By Peter GutierrezThe Latvian Positioning System (LatPos) is highlighting how strategic monitoring, operational transparency, and proactive interference management can sustain high-precision GNSS services amid increasing regional signal threats.
By Peter GutierrezWith 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.
By Peter GutierrezEuropean efforts to strengthen positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) are increasingly focusing on timing, the least celebrated yet foundational element of the triad.
By Peter GutierrezA 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.
By Peter GutierrezEurope’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.
By Peter GutierrezEurope 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.
By Peter GutierrezSince 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.
By Peter GutierrezNew 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.
By Peter GutierrezFunded 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.
By Peter GutierrezGNSS 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?
