GRIT is available as an option with NovAtel’s latest 7.08.00 firmware release, and combines NovAtel’s successful Interference Toolkit (ITK) with advanced spoofing detection. Optional GRIT capabilities include enabling time-tagged snapshots of analog to digital samples. The time-tagged digitized RF data allows users to characterize the RF environment and develop their own interference location algorithms.
Through spoofing detection, time-tagged data and interference mitigation such as anti-jam technology and digital filters, GRIT builds GNSS resiliency and integrity to better protect position, navigation and timing measurements. GRIT complements NovAtel’s GAJT anti-jam technology in providing resilient, robust and trustworthy PNT protection.
GRIT is a non-controlled firmware-only solution and can be easily installed without the need for specific export licensing. It is available as a firmware upgrade for all NovAtel OEM7 receivers and ensures trustworthy position, navigation and time measurements through proven situational awareness and interference mitigation.
Sandy Kennedy, VP of Innovation at Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning division, commented: “We’ve combined our world-class Interference Toolkit with new functionalities like time-tagged snapshots and spoofing detection to provide users with a comprehensive suite of mitigation tools. Expanding our protection portfolio through this firmware suite to prioritize situational awareness and mitigation for anti-jam and anti-spoofing techniques makes it easier than ever for users across any industry to achieve assured PNT. With GRIT’s spoofing detection, opponents could try to spoof us. But, fool us? Not a chance.”
