System description<br />

What is <strong>G2</strong>?<br />

– Commercial augmentation system designed to provide worldwide high<br />

accuracy positioning using both <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>GLONASS</strong><br />

– System developed by Fugro Seastar in cooperation with ESA/ESOC<br />

• Fugro expertise in real-<strong>time</strong> navigation<br />

• ESA/ESOC expertise in high accuracy GNSS <strong>processing</strong><br />

– System fully operational since<br />

2009<br />

– High availability <strong>and</strong> robustness<br />

More than 50 satellites used for<br />

– More than 50 satellites used for<br />

precise positioning!


System architecture<br />

System elements:<br />

– Dedicated dual-frequency reference station network<br />

– Orbit & Clock <strong>processing</strong> servers<br />

– Uplink stations<br />

– Signal broadcast over 10 geostationary satellites<br />

– <strong>G2</strong> user receiver: combines <strong>GPS</strong>, <strong>GLONASS</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>G2</strong> corrections


Orbit <strong>and</strong> Clock generation<br />

– <strong>G2</strong> corrections are <strong>the</strong> result of:<br />

– Batch orbit process<br />

– <strong>Real</strong>-<strong>time</strong> Kalman Filter<br />

– Accuracy of real-<strong>time</strong> <strong>G2</strong> orbit <strong>and</strong><br />

clocks (compared against ESA <strong>IGS</strong><br />

final products):


Orbit <strong>and</strong> Clock accuracy<br />

– From <strong>the</strong> user st<strong>and</strong>point, <strong>the</strong> accuracy of both orbit <strong>and</strong> clock in <strong>the</strong> range<br />

domain is determining <strong>the</strong> final position accuracy (URE=user range error)<br />

– User range error of <strong>G2</strong> real-<strong>time</strong> orbit-clocks compared with ESA <strong>IGS</strong> final<br />

products:


User accuracy<br />

– <strong>Real</strong>-<strong>time</strong> system performance<br />

for a <strong>G2</strong> receiver located at<br />

Oslo (6 th June 2010):<br />

• The accuracy of <strong>GLONASS</strong><br />

only kinematic PPP solution is<br />

remarkable, despite of lack of<br />

coverage some parts of <strong>the</strong><br />

day<br />

• <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>GLONASS</strong> combined<br />

offers <strong>the</strong> best possible<br />

solution, due to enhanced<br />

geometry <strong>and</strong> satellite<br />

visibility<br />

– Horizontal accuracy <strong>GPS</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>GLONASS</strong> 95% < 10 cm
