PSIONIC is taking a different approach to RF and jamming mitigation. The company’s new laser-based sensor, SurePath, features a proprietary navigation filter that uses real-time velocity vectors to correct IMU sensor errors—providing information in one platform that typically requires multiple. And, according to the company, the undetectable velocimeter can’t be spoofed or jammed.

The European Space Agency’s NAVISP program continues to churn out on-point, PNT-related research at a time of increasing interest in the resilience, or lack thereof, of GNSS-based solutions. Among the latest NAVISP-funded projects to achieve completion is INSPIRe (Integrated Navigation System-of-Systems PNT Integrity for Resilience), which investigated a number of approaches for providing integrity of GNSS-derived PNT for maritime users.
