Status of EGNOS and Galileo
Agenda
European satellite navigation programmes- EGNOS
Increases the accuracy of GPS positioning and provides information on its reliability
3 services (OS, SoL, EDAS)
Open Service is operational since October 2009
Safety of Life service declared operational in March 2011
Designed primarily for Aviation, widely adopted in other segments:
159 EGNOS approach procedures in 87 airports
2/3 of farmers using GNSS adopted EGNOS
EGNOS inside the EU largest road user charging scheme deployed after 2009
service declaration
Available in over 70% of commercial receivers models
An enhanced version of EGNOS is currently under development. It will offer Galileo
corrections and a wider coverage area expanding into Africa and the Middle East
Autonomous infrastructure
Highly accurate global positioning services worldwide
Under civilian control and fully interoperable with GPS
4 services (OS, CS, PRS, SAR)
Galileo is currently finalising its In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase using an initial group of 4 satellites launched during 2011-2012
2 further additional launches foreseen for 2014
Already 30% of receiver models are Galileo ready
On 12th March 2013, Galileo passed an historic milestone for European space when the very first determination of a ground location fix was achieved

Agenda
EGNSS and Precision Agriculture
Precision Agriculture
• Agriculture challenges:
– Rise in the demand of crops:
Population increase
Bio-fuel demand
– Limited resources
Limited increase of the cultivable land
Water shortage
Energy prizes rise
• Precision Agriculture has an answer:
– Provides:
Increase yield production
Better management of resources
– Reduces:
• Chemical pollution
• Energy consumption
• Time
EGNOS has a wide range of applications

Fugro Seastar AS with 40 sensor stations worldwide; upgraded 16 of these stations with Galileo receivers
On the 18 of March 2013 Fugro demonstrated Real-Time PPP based solely on Galileo signals Position errors of the Galileo-only PPP solution comparable to those obtained with the
combined use of GPS and GLONASS “Noise” on the errors in the Galileo only solution is very low with respect to the
GPS+GLONASS combined solution
Switch-off of the “reception” of the GPS and GLONASS signals (i.e. blue line dropped to 4 Galileo satellites).
Components of the position error
First Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (PPP) results based solely on Galileo signals
Agriculture (1/2) Current Situation and Market Trends
16
• Consolidated use of precision agriculture in developed countries, in larger farms and mostly for crop production
• Uptake of GNSS precision agriculture in less industrialized regions (accelerated by farm consolidation leading to larger fields and decreasing prices)
• Adoption of integrated applications combining earth observation and GNSS
• New potential applications besides classical ones (Machine Guidance, Automatic Steering, VRT, Asset Management):
• Harvest and biomass monitoring
• Soil sampling
• Land consolidation
• Livestock tracking
• Virtual fencing
• Boundary management
GNSS devices by region*
• Revenues will be generated mainly by automatic steering and Variable Rate Technology
• Falling prices will be an important driver for the uptake of precision agriculture

Agriculture (2/2) Strategic Roadmap
17
• EGNOS preferred entry technology for precision agriculture throughout Europe, Middle East and Northern Africa
• Galileo integrated in all agricultural devices, recognized as reliable and adding value
• Galileo enabled receivers as preferred solution for CAP field boundary measurements leveraging OS and CS
• Galileo – Copernicus joint adoption providing undisputed added value
• Galileo CS High Precision to be provided starting from 2016
• EGNOS V3 dual frequency and dual constellation capabilities from 2019
• Partnership with key machine manufacturers for increased visibility and credibility
• Improve market communication on specialized agricultural magazines tailoring campaigns on national level
• Integrate value proposition with Copernicus
