Satellite spoofers beware: here there be Draconav!

First published at ITS World Congress - October 22, 2019

With satellite tolling on the horizon in Singapore and beyond, unintended or deliberate – spoofing – corruption of satellite positioning is becoming a very real problem.

Erroneous positioning information also confounds navigation and fleet management systems and, potentially, speed and distance measurements.

To counter such problems, Galileo (the EU’s Global Navigation Satellite System or GNSS) is using ITS World Congress 2019 to highlight Draconav, a fully integrated and secure GNSS module, along with Patrol, an open service authentication user terminal aimed at smart tachographs to provide trusted position and time.

Draconav integrates multi constellation GNSS and motion sensors, allowing it to monitor both the vehicle’s movements and GNSS positional data. If it detects an inconsistency, the module goes into a “dead reckoning” navigation mode to provide an estimate of the vehicle’s true position.
