Beyond GPS: A Multilayered Approach to Addressing PNT Vulnerabilities
This white paper discusses options for deploying a range of interlocking and overlapping solutions. In this multilayered vision, existing and emerging technologies can be used to minimize threats.
Creating a GNSS Test Plan
How a GNSS receiver is integrated can have a major impact on product and system performance. To ensure success, a best practice is to perform testing using a GNSS simulator, which allows for repeatable testing of devices with GNSS receivers in simulated environments.
Resilient PNT: How to Detect, Protect and Prevent Disruption of GPS/GNSS/PNT Signals and Sources
In recent years, malicious threats have emerged that exposed the Achilles heel of GPS/GNSS: Its weak power and unencrypted signal format leave it vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. The loss of PNT information can result in rare but catastrophic events, crippling critical infrastructure that is necessary for our survival.
Use Cases
UAV & ROV Autopilot
Any sensor fixed to either UAV or ROV systems must be light and small and must have a low power consumption. In addition, high shocks resistance is a key element to keep the integrity of the IMU in case of crash. In terms of accuracy, the IMUs integrated on professional drones, should deliver accuracies corresponding to the Inertial Tactical Grade. Accelerometers of the Inertial Tactical Grade will have bias repeatability performances of around 1 mg.

Test & Measurement
Test and measurement applications are spread out in various sectors – automotive, railways, defense and aerospace. Safran’s MEMS vibration sensor SI1000 is designed for test and measurement applications.
North Finding
North finding is critical for tactical navigation and target orientation localization. It is used either in fixed static observation systems or in hand-held portable devices. MS1000 implements an innovative microelectromechanical design and electronics which unleash unbeatable performances with regard to the long term bias and scale factor repeatability, in-run bias and vibration rectification error (VRE).
Inertial Navigation System Accelerometer
A key challenge for navigation systems is making them smaller, less expensive and more robust while preserving high-end performances grade. The innovative MS1000 accelerometer responds to tactical grade performance requirements due to the excellent bias and scale factor performances.
Dynamic GPS Tracking Systems
The Tactical Grade MS1000 is the Inertial MEMS accelerometer specially designed for GPS-aided system guidance or system guidance during a short time GPS outage.
AHRS Accelerometer
Safran Colibrys MS1000 MEMS accelerometer is designed for inertial application such as AHRS.
Case Studies
Orolia to provide Becker Avionics with GSG-8 with fully operational SBAS function to test avionics receiver
Orolia supplied a Skydel-based GSG-8 Advanced Simulator with advanced jamming and spoofing options to test the avionic receiver in real-life conditions.
Orolia Selected for FAA Air Traffic Control System Timing Technology
Orolia was selected by the FAA for this competitive program selected to support enroute radar systems across the U.S. based on its proven timing and synchronization technology and its ability to offer multiple output options as COTS products that do not require additional research and development time or investment.
Unmanned Vessel PNT and GNSS Signal Integrity Solutions
Orolia, through its France-based entity Orolia Systèmes & Solutions (O2S), demonstrated its remote positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and GNSS signal integrity solutions as part of a ROSS project (Remotely Operated Service at Sea) event where an unmanned vessel was teleoperated from hundreds of miles away.
