The project is supported by the European Space Agency’s Space Systems for Safety & Security (4S) part of the Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems (ARTES) Programme. The initiative aims to advance GNSS-independent aircraft geolocation capabilities by leveraging a multi-satellite architecture to detect and process radio frequency emissions directly from aircraft, enabling independent positioning and tracking without reliance on traditional navigation systems, as a major contribution to the future European CNS infrastructure. This approach represents a foundational step toward next-generation radio frequency (RF) geolocation and space-based signal intelligence capabilities.","length":817,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Beyond EURIALO, the facility aims t...
