The Association of the United States Army’s (AUSA) annual conference highlighted the growing popularity of small unmanned aircraft as well as the need to develop and refine counter-UAS systems to go up against them—all of which must operate in GPS-denied or degraded environments. Many, if not all, of the systems featured rely on precise positioning, especially in the GPS-denied environments frequently encountered on the modern battlefield.

Through a series of four vehicle experiments leveraging low-cost GNSS/IMU sensors, the findings from this research indicate that low-cost HAS PPP solutions can yield results comparable to those obtained using CNES ultra-rapid products at the 68th percentile of errors.

There has never been a clearer and more widespread acknowledgement of PNT vulnerability. With its new strategy for ensuring the continuity of positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services, the United Kingdom adds considerable impetus to a trend that has already witnessed new determination on the parts of the United States and the European Union to assess real, alternative PNT (A-PNT) and/or complimentary PNT (CPNT) solutions.

The Eurofighter Typhoon is set to become the first international platform to receive the Digital GPS Anti-jam Receiver (DIGAR™) from BAE Systems, giving the aircraft more protection against signal jamming, spoofing and radio frequency (RF) interference.

A: Unfortunately, uninterrupted use of GNSS navigation cannot be assured due to GNSS signal susceptibility to various disruptions. All GNSS systems rely on the ability to receive weak signals from thousands of kilometers away in space, making them vulnerable to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
