Abstract:	The Future Real-time Location and Navigation study, FURLONG, is a 12 month study concerned with simulating the signals of future satellite positioning systems (the proposed European Galileo system and the Modernised GPS) in order to assess the precision and reliability of future real time positioning services. It bases this work on research and practical modelling efforts undertaken by three United Kingdom based organisations that are at the forefront of this application domain; namely SciSys (Space and Defence) Ltd, The Institute for Engineering Surveying and Space Geodesy at the University of Nottingham and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. The study is funded by the British National Space Centre under the S@TCOM programme. The FURLONG study is currently on-going and is expected to near its completion by the end of the year. This paper reports on the progress of the research and the development of the simulators and describes the proposed test scenarios.
