Collaboration
Delivering through collaboration
GRAD routinely collaborates with Government departments, national organisations as well as international associations and standards bodies. We do so to share our ideas and results, and to learn from the work of others.
GRAD is keen to explore opportunities to work collaboratively with industry and academia in the delivery of our strategic objectives.
This can include joining proposed calls for funded projects or working in partnership to achieve a common goal.
Examples of recent collaborative projects include:
Quantum Navigation
GRAD is working with academia to trial quantum positioning technologies at sea.
MANAA
Maritime Autonomous Navigation using Alternative Absolute positioning techniques – this project is looking at using alternative complementary systems to support maritime positioning resilience.
INSPIRe
Integrated Navigation System-of-Systems PNT for resilience – this project studies maritime positioning integrity, reviewing current approaches and making recommendations for improvement.
MarRINav
Maritime Resilience and Integrity of navigation – This project considered the UK maritime requirements for resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and make recommendations.
ACCSEAS
Accessibility for Shipping, Efficiency Advantages and Sustainability – This project developed and implemented innovative prototype digital services to advance shipping accessibility in the North Sea Region. This project was led by GRAD.
Apparent Intensity
GRAD has worked with academia to extend knowledge on how the human eye perceives light. This led to significant changes to how the performance of flashing visual signals are determined.
