Description
In December 2003 Critical was awarded the Galileo Phase C0 contract and got the first opportunity to get involved in the European Global Positioning System – Galileo. The Galileo programme is currently in its Development and Validation Phase. The goal of the sub-phase C0 is to consolidate the requirements from the previous sub-phase through extensive work confirming their feasibility, and to define the preliminary architecture of each segment. At the end of this phase, all segments’ requirements and external constraints shall be frozen.
Critical is working in the Ground Control Segment contributing in the definition of the software Product Assurance activities and in assessing the criticality levels of the software modules.
