When a disaster occurs, communicating and coordinating response between agencies is vital. While most public protection and disaster relief organisations (PPDRs) can rapidly provide emergency assistance, they first need to receive information and guidance. The EU-funded BroadGNSS project will improve the mobilisation of PPDRs by using Europe’s satellite navigation overlay service (EGNOS) and Galileo signals and operational advantages in downstream public safety applications. The project will apply the Pre-Commercial Procurement method to develop innovative solutions for a wide range of application areas to meet capacity needs concerning accuracy, reliability, assurance and cost of positioning systems. BroadGNSS will ultimately assist in the creation of sustainable supply chains.
