With spoofing attacks on the rise, survey-grade GNSS receivers need to be protected by interference mitigation technology utilizing the latest security techniques to ensure reliable positioning.
The survey and mapping industry has been benefiting for years from GPS/GNSS precise positioning technology. While GNSS spoofing is recognized as a real threat for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or ‘drones’), its influence on survey and mapping equipment is still underestimated. Reliable data capture is important across various mapping use cases, from man-based surveying and mobile mapping all the way to UAV photogrammetry. Ensuring dependable positioning requires the use of robust equipment, designed in such a way that alleviates all possible vulnerabilities. The use of GNSS receivers which are robust against jamming and spoofing is key to trustworthy data capture anytime, anywhere.
