  1. SAR/Galileo Service Early Demonstration Xavier Maufroid DG-TREN - Galileo Unit European Commission

  2. SAR Service: SAR/Galileo Service Early Demonstration • Objectives of the Project • Position of Project wrt Cospas-Sarsat • Project Activities/ Requirements

  3. Objectives of the Project • Support the integration of the Galileo Search and Rescue (SAR) service infrastructure into the COSPAS-SARSAT system in coherence with the MEOSAR initiative (MEOSAR Implementation Plan) • Demonstrate Early SAR/Galileo services • Forward Link Service • Return Link Service

  4. SAR/Galileo Service Integration into the Cospas-Sarsat System Return Link Message in L1 SAR signal (406 MHz) 9 Return Message 2 8 1 Transponded SAR signal (1544 MHz) Activated Emergency Beacon Galileo Ground Segment RLSP 6 Return Link Message Request Rescue Operation Beacon location Return Message Authorization 5 3 7 MEO LUT Beacon location 4 Mission Control Centre(SAR MCC) “Cospas-Sarsat Domain” Rescue Coordination Centre(RCC)

  5. Objective #1: Integration of SAR/Galileo Infrastructure into Cospas-Sarsat System • Galileo FOC Programme will procure the SAR/Galileo infrastructure and operation services: • Operational MEOLUTs Procurement • MEOLUTs hosting sites and operations Procurement • Return Link Service Provider (RLSP) Procurement • RLSP hosting site and operations Procurement • SAR/Galileo infrastructure needs to be integrated within the Cospas-Sarsat system (e.g. MCC network) to ensure operational services (contribute to rescue operations)

  6. Objective #2: Early Service Demonstrations • Incremental SAR/Galileo Return Link Demonstration • Validation of operational interfaces between the C/S system, SAR/Galileo infrastructure (MEOLUTs, RLSP) and Rescue Coordination Centres (RCCs) • SAR/Galileo End-to-End Demonstration • Forward and Return Link Services • SAR/Galileo Interoperability Demonstration • MEOSAR space segment and ground segment interoperability

  7. Position of the Project within Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR Initiative • Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR Implementation Plan is articulated around a number of phases: • Proof of Concept and In Orbit Validation Phase (PoC/ IOV) • Demonstration and Evaluation Phase (D&E) • Initial Operations Capability Phase (IOC) • Full Operations Capability Phase (FOC) • EU is present in Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR programme development: • Strong participation in MEOSAR Expert Working Groups • Contribution to all phases of the MEOSAR Implementation Plan (currently PoC/IOV)

  8. Position of the Project within Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR Initiative • The project shall support the D&E Phase of the Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR Implementation Plan • Objectives of the D&E Phase: Validation of the technical and operational performances of the MEOSAR system • Characterisation of the SAR/Galileo service (Forward and Return Link) contribution to the MEOSAR system • Incremental validation with the continuous deployment of the SAR/Galileo infrastructure

  9. Project Main Activities • Definition of demonstration scenarios/ architecture taking into account the gradual deployment of the SAR/Galileo infrastructure • Identification and involvement of main actors of the Cospas-Sarsat programme (MCCs, RCCs) in order to ensure that demonstrations are performed within the suitable operational environment • Perform necessary modifications on MCCs interfaces in order to allow the integration of the SAR/Galileo infrastructure (for Return Link service) • Perform test campaigns and service demonstrations

  10. Project Main Requirements • Selection of SAR Partners in the project team • Alignment with Cospas-Sarsat MEOSAR implementation plan • Alignment with SAR/Galileo infrastructure procurement in the Galileo FOC Programme

  11. Conclusions • Search and Rescue (SAR) will be one of the first services offered by Galileo as this service can be offered as soon as a few numbers of Galileo satellites are deployed (4 IOV satellites deployed in 2010) • Expectations are high for this project to become a first “show case” of the Galileo services
