Assured PNT & Defense combating Electronic Warfar (EW)

Positioning for defense, security and critical applications

Always available and accurate Positioning, Navigation and Time or Assured PNT is key to successful security-related or tactical operations. AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology ensures your resilience superiority even in environments of Navigational Warfare (NAVWAR) where GNSS signals are limited or denied.

AIM+ anti-jam and anti-spoof technology has proven market-leading resilience at tests organized by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and at other dedicated events such as the JammerTest in Norway where receivers are exposed to powerful jamming and spoofing attacks for several days. AIM+ has also been confirmed to be effective in the industry as part of critical infrastructure as well as on the battlefield, where receivers are used under frequent jamming attacks near contested borders and in conflict zones. Septentrio is a Belgium-based company that designs and owns all the key components of its receivers, from the silicon chipset to the embedded software.

Drones and autonomous systems

UAV/USV/UGVs are now a vital component of modern military and security operations such as reconnaissance, supply delivery, border patrolling and more. Advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology protects Septentrio receivers in hostile environments, while providing situational awareness with jam/spoof detection and the built-in spectrum plot. Access to a multitude of GNSS signals ensures reliable positioning in challenging GNSS conditions and sufficient fallback signals in case of an interference attack. The receiver is fully secured ensuring only authenticated access.

Equipment for mounted and dismounted forces

Rugged enclosed receivers can be combined with other sensors as part of a resilient navigation system on ground vehicles and convoys. These receivers are highly secure, adhere to MIL standards and incorporate signal tracking hardware, which is robust to shocks and vibrations. Compact module receivers, on the other hand can be integrated into handheld devices and surveillance kits offering high accuracy positioning paired with resilience and low power consumption.

Communication and critical infrastructure

National and military critical infrastructure such as communication posts and towers are particularly vulnerable to jamming or spoofing attacks. Resilience of GNSS receivers used for time synchronization is crucial for ensuring continuous high-quality service. The mosaic-T GNSS module provides secure timing for synchronizing critical applications with nanosecond accuracy. Septentrio heading receivers allow uniquely small antenna baseline, enabling antenna alignment devices in a compact form factor.

For over two decades Septentrio has focused on identifying and eliminating any GNSS-related vulnerabilities. Leveraging a sophisticated system of sampling and notch filters, AIM+ suppresses the widest variety of interferers from simple continuous narrow-band signals to the most complex wideband and pulsed transmissions. During the JammerTest in Norway Septentrio receivers were compared with other high-end competition receivers in a mobile test under a live spoofing attack. The results are shown below: Septentrio receiver (orange tracks in each image) mitigates GNSS spoofing and shows accurate positioning along the coastal road, while competition receivers (blue, green and red tracks) are spoofed or confused and deliver erroneous positioning.

Interference can be visualized in the receiver by using the built-in software spectrum analyzer where real-time radiofrequency (RF) spectrum can be viewed in both time and frequency domains. In addition to defense applications Septentrio receivers are used for surveillance, emergency and rescue, critical asset tracking and policing. Our time synchronization receivers are used in critical infrastructure such as Smart Grid, 5G telecommunications, and more (see Timing page for more details).
