EGNOS for Agriculture

EGNOS…• offers an affordable solution for precision agriculture

• enables farmers to optimise yields, increase labour productivity and reduce driver fatigue – all with minimal investment

• supports machinery guidance solutions with sub‐metre level accuracy, which is suitable for basic‐value crop cultivation (e.g. cereals)

• enables more efficient management of farming activities such as spreading, spraying and harvesting

EGNOS provides advantages to both farmers (higher profits margins) and society (increased food supply and more environmentally friendly agriculture).Around 80 % of commercial receivers are EGNOS enabled.

Galileo in Agriculture

Galileo….Galileo Open Service• Benefits of using Galileo Open Signal with other GNSS (to be available from the Initial Services phase): 

• signal design minimizing the multipath errors• better availability and accuracy• better results in harsh environment such as under tree canopy• Improved coverage at high latitudes• Single, dual frequency, triple frequency (E1, E5, E6b); new opportunity for ranging thanks to 

unencrypted E6B

Galileo Commercial Service• High Accuracy services for professional applications:

• PPP (Precise Point Positioning) service/corrections available worldwide (via Galileo E6 channel)• faster convergence time than existing PPP solutions (via triple frequency capability)• corrections available through signal in space not depending on geostationary satellites• accuracy comparable to RTK

Galileo will further improve the performance of GNSS‐assisted agriculture

New sources of data will arrive as more countries invest in Earth Observation

• Over 50 countries are now investing in EO programs, with total global investment close to $9 billion in 2014, a ninth year of continued investment growth. Investment is expected to top $10 billion in 2015.

The technology involves the capture and storage of information from satellites relating to the physical, biological and chemical compositions of the Earth.

• Government priorities depend on the stage of development of their EO programme, and wider government policy objectives. Environment monitoring and climate change remain top priority areas in governments' political agendas, supporting the development of science‐driven EO mission within R&D programs.

GNSS market in Agriculture

• The uptake of precision agriculture in Europe and worldwide will continue to grow, thanks to the benefits provided to farmers in terms of increased productivity.

• The Asia‐Pacific region will progressively challenge the role of North America as the largest GNSS market

• Tractor Guidance remained the most widespread GNSS‐based application in Agriculture

• Automatic Steering, which requires a higher level of accuracy, grew significantly thanks to increased adoption in developed countries. 

• Variable Rate Technologies (VRTs) are also starting to be increasingly adopted by farmers. 

• Asset Management solutions are now starting to complement in‐field solutions.
