GMV will develop a new version of the Galileo HAS high accuracy service data generator

The multinational technology company GMV has been selected by the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) to develop a new version of the High Accuracy Data Generator (HADG) as part of Phase 2 of the Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS) development. This globally pioneering service is the first to offer free real-time precise positioning corrections to all system users. The first version of the HADG, also developed by GMV, is currently operational and provides users with the Initial Service (Phase 1) of the HAS.

The new contract, with a duration of up to 45 months and a budget of up to 12 million euros, includes the design, development, deployment, support to commissioning and, optionally, maintenance of an improved version of the HADG. This new version will also incorporate the new functionalities required to deliver the services planned for Phase 2 (Full Service) of the HAS deployment.

Specifically, the new version of the HAS data generator will:

• Improve the performance level of Service Level 1 (SL1): The deployment of a new version of GMV's magicPPP^® algorithms for precise corrections calculation and the expansion of the ground station network will provide global coverage and enhance the accuracy and availability of the SL1 service.
• Implement a new Service Level 2 (SL2): This is a new regional service that will be available only in Europe. By transmitting atmospheric corrections, it will make it possible to reduce the convergence time required to achieve maximum accuracy at user-level.
• Implement a new functionality for the authentication of HAS corrections transmitted through the Galileo constellation, thereby increasing user security and confidence in the service.
