UK Space Agency Funds GMV's Satellite Timing System under ESA's TOUCAN Project
The UK Space Agency is funding GMV's development of a secure two-way satellite time and frequency transfer system as part of the European Space Agency's TOUCAN project, which aims to bolster the UK's positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities. This initiative will enhance the UK's resilience in delivering secure PNT services for critical infrastructure and defense, while reducing reliance on GNSS through a reliable link between the eLoran transmitter and the National Physical Laboratory. Project partner Viasat is contributing satellite bandwidth and technology analysis to support the effort.

GMV is developing a secure two-way satellite time and frequency transfer system as part of the European Space Agency's TOUCAN project, aimed at enhancing the UK's positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities. Funded by the UK Space Agency, this initiative is a key element of the UK Government's Framework for Greater PNT Resilience.
GMV was chosen to improve the UK's ability to deliver secure PNT services for critical infrastructure and defense. The project seeks to establish a reliable TWSTFT link between the eLoran transmitter and the UK's National Physical Laboratory, reducing dependence on GNSS.
Additionally, the system will connect to an R&D timescale facility for operational synchronization. Project partner Viasat is providing satellite bandwidth and supporting technology analysis.
