GPS/GNSS Backups Tested in European Commission Trials
The European Commission Joint Research Centre has been evaluating alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) services.

Participating in the European Commission’s recent Joint Research Centre (JRC) alternative positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) evaluation in Ispra, Italy, NextNav demonstrated its capabilities in an environment free of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), “including instances of outages, spoofing, and jamming.”

“The trials conducted…on behalf of the European Commission are part of the global trend to develop a resilience layer to space-based GPS/GNSS systems that is more secure and available,” said NextNav CEO Ganesh Pattabiraman.
