Baltimore, MD – September 18, 2024 – Safran Electronics & Defense is proud to announce the launch of the GSG-8 Gen2, the latest evolution of its renowned GSG simulator series, at the ION GNSS+ 2024 conference in Baltimore.

Building on the success of the GSG-8, the GSG-8 Gen2 is designed to meet the increasingly complex demands of the GNSS simulation and PNT Resiliency markets. With significant improvements in high-end capabilities, operability, and overall performance, this next-generation product pushes the boundaries of modern GPU and CPU COTS products to provide a best-in-class solution for multi-antenna/vehicle and jamming/spoofing scenarios – while remaining affordable.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Increased Power: The GSG-8 Gen2 boasts a significantly higher signal capacity, capable of generating up to 2000 signals. This makes it the ideal tool for high-demand applications in aerospace, defense, and transportation sectors – especially when simulating MEO and LEO constellations simultaneously.
• Advanced Scenarios: From LEO PNT and Space-based simulations, to NavWar and Resiliency scenarios, the GSG-8 Gen2 supports complex comprehensive jamming and spoofing capabilities, and multi-antenna/vehicle configurations for up to 12 antennas.
• Enhanced Usability: Featuring a user-friendly interface and an integrated front panel with N-type connectors, the GSG-8 Gen2 ensures ease of use and improved operability. The extractable disk and integrated timing card further streamline the user experience.

“The launch of the GSG-8 Gen2 is not only a significant milestone for Safran Electronics & Defense, but for GNSS simulation as a whole,” said Guillaume Obry, Product Manager at Safran. “The GSG-8 Gen2 is more powerful, accurate, robust, and flexible than any other simulator on the market today. This is in direct response to our customers that are performing space- and earth-based multi-antenna configurations, jamming and spoofing resilience simulations, using LEO PNT in combination with legacy signals, or high-fidelity scenarios using multipath and thousands of signals,” adds Obry. “So, when we say it is ‘best-in-class’, it’s not just a marketing tagline, it’s a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence.”

The GSG-8 Gen2 will be showcased at the ION GNSS+ 2024 conference in Baltimore (Booth B), where attendees can experience live demonstrations and interact with our team of experts. The first deliveries are scheduled for Q1 of 2025.

Available in three standard configurations (with 1, 2, or 3 SDRs), the GSG-8 Gen2 is designed to meet a variety of testing and resiliency simulation needs, from single-band to multi-band scenarios.
