May 29, 2025 Here’s how your Garmin smartwatch can help you track the benefits of rucking. No matter your age or fitness level, this fitness activity is accessible for just about everyone — if you can walk and wear a backpack. It’s called rucking. And now you can start rucking with a compatible Garmin smartwatch. Let’s break it down. What is rucking? Rucking is simply walking — but with added weight. While rucking has historical […]

Photo: AerialPerspective Works / E+ / Getty Images In today’s hyper-connected world, GNSS signals face unprecedented threats from jamming and spoofing attacks. As these signals traverse 20,000 km from satellites to Earth, they become vulnerable to interference that can degrade positioning accuracy or eliminate position availability altogether. Understanding how to recognize these attacks and implement protective measures has become critical for industries depending on precise positioning. Two Distinct Threats Jamming occurs when signals are disrupted […]

May 27, 2025 You’ll never regret taking the scenic route. The magic of looking out the window and taking in the view is, quite frankly, unmatched and one of the many benefits of traveling in an RV. There is never a bad time to dust off the RV and visit bucket list destinations and national parks — adventure awaits no matter the time of the year. To get the most out of your experience, there are […]

India continues to make significant progress in developing indigenous unmanned aerial vehicles, loitering munitions and autonomous systems. However, many of these platforms face a critical vulnerability: their reliance on unprotected satellite navigation. This threat is no longer theoretical. Recent escalations with Pakistan, including drone incursions, cyber operations and suspected GPS interference near sensitive border areas, have underscored the growing use of low-cost, easily concealed GNSS jamming tools. Such devices can disrupt UAV operations, sever navigation […]

GPS World staff will be attending XPONENTIAL 2025, taking place May 19–22 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. The event is co-hosted by the Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and Messe Düsseldorf North America (MDNA). Organizers expect participation from thousands of professionals representing defense, commercial and public sectors, amid ongoing changes in federal investment and policy related to autonomous technologies. Keynote Speakers and Programming The conference will feature keynote addresses from […]

The Archer 4 with GNSS Expansion Pod and RTK connection is now an all-in-one centimeter mapping solution. Juniper Systems Inc. announces that the GNSS Expansion Pod for the Archer 4 Rugged Handheld is now RTK capable. Juniper Systems is also launching a new application for the Archer 4 called Archer Connect. The Archer 4 with GNSS Expansion Pod and RTK connection is now an all-in-one centimeter mapping solution. “We are very excited to bring this update to the Archer 4,” said […]

SpacePNT has joined the European Space Agency’s Genesis mission, a navigation satellite project that will be the first to carry all four space-based geodetic techniques on board: GNSS, Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Very Large Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Doppler Orbitography and Radio-positioning Integrated by Satellite (DORIS). SpacePNT’s NaviLEO spaceborne GNSS receiver technology was selected for the mission’s critical satellite navigation ranging instrument. Although NaviLEO has flight heritage in low-Earth orbit, it will be adapted for […]

SiFly, a Silicon Valley-based startup, has introduced a new line of long-range electric drones designed to expand industrial capabilities. The company’s flagship Q12 platform delivers more than two hours of continuous hover and up to three hours in forward flight, enabling a 90-mile operational range while carrying payloads of up to 10 lbs. According to the company, this can lead to new possibilities for Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight (BVLOS) missions that were previously unattainable. SiFly plans […]

On March 27, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) unanimously approved a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) to explore GPS alternatives, amid escalating threats to security and system resiliency. The move signals growing federal concern about the reliability of space-based navigation and timing infrastructure amid rising global interference and spoofing incidents. But while the FCC’s broad consideration of alternative technologies is a welcome step forward, its framing also risks weakening one of GPS’s most important defenses: the […]
