim was to develop a GALILEO/GLONASS integrated capability in the GNSS receiver for aeronautic applications through an industrial cooperation between major receiver and antenna suppliers in Europe (respectively THALES and ERA) and in Russia (NAVIS), supported by key aeronautical Research Laboratory in Europe (DLR) and in Russia (FGUP GosNII Aeronavigatsia).
In the context of the currently existing GPS/GLONASS solutions, this dual GALILEO/GLONASS capability is necessary to consolidate adoption of GALILEO by aviation in the Russian regions.
Methodology:
The project set out to contribute to the development of standardised worldwide GNSS solutions including GALILEO in the pre-existing GPS and GLONASS solutions, and is paving the way to closer industrial and economical cooperation between Russia and Europe.
