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.

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.

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.
