ALL.SPACE to develop alternative PNT for ESA

ALL.SPACE has been awarded €950,000 by the European Space Agency’s Navigation Innovation and Support Programme (NAVISP), 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 multiorbit 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.
