Leonardo Space reposted this
#Leonardo has designed, developed, and built the only receiver specifically conceived for the ultra-secure Public Regulated Service (PRS) - provided by the #Galileo satellite navigation service - which is currently accredited for use throughout Europe. The device - produced at the Leonardo sites for the Italian Space Agency (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana) and under the coordination of Italy’s Competent PRS Authority, expressed by the Department of Information Security - Central Secrecy Office - has won the approval of the Council of the European Union for IT (Information Technology) security products after successfully completing the process that requires double cryptographic evaluation. With its recently awarded certification, the Leonardo receiver will enable all authorised bodies, both civil and military, to access the PRS service of the European Galileo satellite programme, the most accurate worldwide. This encrypted, secure, and resilient service is accessible only to EU Member State government authorised users and provides positioning, navigation, and synchronization data for sensitive applications, including defense, fire services, health services, search and rescue, police, coastguards, and civil protection. The Leonardo receiver is installed on board the vehicles of bodies that use the PRS service to provide reliable, accurate, and cyber-protected information. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dP3pEuGZ
