• Ensure that preventive and corrective measures are in place to mitigate risks to service performance.
• Verify that, in case of degradation, the ESP:
• Acts promptly to restore nominal performance
• Implements actions to prevent recurrence
• Review operational KPIs and ensure alignment with performance targets.

• Monitor corrective actions and ensure proper follow-up until closure.

Maintenance and Interface Coordination

• Support the exchange of services and information defined in the V2 Maintenance Interface Control Document (ICD).
• Contribute to activities related to:
• NAV Chain maintenance
• L3 anomaly management support
• System configuration updates

Deviation and Change Management

• Assess the acceptability of Requests for Deviation/Waiver (RFDs/RFWs) related to EGNOS operations (e.g. SLA, SoW, SECOPS, Sites baseline, LEO).
• Review Document Change Proposals (DCPs) impacting operational requirements.
• Participate in Engineering and Change Control Boards, providing operational expertise and supporting decision-making.

Coordination and Reporting
