TrustPoint and Hexagon NovAtel in C-band LEO PNT Collaboration

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. The effort represents a significant step toward hybrid GNSS/LEO PNT resilience, bringing together new space platforms and mature receiver technology from established global suppliers.

Dark Fleet Tanker Spoofing Exposed Off Venezuela

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.

Trimble executive: GNSS still core of PNT

Speaking to Inside GNSS at the recent InterGEO conference in Berlin, Olivier Casabianca, Vice President of Trimble Positioning Services, said “If you look at the way we work today, GNSS is still the key component, serving all of what we would consider the central geospatial industries, meaning construction, agriculture, transportation, etcetera. People talk about making a digital version of the world, and we understand that starts with knowing where you are, before, during and after, whatever job you’re doing. Precise positioning is fundamental.”
