Research on Galileo Receivers
NavSAS started its RD activities applying
advanced signal processing strategies to Galileo
and GPS receivers

• RD Activities
• Receiver core technologies
• Fully SW and SDR implementations
• NAV/COM integration and data fusion
• Interference detection and mitigation
• Tech platform for emergency management

TODAY on Galileo receiver
NavSAS is contributing to the development of
professional and mass-market Galileo receivers
with major industrial players. The first release
of the Galileo IRGAL fully SW receiver will be
ready in Q1 2008
