By Inside GNSSIn today’s contested battlespace, positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) solutions must withstand jamming, spoofing and degraded visual conditions. For Loitering Munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), precision absolute PNT is mission-critical—not just ideal.
By Inside GNSSAs GNSS denial becomes a baseline condition across military and civilian operations, VIAVI Solutions is building a modular, multi-layered PNT ecosystem that integrates precision timing, inertial navigation and signal intelligence. With strategic acquisitions and field-proven technology, VIAVI is redefining resilience at the edge—where assurance is not optional, and adaptability is mission-critical.
By Inside GNSSBritish officials and French President Macron have announced collaborative efforts on a range of advanced technologies that includes resilient positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) such as eLoran.
By Dana A. GowardThe final presentation of the National GNSS Knowledge Center project, funded through the European Space Agency (ESA) NAVISP program, was recently delivered by representatives from CGI Netherlands, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR), and S&T.
By Peter GutierrezUninterrupted access to satellite navigation is essential in our modern world, but it is threatened daily by external interference, such as jamming and spoofing. New technologies and concepts can help increase the resilience of our satellite navigation solutions. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Leonardo are embarking on a joint project to explore smart antennas powered by Machine Learning to block unwanted signals.
By Inside GNSSThe European Space Agency (ESA)-funded GOOSE-VTL project, realized by TeleOrbit, Fraunhofer IIS and the University of the Bundeswehr Munich, has developed a unique software defined receiver (SDR) capable of delivering the resilience and accuracy needed for next-generation autonomous systems in GNSS-challenged urban settings.
By Peter GutierrezRocket Lab Corporation, a global leader in launch services and space systems, has announced it has been selected to launch a dedicated Electron mission for the European Space Agency (“ESA”) for the first time, to deploy the first pair of satellites for a future navigation constellation for Europe, LEO-PNT.
By Inside GNSSNavCom X is a precision positioning and communication system developed by Czech company Betrian, in collaboration with the Prague-based GNSS Centre of Excellence (GCE), and with support from the European Space Agency (ESA) under the NAVISP program.
By Peter GutierrezLed by Lithuania, 17 nations called upon the European Union (EU) to take action on GNSS interference originating in Russia and Belarus.
By Dana A. GowardSafran Electronics & Defense unveiled two next-generation navigation solutions at the Paris Air Show designed to counteract the global surge in GNSS interference and spoofing: the Skylight dual-mode GNSS receiver and the BlackNaute embedded PNT system.
By Inside GNSSThe International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have published a comprehensive plan to mitigate the risks stemming from global navigation satellite system (GNSS) interference. The plan was part of the conclusions of a jointly-hosted workshop on the topic of GNSS interference.
By Inside GNSSThales, a European leader in resilient navigation, has announced a major €55 million investment to strengthen its industrial sites in Châtellerault and Valence, France. This investment, which will be made between 2025 and 2028, will meet the growing demand for high-performance navigation solutions, both civilian and military, and will strengthen its sovereign and cutting-edge industrial base.
