Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
With funding from the European Space Agency (ESA), Space for Life (S4L), formerly Safe Structures Company (SSC), has developed the PONTI Box, a compact, automotive-grade sensor unit that collects high-frequency accelerometer data and precise GNSS timing as vehicles cross bridges and overpasses.

European efforts to strengthen positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) are increasingly focusing on timing, the least celebrated yet foundational element of the triad.

A new commercial positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) collaboration, anchored by TrustPoint’s low Earth orbit (LEO) C-band navigation service, is taking shape with industry partners on both sides of the Atlantic.

Europe’s role in lunar exploration has crystallized around a clear strategic theme: enabling reliable positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) beyond Earth, in close coordination with international partners, particularly NASA.

Europe has found an intriguing new player in the contest to strengthen resilience in positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT). iNGage is a Franco-Italian startup formed in early 2025 to commercialize a novel class of micro- and nano-electro-mechanical systems (M&NEMS)-based inertial sensors.

Since we last reported on the Safran-Xona/TrustPoint integrations, the low-Earth-orbit PNT narrative has advanced decisively, moving from laboratory interoperability tests to tangible in-orbit demonstrations and coordinated industry validation.

New research by Finland’s National Land Survey (NLS) seeks to measure and mitigate GNSS interference and to quantify receiver tolerance, in response to a surge of jamming and spoofing incidents in the Baltic region. Co-funded by the European Union under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the project runs through March 2027.

Funded under the European Space Agency’s NAVISP program, the ‘Deployable Satellite Navigation Antenna’ project has delivered a compact Ka-band antenna prototype for small satellite platforms.

GNSS jamming and spoofing usually comes from the ground with signals traveling line-of-sight. This means they are most likely to be detected by and impact aircraft. But what about maritime and shore infrastructure?
