MATIMOP-Galileo comity has made it’s final decisions.
Our Galileo-Radar proposal did not pass the final stage.

We respect their decision, and wish the winning proposals success.

I would like to thank all consortium members for their kind efforts.

Good News
The GR consortium will downsize and continue to pursue the
extraordinary market opportunity of the Galileo-Radar project.
I will use this opportunity to announce the recent successful results of trials made by Sonarion a valued GR consortium member. Sonarion is challenging the very difficult issue of identifying the GR user head and gaze orientation.

Precise head tracking is a key to a successful and rewarding user experience using our GR device. Sonarion is examining a novel algorithm that fuses 3 different sensors for head tracking. Optical, Inertial and magnetic, where each sensor compensates for errors made by the other sensors.

U.S. says to reach GPS-Galileo agreement this week

The United States and the European Union, (according to Reuters, July 17) are close to signing an agreement that would allow their satellite navigation systems to work together to provide more accurate  information.

Under the agreement, both EU and U.S. satellites would send information on the same radio frequency, enabling receivers to get signals from both systems and combine the data.

Impact on Galileo-Radar (GR)
1. GR will benefit from this agreement, where one GR reciever will be able to pick up signals from both systems.
2. 30 US-GPS combined with 30 EU-Galileo satellites will enable accuracy never befor possible.
3. The EU-Galileo  satellites orbit lower than the US-GPS enabling a better coverage in urban areas.
