The European Space Agency (ESA) is currently completing the final qualification stages of the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) and is in the process of developing the GALILEO system, a self-standing 30 satellite constellation for global satellite navigation. The European GNSS Evolution Program was defined in 2006 by ESA to address the second generation of these systems.[1]
As part of the evolutions considered, three more RIMS are scheduled to be deployed in Agadir (Morrocco), Athens (Greece) and Alexandria (Egypt) providing the extension of EGNOS signal coverage to northern Africa.
Besides, processing improvements are scheduled for the EGNOS signal, including iono algorithm pre-processing fine tuning.
Finally, the deployment of EGNOS v3 is scheduled to cover the Multi-Constellation Regional System (MRS) concept and implement a GPS L5 augmentation service.
GNSS Evolution program
As part of the GNSS Evolution program, ESA called for two parallel studies in the scope of a Multi-constellation Regional System (MRS), that is, the evolution of the EGNOS concept to cope within a multi-constellation environment (Galileo, GPS, others GNSS constellations), and a multi-frequency scenario (GPS L1, L5; Galileo L1, E5a, E5b, E6, etc..).[2]
With this multi-constellation scenario, and with multiple frequencies available for navigation, the wide area regional augmentation systems must evolve and need to be adapted to this new behaviour. The next generation of the regional augmentation systems will not only be an adaptation of the architecture to the current state-of-art but also an important change of the concept. Considering only the new approach to the ground segment, this paper presents the alternative implementations of the integrity concepts, the different broadcast means and possible architectures analysed.
MRS mission is a natural evolution of a regional system, such as EGNOS, considering the advent of new constellations and new frequencies in the GNSS panorama. As GNSS modernisation plans are today under definition and other studies are assessing possible evolutions of GNSS systems beyond 2015, the MRS Study is focused on the 2012-2015 timeframe.
