A new information portal for PNT and GNSS is now active. The European GNSS Center of Excellence (GNSS-COE) is designed to provide expertise to help development of critical PNT and GNSS applications. “We support the development of applications both in the design definition phase, as well in the validation phase of these applications,” according to the site. Among the offerings... read more
Radio waves emanating from secretive facilities run by Russia’s military are the culprit behind GNSS jamming in the Baltic Sea, according to Defense News. The news outlet reports that Polish researchers collected jamming and spoofing information on incidents covering the Gdansk airport, shipping lanes, and the airspaces of Estonia and Finland. The interference has been recorded almost daily since Russia’s... read more
Precise Point Positioning (PPP) has long held promise as a standalone, high-accuracy positioning technique, but its slow convergence and complexity in ambiguity resolution have limited widespread use. Over the past decade, GNSS modernization (GPS, Galileo and BeiDou) has introduced multi-frequency, high-precision signals, enhancements that expand opportunities for precise positioning. Yet challenges remain, especially in environments with obstructed views or fast-changing... read more
