Historical context of GNSS in space <p>The latest historic chapter in GNSS for space users was launched, as one would expect, at an Institute of Navigation (ION) GNSS+ conference — the one in Miami in 2019 — by a handful…
Rx Networks has introduced TruePoint | FOCUS, a high-precision, cloud-based GNSS correction service that offers instantaneous centimeter-level accuracy for a variety of applications. This service is designed to address the needs of industries requiring real-time precision, such as micro-mobility, smart…
Saildrone has equipped its Voyager platform with new hardware and software algorithms, allowing it to operate in areas affected by GPS jamming and spoofing. <p>The company successfully demonstrated these capabilities in the Middle East, showcasing its ability to function autonomously…
The AJ977XF+ is a Fixed Reception Pattern Antenna (FRPA) designed to enhance GNSS resilience in interference-prone environments. <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>LEANA technology creates a 20 dB null over all azimuths, from ground level to an elevation angle of ~15°.</li> <li>XF+ technology…
Unicore has introduced the UM981 series, a high-precision positioning module that integrates RTK and inertial navigation system (INS) technologies. The solution leverages GNSS and INS navigation to cater to applications in precision agriculture, surveying and mapping. <p>The module is compatible…
SPH Engineering has introduced UgCS Open, a free version of its widely used UAV flight-planning software. This new offering retains the core features of the paid UgCS Expert version, including 3D flight planning, terrain-aware automation and mission control. <p>The launch…
With the United States now recognizing the Gulf waters as the “Gulf of America” and not the “Gulf of Mexico,” digital map creators are deciding how best to reflect the name change for their users. <p>TomTom, for example, is introducing…
SparkFun Electronics has introduced its first ultra-high-precision GNSS timing product, the SparkPNT GNSS Disciplined Oscillator (GNSSDO). Designed for applications requiring sub-nanosecond timing and frequency precision, the GNSSDO is built around Septentrio’s multi-constellation, multi-frequency, L1/L2/L5-ready mosaic-T module. <p>The device integrates Septentrio’s…
For our March 2025 issue, Professor Washington Ochieng proposed the following question to members of our editorial advisory board: When we discuss the security of GNSS/PNT systems, we nearly always focus on interference — i.e., meaconing, intrusion, jamming or spoofing.…
