Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
Due to the proliferation of personal privacy devices and other jamming sources, it is imperative for safety-critical GNSS users such as airports and marine ports to be situationally aware of local GNSS interference. This article proposes and validates an enhanced method for geolocating GNSS interference sources so that jammers and spoofers can be found and disabled.

UNDER THE EUROPEAN GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION
Geographical information plays a permanently increasing role in our society. More and more devices and applications use and process geographical information to serve all kinds of purposes. Smartphones, cars, e-bikes, scooters or foot shackles for law enforcement purposes collect and process geographical information on a permanent basis. Here, we take a close look at privacy issues and the data protection perspective, namely considering the European GDPR and experiences gained one year after its entry into effect.

The basis of all precision positioning and navigation is precision timing. Timing comes first. GPS Time is defined on the basis of a set of atomic clocks orbiting aboard the satellites and on the ground in monitoring stations; similarly for the other GNSS systems.

GMV has been chosen for development of advanced safe and precise positioning technology for a new generation of autonomous vehicles. Last week the Madrid, Spain-based company announced the award of an important contract for development of a precise satellite-based (GNSS) positioning system with integrity for the new generation of autonomous vehicles of the German carmaker BMW Group.

When the very first visitors to INTERGEO passed through the turnstiles in Dortmund’s Westfalenhallen exhibition centre on the dot of 9 a.m. on August 23, 1995, even the most wildly optimistic observers could hardly have imagined the trajectory this fledgling event was embarking upon. Although the geodesists conference was a firm fixture in this specialist field, the trade fair—until then billed as the “accompanying exhibition”—with its 185 exhibitors was really quite modest, despite having grown considerably, compared to the event held in Mainz in 1994.
