Proposals should identify, design and create applications leveraging the items for the first generation of Galileo PRS. Applications should address the governmentally authorised user communities and scenarios for which the technical, operational and security related features requirements of PRS service constitute barriers to entry. The applications should target well-identified operational environments in which the PRS service features (e.g. continuity of service and access control) plays a differentiator role. Representatives of potential user communities should be involved as far as possible in the development of the prototypical applications.

Proposals should address one of the following:

Priority level

PRS based sensor/data integrator

1 Receiver box for civilian apps with simple and standardized interfaces to integrate receiver cards not developed in this call (except the Server Based cards (e.g. PRS receiver with simplified crypto approach).

2 Position and time (server based or stand-alone) of first responders and other assets (firefighters/ambulance/police/Trains/geo fencing) in the C&C centrals / dashboards (communication both ways).

PRS user segment management tools

2 Develop an electronic channel / software for the dissemination of black keys to the end user community with accountability for the keys (applicable to secondary channel or web-based infrastructure).

PRS based network time synchronization for civilian application.

3 Time synchronization of fixed critical infrastructures (Professional Mobile Radio, sludges, LNG valves, power grids etc) combining PRS reception and controlled latency time and data transfer.

PRS based sensor/data integrator

4 Integration with other position sensors (e.g. AIS/VDES, inertial sensors) and data (safe ships transport routes, image recording).

PRS based network time synchronization for civilian application.

5 Time synchronization of moving assets (e.g. between trains).

PRS based UXV apps

5 Civilian use of UXV in hostile environment (interference and / or conflict between authorized / non authorized drones).

Proposals submitted under this topic shall include a business case, exploitation strategy and the risk and threat analysis (highlight the risks related to the potential use of such technologies and proposed mitigations solutions on the user system level).

The submitted proposal, supported by the risk and threat analyses shall address specify of the PRS service considering the technological, policy and exploitation in the environment of use.

Development should build on existing standards or contribute to standardisation. European cross-border cooperation is requested.

Proposals submitted should ensure gathering at least 3 potential European user communities (at least from 3 different PRS participants).

Each proposal will be evaluated according to the SMART approach:

• Specific = The PRS applications/developments must bring a specific added value;
• Measurable =
  • The PRS applications/developments must be beneficial/shared for the whole targeted PRS User segment;
  • The PRS applications/developments shall brings a specific output with measurable results/outcome;
• Attainable/Realistic = The PRS applications/developments must be attainable and realistic in view of the operational, schedule, market and political related constraints;
• Timely = The PRS applications/developments must be completed/implementable and exploitable to a large extent by PRS FOC.
