UAV Navigation, Septentrio to enhance anti-jamming capabilities for UAVs

UAV Navigation-Grupo Oesía has collaborated with Septentrio, a division of Hexagon, to enhance navigation resilience for unmanned aircraft systems. The partnership focuses on ensuring compatibility between UAV Navigation’s guidance, navigation and control systems and Septentrio’s GNSS receivers.

The collaboration integrates Septentrio’s high-precision real-time kinematic (RTK) capabilities with AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing technology. The anti-spoofing protection utilizes the Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) service alongside Septentrio’s proprietary algorithms to defend against signal interference and manipulation.

UAV Navigation’s flight control system now automatically detects when a Septentrio OSNMA-enabled receiver is connected and prioritizes its data within the navigation logic. This integration demonstrates the interoperability capabilities of the Spanish company’s systems while providing enhanced protection against GNSS jamming and spoofing threats.

Both companies seek to advance secure, reliable and high-precision navigation solutions for unmanned systems operating in challenging electromagnetic environments. The integration aims to maintain navigation accuracy and mission effectiveness when traditional GNSS signals face interference or manipulation.
