The Integration of satellite communication and satellite navigation technologies with space based observing systems will highly improve the GNSS potentialities for the prevention and management of emergencies, occurring inside or outside Europe.
The target of the Activity herein presented is the development of a User Platform in order to validate the technological concepts and acknowledge the benefits of an integrated communication/ navigation/observation infrastructure with the users. Complementarities of the satellite capabilities with the terrestrial capabilities need to be assessed on the basis of a medium to long term view. Foreseeable evolution of spaceborne and terrestrial communication and navigation technologies need to be taken into account and, in particular the relevant developments in the GALILEO System.
