Critical infrastructures in different sectors, including mobility and transport, telecommunications, energy, and finance are increasingly reliant on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) for the provision of reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) information. Resilience towards both natural and (intentional) human interference is key for our security.
A recent technological development is the radio frequency system-on-a-chip (RFSoC), which opens up possible solutions for the improvement of the resilience of GNSS. A completely other domain, radio astronomy, encounters similar challenges and has a lot of knowledge on radio interference. This project offers the unique opportunity for joined research in this area, to assess the promises of this new technology by implementing testing it in these two specific use cases, obtaining more generally applicable insights.
