Presentation

GPS spoofing and jamming - Latest mitigation techniques

Autonomous vessels require robust, reliable GNSS positioning for continuous safe operations. Jamming and Spoofing attacks can result in a loss of or incorrect positioning. Null forming is a common and effective technique for operating through GNSS jamming and spoofing attacks. This can be implemented in the GNSS antenna, providing a protected RF input to any receiver. However, it can also be implemented onboard the GNSS receiver, using ordinary antennas. The presentation shall detail Jamming and Spoofing characteristics and mitigation. In September 2022, NovAtel participated in the Jammertest trials held in Andenes. Results from NovAtel GNSS receivers tested will be shared.
