Dimetor introduces NAVSentry: advanced GNSS threat detection and prevention for securing critical operations
In today’s fast-paced, interconnected world, reliable GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals are the backbone of countless industries, enabling precise positioning, navigation, and timing for critical operations. From aviation and drone flights across shipping and autonomous vehicles to maritime, defense, and logistics, GNSS technology ensures smooth and efficient functionality. However, the growing menace of GNSS spoofing and jamming attacks poses a serious threat, with over 40,000 incidents recorded globally each month. These invisible attacks compromise systems, disrupt operations, and create significant safety risks.
This is where NAVSentry, the latest innovation from Dimetor, enters the picture as a game-changer. Leveraging mobile network infrastructure and advanced analytics, NAVSentry delivers real-time GNSS spoofing and jamming detection, safeguarding critical operations across industries.
What is NAVSentry?
NAVSentry is an automated GNSS assurance solution designed to detect and mitigate spoofing and jamming attacks in real-time. Unlike conventional systems that rely solely on standalone GNSS receivers, or ADS-B information of spoofed aircraft, NAVSentry leverages mobile network infrastructure to deliver a scalable, cost-effective, and highly reliable solution.
By continuously analyzing GNSS signals and mobile network data, NAVSentry can:
- Identify disruptions in real-time
- Pinpoint interference sources with precision
- Deliver automated alerts to mission control centers and infrastructure operators
This allows industries to take immediate action to prevent operational failures, financial losses, and safety risks.
Why GNSS assurance is a must?
GNSS technology is the foundation of critical operations across multiple industries, providing essential positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. However, GNSS spoofing and jamming – which create false location data or block signals entirely – are increasingly used to disrupt operations, cause delays, and introduce financial and safety risks. Sectors most vulnerable to these threats include:
Aviation & Air Traffic Management
GNSS ensures safe flight operations, accurate navigation, and compliance with air traffic management systems. Spoofing or jamming incidents can interfere with flight paths, disrupt communication with control centers, and compromise safety.
Drones & BVLOS operations
BVLOS operations depend on precise GNSS positioning for applications in delivery, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response. Disruptions can lead to mid air collisions, failed missions, and regulatory non-compliance.
NAVSentry and AirborneRF: a unified approach to securing GNSS and airspace operations
While NAVSentry and AirborneRF are independent solutions, both are developed by Dimetor and share a common goal: securing mission-critical operations across industries through advanced data intelligence, real-time monitoring, and mobile network integration.
NAVSentry focuses on GNSS assurance, detecting and mitigating spoofing and jamming threats that could compromise positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT)-dependent industries, such as aviation, maritime, telecommunications, energy, and logistics.
AirborneRF specializes in airspace connectivity and risk assessment, enabling safe, scalable BVLOS drone operations by providing real-time insights into mobile network coverage, ground risk assessment, and alternative positioning solutions.
By combining NAVSentry’s GNSS assurance with AirborneRF’s airspace data intelligence, drone operators can achieve:
- End-to-end situational awareness – NAVSentry ensures secure, interference-free GNSS data, while AirborneRF provides real-time airspace intelligence for drones, UAM, and aviation operations.
- Operational resilience – While AirborneRF enhances connectivity for BVLOS operations, NAVSentry protects against signal disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted navigation and compliance with safety regulations.
- Seamless integration for advanced use cases – Organizations leveraging mobile networks for UAVs, urban air mobility (UAM), and critical infrastructure can integrate both solutions to enhance safety, security, and efficiency.
Although NAVSentry and AirborneRF operate independently, industries that require both secure navigation and real-time connectivity insights can benefit from a combined deployment. Whether ensuring GNSS integrity in autonomous transport or safeguarding airspace operations from interference, Dimetor provides a modular approach tailored to the needs of different sectors.
