oneNav has developed an L5-direct GNSS receiver ASIC, a breakthrough that enables devices to directly acquire and track L5-band satellite signals without relying on the older, more vulnerable L1 signals. The L5-direct receiver was rapidly designed and brought to market using the GlobalFoundries 22-nanometer FDX platform, which offers advanced mixed-signal integration and ultra-low power performance for both radio frequency and digital functions.

In today’s hyper-connected world, GNSS signals face unprecedented threats from jamming and spoofing attacks. As these signals traverse 20,000 km from satellites to Earth, they become vulnerable to interference that can degrade positioning accuracy or eliminate position availability altogether. Understanding how to recognize these attacks and implement protective measures has become critical for industries depending on precise positioning.

Advanced Navigation has shared real-world testing results of its LVS Hybrid navigation system. The system is designed for long-endurance operations in environments where GNSS signals are unavailable or unreliable. This system integrates a fibre-optic gyroscope (FOG) inertial navigation system (INS) with a Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS), creating a software-fused, inertial-centered architecture. “The world is evolving, and navigation must evolve with it.
