Tenders Are Invited For Exploiting The Synergy Between Ground- And Space-Based Rf Monitoring Systems

Tenders are invited for Exploiting the Synergy between Ground- and Space-Based Rf Monitoring Systems (Artes 4.0 Spl 4s 3a.222) Expro+ Re-Issue Objective:The objective of the activity is to define, implement, and verify key scenarios that demonstrate the added value of a system integrating both ground- and space-based RF monitoring capabilities.Targeted Improvements:The following figures intend to depict the targeted improvement of a joint ground- and space-based system with respect to an individual ground- or space-based system:Increased detectionaccuracy of at least 20%. Enhanced geolocation precision of at least 15%. Expanded geographical coverage of at least 40%. Reduced response time of at least 30%.Description:While advancements in space-based monitoring technologies have been made, their integration with ground-based systems has not yet been fully realised. Previous efforts have concentrated primarily on enhancing the individual capabilities of either ground or space monitoring, often overlooking the potential benefits that can arise from a collaborative approach.Within Europe, there is an industrial base which offers ground-based interference detection solutions. This activity aims to support this industrial base by developing and validating the techniques to integrate space- and ground-based RF monitoring solutions. The maturity of solutions exploiting space- and ground-monitoring is currently low in Europe. It is foreseen thatthe activity will be supported by existing ground-based infrastructure provided by private parties or national regulators.This activity focuses on the definition, implementation, and demonstration of key scenarios to exploit the potential synergies of ground-based and existing space-based RF monitoring capabilities. These scenarios shall cover various domains, including but not limited to spectrum occupancy, geolocation accuracy, and interference detection, which shall be developed and verified in a representative environment. This involves the reproduction of RF interference conditions to demonstrate the added value of a joint ground and space RF monitoring system and using existing ground- and space-based RF monitoring systems. Additionally, the activity aims to establish operational concepts, including the definition of protocols and security aspectsfor data sharing, operational workflows, and collaborative methodologies that enable the two systems to complement one another effectively.
