MEDUSA Questionnaire
Dear Sir/Madam,
The MEDUSA project is one of the two contracts implementing the Euromed GNSS II project, funded
by the European Commission. It is the second stage of the Euromed GNSS programme, the first being
the Euromed GNSS I/METIS project.
The main goal of the Euromed GNSS programme is to implement actions in the Euromed countries
supporting the exploitation of the European Satellite Navigation (EGNOS, the European Geostationary
Navigation Overlay Service), in order to possibly bring the countries near to the operational
use/adoption of EGNOS today, in view of Galileo.
GNSS services concern different markets, namely civil aviation, road, maritime, rail, freight transport
and logistics, geodesy, survey and mapping, research applications.
MEDUSA started recently and will run up to the end of 2014.
One of MEDUSA’s main activities is to draft a national report on “GNSS services provision actors,
users and strategies” for each Euromed country, guiding the introduction and exploitation of EGNOS
in all markets in the perspective of Galileo.
To do that, MEDUSA intends to largely capitalize on the METIS GNSS National Plans jointly
elaborated with the country stakeholders and shared with the relevant decision-makers. METIS GNSS
National Plans include infrastructure and service needs, identify opportunities and priorities, evaluate
costs and benefits, define actions and timeline, taking into account the particular needs of the country,
and the social and economical benefits that the use of EGNOS and will generate.
MEDUSA’s first step is to gather up-to-dated information by means of a consultation, through a
questionnaire.
I would kindly ask you to take part to this consultation, by answering to the questionnaire and/or
involving the appropriate counterparts of your country.
The questionnaire is structured into six parts, one for each main market. You can select your
market(s) of interest and fill in the questionnaire appropriately.
Please return the questionnaire preferably via email, to:
