Interference and spoofing: severe threats for GNSS receivers and locationbased applications

/in /da
Technology seminar at ISMB
Un seminario tecnico nell’ambito della collaborazione tra ISMB e il centro di ricerche della Commissione Europea JRC-ISPRA, durante il quale interverranno due professori americani di fama internazionale, esperti su aspetti di sicurezza relativi ai sistemi di navigazione satellitare.

Abstract

GPS and Galileo are among the key technologies that are driving the evolution of many processes. Going from new road-tolling initiatives (future Pan-European tolling system) to innovation in management of safety-critical applications (e.g. maritime and aviation) the keywords are reliability and security.

Unfortunately Global Navigation Satellite Systems can be interfered: the threats for GNSS are unintentional interference, jamming and spoofing.

The joint Navigation Lab of Politecnico di Torino and ISMB organizes a technology seminar on this topic explaining criticalities and possible solutions.

Thanks to the cooperation of ISMB with the JRC-ISPRA European Commission research center, the seminar will host a presentation of Dr. Ledvina (Virgina Tech University) and Dr. Humphreys (University of Texas at Austin) who are internationally recognized experts in the field coming from US.
