Viavi Solutions took the wraps off of its Osprey GPS Simulator yesterday at the AEA Convention, offering avionics technicians and maintenance facilities a portable solution for GPS testing in hangar environments.

Osprey (operational simulated positioning for real-time evaluation of systems) is designed to address growing challenges in GPS testing as acquiring GPS repeaters becomes more difficult and potential regulatory restrictions loom for the industry. Viavi has positioned the device as a solution for conducting GPS-dependent testing without requiring aircraft to be moved outdoors, saving significant time and resources.
