3 2 Introduction In addition to annual work programmes, the Agency s Administrative Board and Security Accreditation Board adopt this seven-year multi-annual work programme as required by article 6 (2)(a) and article 8(a)(1) of the Agency s regulation. Naturally, such a multi-annual plan should be set within an overall framework for the period and should be linked to indicative resource planning for budget and staff. Overall consistency shall be maintained between the annual work programmes and the multi-annual work programme, although the level of detail is necessarily greater in the annual work programmes. As required by Article 8(a) of the Agency s regulation, the Director shall report on the Agency s progress in implementing this multi-annual work programme to the Agency s Board before setting the objectives for each subsequent annual work programme. This assessment allows the Agency to construct the annual work programme in line with the Agency s progress, needs and plans for the future. Page 3 of 33

4 2.1 Foreword by the Chair of the Administrative Board Welcome to the European GNSS Agency s Multi Annual Work Programme for the seven years from 2014 to This is the first Multi Annual Work Programme the Administrative Board and the Security Accreditation Board of the GSA have adopted. It is also the first time I am writing the foreword to such document since taking over the chairmanship of the Administrative Board in July It is a big honour and a great pleasure to work closely together with the Executive Director and the management staff, the Security Accreditation Board and the members of the Administrative Board to ensure that GSA fulfils its tasks and delivers on the activities enlisted in this document. I am rather proud to present this 7-year Work Programme to you. It provides an overall framework for the period and, within this period, identifies a high-level view of the tasks and responsibilities of the GSA, differentiating between the Agency s core tasks and tasks currently delegated by the European Commission through delegation agreements. The document is based on a new governance framework comprising the GNSS Regulation 1285/2013 and the revised GSA Regulation 512/2014. This sets a straight path for the European GNSS programmes, EGNOS and Galileo, starting with the hand-over on 1 January 2014 from the Commission to the GSA of tasks for the main EGNOS exploitation activities, including the development of future system releases with the European Space Agency (ESA) and to be followed by the hand-over of Galileo exploitation activities in Both programmes, Galileo and EGNOS, are getting closer towards their final objectives. EGNOS has been providing services since 2009 and Galileo is making continuous progress to deliver initial services. Therefore the focus of the activities laid down in this document lies on deepening the EGNOS exploitation phase, completing the Galileo deployment phase and starting the exploitation phase, continuing the security accreditation activities and ensuring the uptake of EGNOS and Galileo services, in particular with respect to the Public Regulated Service (PRS) of Galileo. Obviously the achievement of these objectives will seriously depend on the availability of resources, both financial and human. As the GSA s tasks are still growing, it is of utmost importance to ensure that the resources to be provided are in a fair relation to the tasks it is expected and willing to fulfil. Page 4 of 33

6 2.2 Foreword by the Executive Director Following the entry into force of the GNSS Regulation 1285/2013 and the revision of the GSA Regulation 512/2014 the first successful results are now being delivered by the GSA. These include EGNOS service provision and overall programme management from January 2014 onwards, the preparation of the Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC), the launch of the first and second calls for Horizon 2020 applications and the ISO-9001 Quality Certification of the Agency achieved in These are just some of the goals being achieved amongst many more as the European GNSS Agency targets to achieve its cruising speed in the time-frame The following are some of the key challenges which will be tackled: 1. The continuity of EGNOS services must be maintained at a time when EGNOS will be undergoing substantial technology evolutions and when market adoption is increasing not just in aviation, but also in maritime and rail, each of which will demand state-of-the art services 2. The Galileo Operation and Service provision will become the full responsibility of the GSA well in advance of the date when the deployment phase is finalised (now due in 2020); the competing demands of service provision and system deployment will have to be very carefully handled to ensure success. 3. Major constraints exist concerning the human resources assigned to the Agency and this will require very careful trade-offs between objectives, planning and the appreciation of risks. The Mid Term Review of the GNSS Regulation in 2017 and the revision of the GSA Regulation in 2016 will be an opportunity to review such trade-offs. I am convinced that the GSA is ready to meet these challenges on the basis of our unrivalled competences and, commitment to the job in hand, together with the enduring support of the Council and European Parliament.

7 2.3 Foreword by the Chair of the Security Accreditation Board This multi-annual work program aims at providing an outlook on the security accreditation activities for the Galileo and EGNOS programmes in the 7 years to come. Security accreditation is an enabler to the GNSS programmes. Security accreditation activities have already proven to be directly beneficial to Galileo Programme and will also provide benefits to the EGNOS Programme. They are actually key to improve the security of the programmes and hence the robustness of the services which are already offered (in the case of EGNOS), or intended to be offered in the coming years (in the case of Galileo). Regulation (EU) No 512/2014 which entered into force in 2014 has given new and important responsibilities to the Security Accreditation Board which I have the privilege and honour to the chair. The Regulation has also laid down rules to allow the SAB to take decision with the necessary independence with regard to the other responsibilities entrusted to the Agency, and notably the operations and service provisions task delegated by the European Commission. It is essential that the SAB can continue to rely on dedicated resources within the Agency to enable the SAB to take proportionate, appropriate and cost effective security accreditation decisions at the Programme milestones. To that end, even in a context of budgetary constraints, it is crucial that the current level of professional expertise provided by the Agency is maintained, developed and further improved. This is indeed crucial in order to prepare the accreditation of Galileo services expected in the period and to progressively extend the accreditation activities to EGNOS with the objective to have the next version of EGNOS EGNOS v3 accredited. The expertise accumulated by the SAB and the security experts of the Agency could also, and indeed should, be extended to other European space programmes for which security is of essence or brings an added value. We should all be proud of the centre of excellence we are jointly developing. Page 7 of 33

8 2.4 Using This Document This document provides an overall framework for the period and within this identifies a high-level view of the tasks and responsibilities of the European GNSS Agency (GSA). The tasks, but not the overall framework, are split into a main body and annex as follows: 4. Core Tasks The first section includes tasks and responsibilities currently assigned to the Agency in line with Art 14 of GNSS Regulation 1285/ Annex 2: Delegated Tasks The annex includes for information only tasks and responsibilities currently delegated by the European Commission (EC) to the Agency through delegation agreements. 2.5 Framework The Framework sets the overall basis on which the core and delegated tasks included within the Multi-Annual Work Programme are defined and is constructed taking into consideration the DG-GROW annual work programme 2014 for the implementation of the Galileo and EGNOS programmes, which in chapter 2 includes a strategic framework for the same period PROGRAMME CONTEXT The European GNSS programmes, Galileo and EGNOS, are now entering a new phase and have taken major steps towards their final objectives - the delivery of services. In particular, EGNOS has now been providing the Safety of Life service since 2011 and preparations are well advanced for the provision of the initial Galileo services, currently planned for mid-2016, building on the first Galileo autonomous position calculation which was achieved in early This has only been possible with the continuing progress made in the deployment of the Galileo system infrastructure, including both ground and space segments, highlighted by the launches of pairs of Galileo satellites in 2011, 2012, 2014 and most recently in March The provision of the EGNOS and Galileo services and the deployment and operations of the systems required to provide the services represents one part of the activities undertaken by the programme. Another part has seen major efforts devoted to facilitate and promote the market uptake of EGNOS and Galileo services, including in particular the European GNSS Applications Action Plan, and actions to ensure that end user needs are understood and used to inform programme decisions. Activities are also undertaken to support the development of the user segment, in particular with respect to the Page 8 of 33

9 Public Regulated Service (PRS). A further set of activities has seen significant steps taken to ensure that there can be confidence in the security and safety of the systems and their operations, and ultimately the services which they provide. Shaping the new service provision and user-driven phase of the GNSS programmes, a new governance framework comprising the GNSS Regulation 1285/2013 and the revised GSA Regulation 512/2014 has been put in place. This sets a clear direction for the GNSS programmes, starting with the hand-over of the main EGNOS exploitation activities on 1 January 2014 from the Commission to the Agency, including the development of future system releases with the European Space Agency (ESA), and to be followed by the hand-over of Galileo exploitation activities in PROGRAMME During the period the activities of the European GNSS programmes will be focused on: Further embedding and deepening of the EGNOS exploitation phase Completing the Galileo deployment phase and hand-over to the exploitation phase Continuing the security accreditation activities enabling the Security Accreditation Board (SAB) to take informed decisions, notably on the authorisation to operate the GNSS systems in their different configurations and for the various services Starting the Galileo exploitation phase, including key enablers such as the service centres. Starting the Galileo Reference Centre, granting the Agency the capability to independently assess system performance. Activities to ensure the uptake of EGNOS and Galileo services to ensure return on investment Activities to support the development of user segments, in particular PRS Preparing sustainable governance arrangements in line with the direction of travel set out in GNSS Regulation 1285/2013 and GSA Regulation 512/ EGNOS EXPLOITATION In global terms, EGNOS exploitation will focus on ensuring the continuity of services, the extension of the geographical coverage of the system, an increased uptake of services by the user communities and an improvement of services provision based on lessons learned. The Commission has delegated this task to the Agency following the signature of a delegation agreement in April The Agency Page 9 of 33

10 achieved an important first step for the continuity of services with the signature of a contract for EGNOS service provision in June 2013, and its full service phase confirmation in April The Agency will develop a plan to extend the geographical coverage of the system over the whole European Union based on new versions of the system that ESA will develop, under an EGNOS Working Arrangement to be concluded with ESA in The plan shall be coherent with the progress realised under the existing EC-ESA EGNOS Delegation Agreement which includes the development of new system releases, and remains in place until The Agency will work with ESA to develop the nextgeneration of EGNOS (EGNOS v3) which is targeted to be operational from 2020 onwards, following on from the closure of European GNSS Evolution Plan EGNOS v3 activities in mid In parallel, subject to a revision of the EC-GSA EGNOS Exploitation Delegation Agreement, the procurement of the EGNOS v3 initial operations and service provision will be undertaken, as will activities related to security accreditation GALILEO DEPLOYMENT PHASE & HAND-OVER TO THE EXPLOITATION PHASE Overall, the Galileo deployment phase will be continued and will be completed by 2020, including a constellation of up to 24 nominal plus 6 operational spare satellites in orbit and two spare satellites on the ground. ESA will undertake this as a delegated task from the Commission. Tasks related to the ground segment and system support will be handed over to the Agency in 2017 as part of the exploitation phase, based on an agreed hand-over plan. The Commission will aim to declare Galileo initial services, comprising the Open Service, Search and Rescue service and the PRS in 2016, and progressively declare the enhanced and full services, including the Commercial Service GALILEO EXPLOITATION PHASE The Galileo exploitation phase will properly start when the Galileo Service Operator is in place which is planned for early 2017, following a complex procurement process started in January Careful consideration will be given to ensure both continuity in operations and maximum competition in the procurement process. The Agency will undertake the Galileo exploitation phase as a delegated task, following the signature of the EC-GSA Galileo Exploitation delegation agreement signed in October As part of the exploitation tasks, the Agency will also work with ESA under a Galileo Working Arrangement to be concluded in 2015 for the development of procurements of follow on versions of Page 10 of 33

11 the ground segment, and the system support activities, to be in place at the beginning of the exploitation phase in line with an agreed hand-over plan. For the Galileo Reference Centre it is foreseen that a first version will be in place in the Netherlands at the beginning of 2017 in particular to support Open Service performance monitoring. For the GNSS Service Centre (GSC) in Madrid it is foreseen that the GSC Nucleus will be continued until the GSC v1 is available in 2016 and that its operation and maintenance could then become part of the Galileo Service Operator perimeter of activities. The Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC) will be monitoring the security health of Galileo and at the same time will be the service centre for the Public Regulated Service. Due to the strategic nature of Galileo, European legislation has established a framework to address threats to the Galileo infrastructure and signals, as well as to protect against unauthorized use of the navigation signals, thus enabling the Union to maintain full control of the system at all times with two key objectives: to protect the system from accidental or deliberate attack that could disrupt the service to mitigate subversive use of the system against the interests of EU Member States. A number of actors support these objectives: The Agency s GSMC shall be a secure EU facility that acts broadly on two missions: o to monitor the security of the Galileo system, provide advice to the EU Situation Centre and implement Joint Action instructions o to provide a secure method for PRS users to interact with the Galileo System Operator. This will simplify the operation of the Galileo system and provide assurance to PRS users that sensitive information relating to their use of Galileo is suitably managed and protected The Agency will staff the GSMC with its own personnel, possibly supported by security experts seconded from member states. EU Member States and institutions will also contribute to the Incident Response Capability through their national security agencies and executive bodies. Failing to guarantee the security of the Galileo system and of the Galileo governmental applications would undermine the mission of the system, the credibility of the Union and all the efforts spent so far on the programme.

12 GSMC operations, which are an Agency core task, are foreseen to start in Organisationally within the Agency, the GSMC operations team may be transferred to the Galileo Exploitation team by 2017, in line with the Galileo Service Operator start date. The Agency could progressively undertake further delegated tasks over the period, potentially including supporting PRS Pilot Projects, technical assistance to competent PRS authorities and non-galileo tasks such as EGNOS security monitoring. Further to PRS, following initial services in 2016, the Agency will then focus on full service delivery in 2020, specifically: The Open Service (OS) Service Definition Document The Commercial Service (CS) Service concept and business model Defining the CS provider The Search-and-Rescue (SAR) service will be fully available and integrated with the COSPAS-SARSAT programme with a fully operational SAR service provider SECURITY ACCREDITATION ACTIVITIES The Agency will continue to pursue security accreditation activities to ensure the Galileo system complies continuously with the applicable security requirements, to specifically identify possible new risks and to ensure that the system security plan is complemented where appropriate. These activities, which focus on the infrastructure in the development phase, are progressively moving to focus on the services and the operations to anticipate the exploitation phase. The Agency will progressively extend these security accreditation activities to EGNOS with the objective to have the next version of EGNOS - EGNOS v3 - accredited ACTIVITIES TO ENSURE THE COMMERCIALISATION OF EGNOS AND GALILEO SERVICES The Agency will continue its work, as a core task, to ensure market adoption of the systems, including by establishing contacts with users and potential users of the services provided by EGNOS and Galileo, collecting information on their requirements and developments on the satellite navigation market and the promotion of GNSS-based applications and services. During the period to 2020 the Agency shall undertake activities based on delegated funding to foster the development of fundamental elements such as Galileo-enabled chipsets and receivers. It is also foreseen that the Commission will propose a Page 12 of 33

13 revised Applications Action Plan for the period , and that research and development activities are undertaken by the Agency under the Horizon 2020 delegation agreement signed in April 2014 to support the development of GNSS applications. With respect to the PRS, Decision No 1104/2011/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council lays down the rules for access to the PRS. On the basis of this Decision, the Commission drafted the associated Common Minimum Standards (CMS) covering the use of the PRS, the development and manufacture of PRS receivers and/or security modules, export restrictions and links between the GSMC and the Competent PRS Authorities. After the Parliament and Council approve the CMS, the implementing acts associated with the revision of the CMS will be developed concerning PRS organisation, security management, operational concepts and procedures for the use of PRS and the export and transfer of PRS items. In parallel the preparation of demonstrations of PRS by Member States will continue while the Agency will work on trials and the development of pre-operational receivers under delegation from the Commission. In this context, and in line with tasks that may be entrusted to the Agency by virtue of Article 5(1) (b) or (c), Article 5(9) and 5(11) of Decision No 1104/2011/EU, the Agency will continue providing full support to the CMS implementation and to Competent PRS Authorities to ensure wide, sustainable and secure use of the PRS MID TERM REVIEW In accordance with article 34 of GNSS Regulation (EU) No 1285/13, the Commission will present an evaluation report to the Parliament and Council that will evaluate the progress of the EGNOS and Galileo programmes to see if they have achieved their objectives, if there is an effective use of resources and to assess European added value. Given the tasks entrusted to it, the Agency will play a key role in this review. This will be an opportunity to verify if the initial plan of the Agency s resources is adequate for the tasks entrusted to it. Page 13 of 33

14 3 Core Tasks for the Agency On 23 May 2014, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) regulation 512/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 came into force; this amended regulation (EU) No 912/2010 setting up the Agency. This regulation sets out the tasks for the establishment of structures for the management of the European satellite radio navigation programmes. The tasks listed here are grouped into the following broad headings: Security Accreditation (as per Article 2 and chapter III of the regulation) Galileo Security Monitoring Centre operations (as per Article 2 of the regulation) Market development including in particular preparation of the Commercialisation of the Systems (as per Article 2 of the regulation) It is also noted that the Agency may be requested by the Commission to undertake tasks entrusted to it by virtue of the PRS Decision 1104/2010, although this is currently not the case. Page 14 of 33

15 3.1 Task 1: Security Accreditation The Security Accreditation Board (SAB), established within the Agency as an autonomous body pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EU) No 912/2010 as modified by Regulation (EU) 512/2014, is the European GNSS Security Accreditation Authority. All the security accreditation decisions related to the GNSS systems are of its sole competence. Security accreditation decisions entail in particular: 1. the approval of satellite launches 2. the authorisation to operate the systems in their different configurations and for the various services up to and including the signal in space 3. the authorisation to operate the ground stations 4. the authorisation of bodies to develop and manufacture PRS receivers or PRS security modules, taking into account the advice provided by national entities competent in security matters and the overall security risks. The Agency conducts security accreditation activities defined in chapter III of the Regulation, ensuring the technical and administrative secretariat to the SAB, providing the underlying security assurance to enable the SAB to take proportionate, appropriate and cost effective security accreditation decisions at the Programme milestones. The Agency plays also an important management and coordination role for the SAB subordinate bodies, the European GNSS Security Accreditation Panel and the European GNSS Crypto Distribution Authority (CDA) Task Force.

The Panel is divided into a number of expert groups and is, for the interim, chaired by Agency, which also provides secretariat support. The Agency chairs the SAB CDA and this is managed in order to assess the conduct of EC COMSEC policy throughout the EGNOS & Galileo Programmes. It shall continue to achieve this through the authoritative assessment of the COMSEC experts from the Member States (NDAs) of evidence supplied to it by the EU GNSS DA regarding COMSEC activities within the EGNOS & Galileo Programmes. The SAB CDA shall then provide COMSEC assurance to SAB communicated as a COMSEC risk assessment in order to facilitate successful accreditation. To ensure the security of flight keys during EU GNSS programme launch campaigns. The FKC is an independent sub-cell of the SAB CDA, organised and managed by the Agency but consisting of COMSEC experts from the Member States formed for the duration of launch campaigns. It answers to EU GNSS DA for its operational role and to SAB CDA in the provision of assurance of flight key COMSEC activities within the Programme.

20 3.2 Task 2: Galileo Security Monitoring Centre (GSMC) Operations The GSMC infrastructure consists of two sites, one located at Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France and the other one at Swanwick in the United Kingdom. Operationally, the two sites are identical with similar operations area, configuration and sizing. Both sites are capable of managing GSMC operations in the long term. Both sites are identical regarding the operational IT systems, each site being equipped with a GSMC platform and a local Point of Contact Platform - altogether known as a Galileo Secure Facility (GSF) platform - each of them meant for operational use and for validation purposes. Currently the site in France is staffed and the GSF Platforms (both the operational and the validation chains) have been physically installed and European Space Agency (ESA) subcontractors are configuring them. ESA will hand them over for GSMC operations in The GSF operations will go through several reviews in line with the programme schedule: 1. The Key Point 2 review will ensure that the development of the GSF operations is aligned with the Galileo baseline. All existing documentation will be updated at this point as will the list of GSMC procedures, the validation plan and the training plan. 2. The Operations Validation Readiness Review (OVRR) will mark the start of the GSF Operations Validation Campaign and represents the acceptance by the programme of the design of GSMC operations. The core output of this review is a decision from the programme to start GSMC operations validation. A full list of detailed procedures and a detailed validation plan will be available as a result of this review. 3. The GSF Operations Readiness Review will occur soon after the validation of GSMC operations and will also mark the start of the Service Validation Campaign. The intent is to ensure that the programme accepts that the GSMC is able to operate the GSF equipment to meet its own operational requirements. 4. The GSF Operations Service Readiness Review will occur once the KPIs for the GSMC operations are validated and will mark the programme s declaration that the GSMC is fully operational. As the master GSMC, the French site currently has larger secured office areas to accommodate GSMC management, technical and administrative functions. The backbone of GSMC infrastructure consists of various IT platforms to enable the GSMC carry out its main missions of: Page 20 of 33

21 Galileo Security and System Status Monitoring. Management of PRS Access. Implementation of (Galileo) Joint Action Instructions. Provide PRS and Galileo Security Expertise and Analysis on Request. Accreditation of the two GSMC sites will take place in line with the Programme schedule. The UK site will undergo a Site Accreditation Review which will assess the technical status of the site and the local site hosting procedures and operations. It will mark the point when the site is considered suitable for deployment of the necessary GSF equipment. This will be accompanied by a formal certificate granting the authorisation to deploy equipment. Both sites will undergo a further review to examine the suitability of both infrastructures (including site maintenance and local security operations) to allow long-term GSMC operations from both locations. Such a review will end with the programme formally authorising the GSMC sites to be connected to the Galileo Operations chain. Five types of processes contribute to the GSMC s mission: 1) Operational processes o o o PRS Access Management Galileo Security and System Status Monitoring (including Galileo Joint Action) PRS and Galileo Security Expertise and Analysis on Request o GSMC Nucleus 1 o Operations Engineering (all services) 2) Technical support processes o Technical Schedule Management and Task Monitoring o Technical Reporting o Technical Engineering o Technical Operations General o Operational Systems First Line Maintenance 1 Provided in the interim period until full GSMC capability is available Page 21 of 33

Connect of the GSMC sites to the Galileo Operations Chain The GSMC will be responsible for reporting all anomalies on the GSF equipment to the programme to ensure that these are patched or that they are corrected in future evolutions. The role of GSMC also includes ensuring the resolution of anomalies reported by Competent PRS Authorities (CPA) regarding their use of the PRS Service. As of the GSF OSRR, the GSMC will need to ensure the continuous availability of GSMC operations that meet the KPIs applicable to the GSMC. Reviews achieved in line with the Programme Schedule Site accreditation review for GSMC UK and SAMS for both sites successfully passed in line with the Programme Schedule Establishment of an GSMC anomaly reporting regime All CPA anomalies tracked and passed to appropriate resolution entity Meeting of defined KPIs.

25 3.3 Task 3: Preparation of Commercialisation of Systems The Galileo Initial Services provision that will start in 2016, and gradually improve in terms of user performance, is a key milestone for the acceleration of Galileo adoption in the market. This milestone, in order to be fully effective, requires significant intensification of market development activities in order to influence relevant market decision makers. Similar effort shall be spent on the entire value chain (e.g. chipsets and receiver, service providers, etc.), to enable users to fully benefit from Galileo services. More specifically, market development efforts maximize the uptake of Galileo s Open Service (OS), Commercial Service (CS) and Search and Rescue (SAR) services adopting a stepwise approach along with the Galileo services provision main milestones (i.e. the provision of Galileo OS and SAR initial service in 2016, the Galileo CS demonstrator in 2017 and Galileo Full Operational Capability in 2020). The Galileo Open Service is mainly intended for mass market use and targets: o Road users by enhancing efficiency (e.g. for Road User Charging (RUC), enabling new services (e.g. ecall and Pay As You Drive insurance schemes), enforcing regulation (e.g. Digital Tachograph) and increasing safety (e.g. dangerous goods transportation); and o Users of Location Based Services (LBS), who can enjoy enhanced location based applications thanks to Galileo s OS advanced features. For this service, the Agency plans that: o o From 2016, there will be the potential to use Galileo services. This will leverage past actions undertaken by the Agency in markets like road where some European RUC service providers already have schemes which are Galileo-compatible, and in markets like LBS, where the main chipset manufactures are adopting Galileo after the Agency engaged them directly and supported the relevant testing In 2020, there will be a massive adoption both in road, where most of European road vehicles will be equipped with an EGNSS multipurpose receiver, and in the LBS domain, with most smartphones will be using Galileo thanks to its enhanced performance in terms of accuracy and availability. Page 25 of 33

26 The Galileo Commercial Service is designed to serve the most demanding users and is intended mainly for professional use, with the specific objective to provide the best navigation services possible with the current and future assets to the broadest GNSS community. The Commercial Service Working Group is developing the following roadmap: o In the second half of 2016, there will be testing of the CS capabilities with real-time data in cooperation with Commercial Service Providers o In mid-2017, initial services will provide both high accuracy and Authentication o In 2018, there will be the provision of the full complement of CS services (High Accuracy and Authentication) The management of key decision makers in the value chain and other stakeholders is important to prepare the best service for users. The Galileo Search-and-Rescue service represents the Europe s contribution to the international COSPAS-SARSAT co-operative effort on humanitarian Search and Rescue activities, and consists of two services: o The Forward Link Alert Service, thanks to a space segment (24 operational SAR Repeaters) and a ground segment contributes to improve the COSPAS-SARSAT capability to detect and localize data of 406MHz distress beacons o The Return Link Alert Service, that provides users in distress with an acknowledgment message informing them that the alert has been detected and located. In the period , the Agency will focus on the interaction with beacons manufacturers to maximise the penetration of Galileo-enabled receivers in new SAR 406MHz Location Protocol-beacons in the different market segments (i.e. aviation and maritime): o o For the Forward Link Alert Service, this will be the inclusion of Galileo-enabled receivers to compute the position to be sent For the Return Link Alert Service, this will be the Return Link Capability enabled The main user communities (e.g. mobile operators for consumer, automotive industry for road, etc.) must be kept engaged in roadmaps towards the adoption, recognising the benefit of European GNSS programmes. The Agency will pursue further activities concerning the uptake of EGNOS Page 26 of 33
