Beyond the Link: Why Navigation Integrity Is the Last Line of Defense

Matteo Luccio — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:07:54 +0000

by Irish Torres, SEO SpecialistSafran Navigation & Timing Modern aviation runs on connection. Aircraft swap data continuously, ground stations refresh in real time, and satellite navigation quietly underpins it all, providing the positioning and timing that pilots and systems have long taken for granted. For decades, the industry operated on a simple assumption: a connected […]

India to launch NVS-03 satellite to bolster NAVIC

Tracy Cozzens — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 02:54:26 +0000

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) will launch the NVS-03 satellite aboard the GSLV-F18 rocket from Sriharikota on Oct. 30, according to India Today. The mission seeks to restore NavIC capabilities after earlier satellite setbacks. “That is one of the launch dates we are looking at. Most probably, we will be able to launch NVS-03 […]

Exail launches Marins M1 INS for naval and autonomous platforms

Tracy Cozzens — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 02:23:12 +0000

Exail has unveiled the Marins M1, a compact inertial navigation system (INS) designed to bring high-performance, resilient navigation to a wider range of naval platforms. With Marins M1, Exail extends military-grade inertial navigation to platforms where size, integration and cost are key considerations. The expected platforms include rigid-hulled inflatable boats (RHIBs), fast interception craft, patrol […]

SkyNaute enters commercial aviation on board Airbus A220

Tracy Cozzens — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 01:13:20 +0000

SkyNaute, an inertial navigation system developed by Safran Electronics & Defense, is entering commercial aviation on board the Airbus A220. By combining inertial navigation with hybridized GNSS data, it ensures the aircraft maintains a precise and reliable trajectory in all circumstances. Already selected for military aircraft, helicopters and drones operated by several European armed forces, […]

Skyband Systems begins production of M100 avionics

Tracy Cozzens — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 02:02:47 +0000

Skyband Systems has announced that the M100 avionics system has entered production. The M100 combines Iridium positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) with inertial sensing. It alerts flight crews in real time to GPS spoofing and jamming and provides position and timing using Iridium’s low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network. GPS interference has become a routine operational […]

The Promises and Challenges of LEO-PNT

Matteo Luccio — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:17:13 +0000

For decades, positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services have relied primarily on GNSS operating in medium-Earth orbit (MEO) and these systems transformed navigation and timing worldwide. However, urban canyons, indoor environments, interference, spoofing attacks and increasing dependence on resilient timing infrastructure are all pushing the industry to explore complementary approaches. The promise of low-Earth orbit […]

Real-time GNSS products lag post-processed solutions as accuracy demands tighten

Tracy Cozzens — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:41:54 +0000

A new study compares archived real-time and post-processed precise satellite products for multi-constellation, multi-frequency precise point positioning with ambiguity resolution (PPP-AR). Using a common processing framework, researchers evaluated single-, dual- and triple-constellation solutions with dual- and triple-frequency observations. Real-time streams achieved moderate centimeter-level positioning when corrections were continuously available, but the gap to post-processed products […]

Drone positioning board spots GNSS spoofing in less than 1 second

Tracy Cozzens — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:31:05 +0000

Ground Control has launched RockBLOCK APNT, a compact positioning and timing board that gives UAV, USV and autonomous-system manufacturers an independent source of position and precise timing from Iridium PNT. It tackles a weakness that GNSS-dependent vehicles cannot solve on their own. When GNSS is jammed or spoofed, a vehicle relying on it alone has […]
