ALL.SPACE Awarded €950,000 by ESA’s NAVISP Programme to develop GNSS Independent Position & Navigation Technology

• ALL.SPACE receives €950K from ESA’s NAVISP programme to develop alternative PNT technology for use in GNSS-denied environments.
• The project leverages ALL.SPACE’s terminal to deliver resilient positioning information, independent of traditional satellite navigation systems.
• Funding advances UK-led innovation in secure navigation, reinforcing operational independence and national defence readiness.

 
ALL.SPACE, the leading provider of multi-orbit, multi-link SATCOM platforms, has been awarded €950,000 by the European Space Agency’s Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP). This award is to develop an alternative Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capability designed to operate in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments.

The project will build a proof of concept for Alt-PNT, harnessing ALL.SPACE’s multi-orbit terminal technology to generate and analyse “signals of opportunity” that can deliver position and orientation data independently of traditional GNSS sources.

The innovation is designed to counter rising threats from GNSS jamming and spoofing – scenarios of increasing concern for both defence and commercial operators. Delivered in partnership with UK-based GNSS experts GMV NSL, the project is aimed at embedding a resilient PNT capability directly within the ALL.SPACE terminal, forming part of its growing Software as a Service (SaaS) portfolio.

Paul McCarter, CEO at ALL.SPACE, commented: “GNSS denial is no longer a hypothetical scenario – it’s a growing reality. With the project, we’re developing a sovereign alternative that can restore confidence, capability, and control in even the most contested environments.”

ESA’s NAVISP programme is designed to spur innovation in navigation technologies and services across its Member States. The support of this programme underlines ALL.SPACE’s role in delivering cutting-edge, sovereign capabilities for UK and European customers.
Once proven, the technology will be matured and commercialised as an integrated service offering, helping customers achieve operational independence and secure navigation in any domain.
