MOD and InnovateUK funding call for GNSS Antenna competition!

The KTN webinar will provide information on the MOD/SBRI call on GNSS Antenna with briefings from MoD and Innovate UK, plus an opportunity for Q&A.

Phase one of the competition is for proof-of-concept studies which de-risk GNSS Multi frequency or Wideband Antenna technologies, and advise the future system performance specifications. The requirement is for a modular/scalable design, maximising Open Standards for a multi constellation, multi frequency system.

It is considered that the dismounted soldier applications represent the highest priority and most challenging conditions due to their exacting SWaP requirements and the necessary resilience required by military users. However, these antenna designs have applications far beyond the military; law enforcement, civil aerospace, mobile telecommunications, logistics, emergency management and infrastructure applications all could derive benefits from low SWaP antennae array systems for GNSS.

Phase 2 funding to develop a working prototype will be available for those projects that demonstrate the greatest potential at the end of the initial 3-month Phase 1 contract.

This competition opens on Monday, 6 October and will close at 12 noon on Wednesday, 10 December, 2014.
