The European GNSS Evolution Programme (EGEP) aims to undertake technology research, development and verification relating to Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). It accompanies the introduction of operational GNSS systems to support European scientific, technical and industrial expertise, it brings industrial knowhow on a par internationally, it sustains European competitiveness and innovation capabilities, and prepares for evolutions and upgrades of the EGNOS and Galileo navigation infrastructures.
The programme also contributes to the consolidation of ESA’s technical expertise in its role as design authority and procurement agent for the European GNSS programmes.
