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.

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.

Off the coast of Venezuela, U.S. forces seized the tanker Skipper in a helicopter-launched raid, an operation confirmed by U.S. officials on 11 December, after the vessel spent weeks spoofing its GNSS-derived AIS position. The incident throws a glaring spotlight on the global ‘dark fleet’, a network of sanctions-evading tankers whose illicit movements resonate far beyond the Caribbean.

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.
