Protecting Critical Infrastructure from GNSS Vulnerabilities
Product Information
Product Information
New GNSS threats are on the rise including GNSS signal manipulation and degradation such as spoofing threats, jamming incidents, multipath signal interference, space weather conditions and many other issues that can create GNSS signal anomalies, disruptions and outages. At the core of the BlueSky™ GNSS Firewall is a software platform which detects suspicious inconsistencies coming from the live-sky GNSS environment. The BlueSky GNSS Firewall Software Release 2.0 provides new features and security hardening to maintain an evolving, secure system.
BlueSky GNSS Firewall Software Release 2.0 includes charting and advanced threshold settings of GNSS observables. These improvements are as a result of Microchip's participation in an industry live-sky testing event hosted by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) which included GNSS threat scenarios.
BlueSky identifies and protects GNSS Systems from Spoofing and Jamming
Contained within the BlueSky GNSS Firewall is a software engine that analyzes the GNSS signal. GNSS signal data is received and evaluated from each satellite to ensure compliance along with analyzing received signal characteristics.
Integrates seamlessly between existing GNSS Antenna and GNSS system
Microsemi’s BlueSky GNSS Firewall is deployed in-line between an existing GNSS antenna and GNSS receiver system and can be placed near the GNSS receiver system or near the point at which the GNSS antenna cable enters the building. Thus, nearly all currently deployed GNSS antennas are supported without modifying the existing installation.
As a leader in frequency and time systems, Microchip continuously innovates GPS signal reception security technologies for commercial and military operators similar to how network firewalls protect against virus threats. Updates are essential to defend against rapidly-evolving GNSS disruptions and enable critical infrastructure operators to avoid interruptions of service.
