Addresses GNSS signal vulnerability

25 February 2014

Leader in testing navigation and positioning systems, Spirent Communications, has introduced Spirent SimSAFE, a software solution that concurrently simulates legitimate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) constellations and spoofed or hoax signals to evaluate equipment resilience and help develop counter-measures. It has been developed in conjunction with Qascom, a leading authority in GNSS signal security and authentication.

SimSAFE is a fully controllable laboratory based, non-radiated test solution to evaluate a receiver’s response to a wide range of spoofing attacks. The test tool controls the generation of spoof signals that can be aligned with genuine signals from an antenna or locally generated "genuine” signals using a Spirent GNSS simulator.

This allows users to simulate a wide range of sophisticated attacks, monitor the response of the receiver under attack and evaluate the effectiveness of proposed countermeasures to then improve resilience against such attacks.
