The SWIRLS project is a complete receiver development program: starting from user requirements for specific applications generated by experienced client partners, a full capability receiver prototype is designed, implemented and tested in its entirety. Parallel research and development activities in the course of the project investigate new receiver technologies for GPS/Galileo receiver applications in a professional market.

The Swirls project is coordinated by Septentrio and is partially funded by the European GNSS Supervisory Authority. It is part of the projects started under the 2nd call of the 6th Framework Programme for Galileo Research and Development. Swirls consists of a consortium of nine European partners.
