About the OMC
The output of the OMC will give a broad insight into the current state of the art of the BroadGNSS proposed system. It will allow contributors to give feedback on what technologies should be included in BroadGNSS, where they see the biggest technical challenges and what more information should be shared in order to make scope of the challenge clearer. The results of the consultations will be fully documented and taken into account in order to detail the tender specifications.
