The ROSS project, conducted in France by companies Marlink and SeaOwl, demonstrated the feasibility of autonomous shipping. Orolia systems ensured resilient PNT. (Photo: Marlink) The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has issued a resolution for maritime cyber-risk management, effective January 2021. IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) affirms that maritime operators need to address cyber threats that risk the integrity and availability of technology systems. GPS/GNSS signal jamming and spoofing expose the vulnerabilities of PNT-reliant systems. The single point […]

November 10, 2020 Pro rider Laurens de Vreese spent his time inside earlier this year doing something mind-blowing: he completed a 370 km non-stop indoor ride in Zwift. It took the rider of the Astana Pro Team 11 hours to complete his challenge on the Tacx NEO 2T. This wasn’t just a crazy attempt for a new record, he wanted to create awareness for the current worldwide situation and to motivate people to keep on […]

China’s BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS-3) has improved its timing service, according to a new study. Researchers from the National Time Service Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed the time transfer performance of BDS-3 signals. Results showed that the time transfer performance of the BDS-3 is over 50 percent higher than that of the BDS-2. After conducting the zero-baseline common clock time comparison and other analyses, the research […]

Swift Navigation, a San Francisco-based tech firm redefining GNSS and precise positioning technology for autonomous vehicles, today announced its precise positioning platform can improve the performance of existing single-frequency GNSS positioning, found on most production vehicles today, from the standard average of 3 meters to lane-level accuracy without changing existing hardware and antenna. These findings are demonstrated during the regular test drives the Swift team conducts to confirm the efficacy of its […]

“In some specific cases, e.g., for critical infrastructures and applications requiring both continuous availability and fail-safe operations, GNSS cannot be the sole means of positioning and timing information.” European Radionavigation Plan, 2018 The Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, is the preferred demonstration site. (Photo: European Commission) The European Commission is undertaking a GNSS backup technology demonstration, much like the one completed by the U.S. Department of Transportation earlier this year. Companies from many countries […]
