My presentation on the Galileo Initial Services at the IGAW 2017 workshop, SOGEI, Rome, 20 June, 2017.

1. Galileo Initial Services: paving the way for the GNSS of the future

2. 15 December 2016:
Initial Services Declaration

3. WHAT ARE THE INITIAL SERVICES?
• An official commitment undertaken by European
Commission, GSA and ESA, to manage the
“Galileo enterprise” in order to ensure maximum
availability and added value for users.
• Drastic and noticeable change of perspective:
 In the earlier phase, focus on technological,
technical and implementation aspects;
 in the present phase, emphasis and priorities
are given to services and users satisfaction,
increasing attention to operational, logistic
and organizational aspects.

4. Ultimate Service Objective:
User Satisfaction
PROJECT VS. SERVICE PRIORITIES

5. WHAT IS THE VALUE OF A COMMITMENT?
The new phase of the Galileo program, associated with the
provision of guaranteed services and a series of operational
and organizational changes has an essentially political
significance:
for the first time, the European Commission
officially takes its responsibility in the face of
European and global users for positioning,
navigation and timing services provided by the
albeit partially completed constellation of Galileo
satellites.

Galileo Exploitation Phase
 European GNSS Agency (GSA) to progressively manage
exploitation activities delegated by European Commission
acting as programme supervisor
 European Space Agency (ESA) to continue with its role for
the system design and development

10. GALILEO CONTROL CENTERS
2 Complementary Control Centres:
• Ground Mission Segment (GMS)
in Fucino (Italy) has the
responsibility for the mission
aspects;
• Ground Control Segment (GCS)
in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany), to
control and monitor the
constellation.
Both centres are being completed
to become fully redundant.

18. WHAT ARE INITIAL SERVICES PROVIDING?S
 Open Service
 Open to all and interoperable with other GNSS;
 Global availability.
 Public Regulated Service
 Access authorized and controlled by the government
authorities of the Member EU;
 Global availability.
 Search and Rescue
 Open to all;
 Global, under the control of the Cospas-Sarsat international
organization;
 Locate signals sent in case of emergency and communicate the
distress call to the Search & Rescue centers.

• Published: 15/12/2016
• Based on predefined
Minimum Performance
Levels (MPL)
• Include additional
technical information and
expected evolution of
services
The conditions under which the Galileo Initial Services will be delivered,
including their expected performance (accuracy, etc) and availability, have
been published on the website of the European Service Centre found here:

20. INITIAL SERVICES FROM THE USERS PERSPECTIVE
Better availability of satellite signals:
Being compatible and interoperable with GPS, all Galileo-enabled
navigation devices are capable to ‘see’ more satellites
 especially important in urban environments where the presence of high
buildings can prevent signal reception.
Improved Search and Rescue service:
SAR services enhanced with Galileo will improve:
 Detection time of a person in distress (3 hours vs 10 minutes)
 Accuracy of position of the distress beacon (10km range vs 5 km range)
Very precise timing:
Galileo timing will provide very high accuracy and resilience, e.g. in
combination with GPS, needed for infrastructure synchronisation.
 The timing of Galileo can be used with only one satellite in view

22. AUTOMOTIVE MARKET: DIGITALTACHOGRAPH
 Digital Tachograph (DT) improves road safety, supporting
the respect of time of drive and rest rules.
 The new amended EU legislation is proposing GNSS
inside the new generation of Digital Tachograph
requiring in particular Galileo compatibility.
 The need for increased robustness and trustability is
opening new opportunities for Galileo OSNMA

23. MARITIME MARKET
• An important milestone
enabling Galileo
adoption in commercial
shipping worldwide
• A potential ~110 m€
