Application Domains
PRS User Communities
Characterisation
Main operational scenarios and applications
• Critical Telecom
– Network Operators
• Critical Energy
– Energy Suppliers
• Critical Transport
– Civil Aviation
• Network synchronisation and timing
– GNSS as primary reference clocks
(backed with atomic clocks)
– Frequency calibration of radio signals (GSM base stations)
• Network monitoring and control
– Internal oscillator management
– Time stamping of incident
– Synchronised measurements
• None applications identified for PRS due to
certification & security constraints (except 1)
• Strategic Activities
– Commercial Ports
– Space Agencies
• Commercial ports
– Vessel traffic management
– Container tracking & tracing
• Space agencies
– Positioning of spacecraft (orbit control & restitution)
– Synch. of on board clocks & comm. links
Note: This list of potential applications is based on inputs from users.
Each Member State is sovereign and will be responsible for authorising its users and applications for PRS.

PRS User Communities
Characterisation
Commonalities
• Interferences & Jamming are possible and increasing threats
• Consequence of the loss of GNSS capabilities is critical
Positioning
Navigation
Timing
• Coordination centre no longer
receive the position of units
Degraded capabilities (e.g.
voice communication)
Automated coordination
process not possible
Degraded or No capability
• No reliance on GNSS only for
critical applications
• Degraded mode for other
applications
Degraded capability
• Probably the most critical
• Some networks synchronised
with GNSS stop within hours
• Spoofing of GNSS Rx is critical
for ground stations
No capability

Characterisation
PRS performances & features
• Accuracy:
– GPS/SPS performances fulfil current requirements
– Augmentation services used in particular cases.
• Integrity:
– Overall, no particular requirements expressed by the UCs
– Defence platforms: level of integrity requirements to be
studied on a case-by-case basis
– Space applications: lack of integrity limits the use of
GNSS sole means.
• Continuity:
– Not fully satisfactory today, main issue being in urban &
mountain canyons
• Availability:
– Poor availability of the GPS satellites is an issue at high
latitudes and in urban environment
• Time to First Fix:
– Improvement would be welcome in case of cold and
even hot start of the receiver in particular in urban
environments.
• Robustness/Security:
– Interferences/jamming not been clearly experimented
so far -> Not a strong requirement today
– Security of GNSS will be a critical issue in the future due
to increasing threats
– Some Defence UCs have highlighted that as civilian
User Communities will access to PRS signals, Need for a
better definition of the PRS receiver’s denial policy
• Interoperability:
– NATO Nations Defence UCs could use Galileo PRS as a
useful civil system in combination with GPS/PPS.
• Position & time-stamping:
• Need to provide proof in front of court of justice, e.g.
proving time of rescue.

Cost Aspects
•Expected cost of a PRS receiver
PRS User Communities
Characterisation
•1rst generation receiver : Target is 1000€ for Low end PRS receiver
5000
Example of price of GNSS civil based
equipments today and the expected
increase due to PRS (€)
• Most critical part of the receiver is the security module (SM), which is
of the highest priority for EC. A high knowledge and a long process of
development (+- 3 years) are needed. The SM is a driver in the cost of
the receiver (mid term target : +- 100 € for production of 10 000/ year
in 2016)
• Security Module studies will be welcomed and analysed carefully in
FP7 3 rd call (+- 3 to 5 M€), depending on the quality of the proposals

Security Aspects
• Management of keys and control of access:
– shall be compatible with existing procedures (in particular for PMR users or
Defence organisations) therefore as “invisible” as possible for the users.

• Accountability of receivers
– Accountability/Report of loss is in most cases an usual procedure
– Interest for a “kill” capability such as used for communication Receiver
Note: The considerations presented on this slide are based on inputs from users.
PRS Cost of Service & Security Management are still to be defined at European and Member State level.

drivers

PRS Market
Key drivers for PRS Penetration
• PRS Market Boosters:
– Defence
– PMR users (Law Enforcement &
Emergency Services)
• Main criteria for PRS Use:
– Increase of cost is limited
– Combination of PMR & PRS will be of great benefit for many users (police, custom…)
who will use a secured communication and a secured navigation
– For PPS users, increase capability to 60 satellites instead of 30 (even if GALILEO is a civil
system under civil control, MS will be sovereign to decide for its use).

Combined Use
• Combined GPS/SPS, Galileo PRS & PMR Rx
• Combined GPS/PPS and Galileo PRS Rx
(Defence users)
PRS User Communities
Key PRS Enablers
> PRS envisaged as an added value to
existing systems (due in particular to
signals compatibility GALILEO PRS &
GPS PPS)
Communication link
• Need for a reliable communication link
to take full benefits of PRS
• Use of the TETRA secured network
could improve benefit for the user
Improved communication &
positioning capability
Compliance with existing environment
• Use of PRS to be compatible with the
NATO NAVWAR policy and technical
principles
• Compliance with procedures existing for
PMR key management & accountability
Facilitate PRS acceptability
PRS SUCCESS
PRS Performances & Features
• PRS will be higly secured and compatible
with GNSS augmentations/local elements
to cover future applications
Authentication provided by PRS may
facilitate the position and time-stamping
Development of certain capability as a
strategic choice (anti-jamming…)
PRS higly secured and compatible
with future applications & needs
