Galileo Search and Rescue services

      Forward Link Service (2016):
          § Near real-time reception of distress messages
              § To the Rescue Coordination Centre within 10
                 minutes (99%)
          § Augmented coverage
               § The more satellites and MEOLUTs the more coverage
               § Beacons with no GNSS position (non-LP):
                   § 3 satellites with SAR repeater are needed
               § Beacons with GNSS position (LP):
                     § 1 satellite with SAR repeater is needed
          § Precise location of alerts
               § Non-LP beacons: 5 km (95%) in 10 minutes
               § LP beacons: Limitation to 123x123m

      Return Link Service (end of 2019):
          § Acknowledgement receipt message to the distress
            beacon within 15 minutes (99%)
          § It enables the possibility of detecting false alarms

SAR Beacon Types

• EPIRB (Maritime): A 406-MHz beacon designed for use aboard a marine
  vessel is called an Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon.
• ELT (Aviation): A beacon designed for use in an aircraft is known as an
  Emergency Locator Transmitter.
• PLB (Personal): A beacon designed to be carried by an individual is known
  as a Personal Locator Beacon.

Note: Sometimes PLBs are carried aboard aircraft or vessels, but you must check with
local authorities about the circumstances under which this is permitted.

IA: activities aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services
PCP: Pre-Commercial Procurement actions aim to encourage public procurement of research, development and validation of new solutions that can bring
significant quality and efficiency improvements in areas of public interest, whilst opening market opportunities for industry and researchers active in Europe. It
provides EU funding for a group of procurers (‘buyers group’) to undertake together one joint PCP procurement, so that there is one joint call for tender, one
joint evaluation of offers, and a lead procurer3 awarding the R&D service contracts in the name and on behalf of the buyers group.

• Enable a high availability and integrity team positioning and tracking system
  based on GNSS, EGNOS and fusion of IMU & RF-ranging, able to work inside
  buildings and rural areas.
• Develop a tracking and alerting application protocols for fire services to improve
  responder safety
• Reduce the impact of fires on health, environment and economy by enabling
  improved fire suppression operations.              *IMU - Inertial Measurement Units; RF - Radio Frequency
What is Pre-Commercial Procurement?
• PCP to steer the development of solutions towards concrete public sector needs, whilst
  comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors

❖ PCP Actions (maximum 90% funding rate):
  ▪Provide EU co-financing for an actual PCP procurement (one joint PCP procurement
   per PCP action) + for related coordination and networking activities (e.g. to prepare,
   manage and follow-up the PCP procurement)

❖ Examples of applications:
    ▪Helicopter emergency medical services, crisis management; SAR
