The main purpose of the Galileo 2nd Generation Security Chain (G2G-SC) is to develop the classified test tools to verify the correct implementation and robustness of all G2G Security Functions and the operational stability of the security infrastructure. This encompasses, among others, all new security functions introduced with respect to G1G and the adaptation of G1G Security Functions to the new G2G Key Management approach. Options will be included in this procurement for the extension of maintenance and operations. A G2G industry information day will be organized by the European Space Agency in the first half of September.
