World-leading innovation

World-leading innovation for an increasingly complex PNT landscape

The aim of GNSS testing is to understand how a GNSS-enabled device will perform in the infinite different circumstances of the real world. For this reason, realistic GNSS testing is crucial in the development and validation of positioning, navigation and timing systems that will perform in the hands of users. With the lack of repeatability and error tracing in real world testing, delivering realistic results depends on lab-based GNSS simulation and record & playback technologies.

Simulation and record & playback systems represent the state-of-the-art in lab-based testing for GNSS. With enhanced realism and the highest fidelity, the significant benefits of bridging the gap between lab and real-world testing can be realised. Foremost of these is to move more testing away from the field and into the cheaper, faster, and more scientific lab environment.

Learn how to create a realistic GNSS test environment in the lab to identify issues with your GNSS receiver. This eBook discusses considerations for realistic GNSS simulation and realistic RF record & playback solutions.

Automotive HIL testing

The Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Centre for Aircraft (WTD-61) is conducting a test project using a Spirent mobile GNSS simulation platform to assess the vulnerability of commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to GNSS spoofing. Accurate and reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems are essential for the efficient and safe operation of vehicles, including trucks and drones. However, with the increasing use of UAS, the risk of inaccurate GNSS information leading to UAS crashes and security breaches is on the rise. 

The Bundeswehr Technical and Airworthiness Centre for Aircraft (WTD-61) used a Spirent mobile GNSS simulation platform to investigate how drones are affected by GNSS spoofing. We share the test results of UAS vulnerability to spoofing in this case study.

Testing times: How badly are drones affected by GNSS spoofing?

Professional Test Services Use Cases

Satellite navigation signals from space are vulnerable to various threats such as solar activity, man-made interference, malicious signal faking, and manipulation of position and timing information. As our dependence on GNSS signals grows across industries, understanding and mitigating these threats becomes crucial for manufacturers, system providers, and end-users. 

How the growing threats to satellite navigation signals can impact your critical systems, and what to do about it.

Find the GNSS simulator that's right for you.

It’s widely accepted that simulation is the primary tool for testing GNSS enabled equipment. However, selecting the right simulator is not simple. The first port of call should be to check the feature list – does the simulator offer the functionality you require? After this, though, you will need to establish whether the simulator performs as expected. Failure to do so could have catastrophic consequences for your product, and even your business.

This eBook unveils important performance characteristics to consider when choosing a GNSS simulator.
