- Veterans Day: Steven St. John | SafranFederalSystems
Veterans Day: Steven St. John What branch of the military did you serve in, and for how long? I served 22 years in the Air Force and Space Force, started as an enlisted member, and finished as a Major. What were your duties? I was a Satellite Operator, an Electronic Warfare Operator, a GNSS and SATCOM Aggressor, a Nuclear ICBM Officer, an Intelligence Analyst, and various held leadership positions. What inspired you to join the military? I wanted to serve my country and be part of missions that mattered. The chance to work worth amazing people and at the cutting edge of space, intelligence, and electronic warfare kept me motivated to stay. What does Veterans Day mean to you personally? It’s a day to honor the people I served with and the sacrifices they made. For me, it’s also about carrying forward the lessons of teamwork and resilience. What drew you to Safran? I knew Safran’s products from my time as an Aggressor on the buying side, and I saw firsthand how they could close real gaps for operators. I wanted to help bridge the gap between technology and warfighters, especially in replicating realistic NAVWAR threats. What skills or values from your service do you apply in your role here? I bring real‑world experience as an EW operator in conflict, creating GNSS‑denied environments and training joint forces how to operate through the effects, and an in-depth understanding how threats apply to our systems. I served in the Special Operations community, which is part of our end-user customer base, and I was the go‑to person for troubleshooting SOF systems in GNSS‑denied environments. I also bring credibility and relationships in the operational community that help connect Safran’s technology to real user needs. In your opinion, what do Veterans bring to the workplace? Veterans bring perspective from operating in tough, high‑stakes environments. We know how to adapt quickly, work as a team, and keep the mission in focus. We also bring instant rapport with our end-users because we walked in their shoes. What’s a memorable experience from your time in service? Flying out to the USS Ronald Reagan at sea, getting hooked, living onboard for five days, training sailors on GNSS and SATCOM jamming before their deployment and being catapulted off the carrier afterward…I’ll never forget how amazing it was to see the “lightbulb” come on when they understood the threat and how to mitigate it. Also, briefing the Secretary of the Air Force in his office on how our TTPs held up against real threats and feeling the passion he had for the lowest level warfighters. What’s your proudest accomplishment — either in or out of uniform? Building the Digital Threat Portal. I saw a serious gap, had almost no resources, and still found a way to deliver a capability to thousands of warfighters in just months and at no cost to the government. We had a great team that rallied around each other and the mission to get it out the door. One of our “Safran Together” values is Succeeding Together. How do you embody this in your role? I focus on connecting technology with operators, making sure their voices shape what we deliver so they come home safe. Success is never about one person, it’s about making the whole team, and ultimately the warfighter, stronger. Feeling inspired? Explore career opportunities at Safran Federal Systems CAREERS
- Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications
An Inertial Navigation System (INS) that provides reliable position and heading data is a unique backup solution because it allows vehicles to stay on course and maintain awareness of where they are without a GPS connection Home • PNT Library • Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications Land Vehicle Navigation in GNSS-Denied Environments for Defense Applications DOWNLOAD PDF By Anthony Full Problem We Solve In order to safely travel from one location to another during an operation, or maintain navigation capabilities in a contested environment, ground vehicle crews need ways to protect against GPS satellite signal threats and ensure that they reach their intended destination. Operating in a GNSS-denied environment presents challenges to most navigation systems, because they can either be jammed, or deceptively guided off course via spoofing attacks. An Inertial Navigation System (INS) that provides reliable position and heading data without the aid of GPS satellite signals is a unique backup solution because it allows vehicles to stay on course and maintain awareness of where they are as if they never lost connection with GPS. An INS can provide the critical current-location data and ensure that other navigation equipment continues to operate during the mission. Why Is It Important Precise location and navigation capabilities are essential for mission planning, execution and coordination with other units. Inaccurate navigation can lead to mission failure, unintended engagements, or even friendly fire incidents. Ground vehicles in defense operations often navigate in challenging environments where traditional GPS signals are contested or unreliable. This includes dense urban areas, heavily forested regions, or any areas where enemies employ electronic warfare to disrupt GPS signals. Navigating accurately in such conditions is crucial for mission success and the safety of personnel. Therefore, having a robust navigation system that can provide both location of the vehicle real time as well as its precise orientation and direction/heading is of paramount importance for defense applications. In the figure above, we can see that when a vehicle passes through an GNSS-denied area, its navigation system might be thrown off and report a different location compared to the true position. However, with an accurate INS, it can continue along the intended route as well as stay free from excessive drift. Drift occurs when the navigation system is not using external signals for navigation, but rather evolving in pure inertial conditions and over time, the accuracy worsens. Of course, there are different grades of accuracy for navigation depending on your needs. And we’ll cover the most relevant solutions next. How We Solve it Safran has developed a dependable inertial navigation system – The Geonyx – that provides route guidance in GNSS-denied environments. The Geonyx ensures that the vehicle can navigate effectively in spite of satellite signal interference. It incorporates HRG technology and, unlike GPS, INS does not rely on external satellite signals for navigation and heading. Instead, it uses motion sensors and rotation sensors to calculate the position, orientation and velocity of the vehicle based on internal data. The Geonyx will output coordinates of the vehicles current location as well as the data on its intended position to the vehicle’s battle management system (BMS). The Geonyx is able to maintain an outstanding level of accuracy of a couple meters after tens of miles of pure inertial navigation. GEONYX INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM Geonyx is a combat-proven INS solution for ground vehicles, augmenting battle management systems. With its ruggedized design, it offers a virtually unlimited and maintenance-free lifespan. It can achieve a heading accuracy as good as 0.5 mils thanks to HRG Crystal technology. It has quick and flexible alignment – even in GNSS-denied environments. DOWNLOAD PDF

CRPAs are a very useful antenna system for platforms that need to operate in environments where interference is commonly present. Uncover its power in testing. Home • Applications • CRPA Testing CRPA Testing Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna Testing What is a CRPA? • Testing a CRPA • Anechoic • Wavefront • Videos • Documents What is a CRPA? The acronym stands for Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna. CRPAs are designed to reduce the effects of RF interference or establish signals’ angle of arrival. Using multiple antenna elements, they minimize jamming signals, using null generation or null steering or maximize “truth” signals using beam forming or beam steering. CRPAs are a very useful antenna system for platforms that need to operate in environments where jamming and interference are commonly present. For this reason, CRPAs are becoming increasingly common, particularly in the Defense sector. They are an extremely effective anti-jam/spoof solution, because they adapt dynamically in response to jamming or spoofing signals. WHAT IS A CRPA What Makes a CRPA? CRPAs begin with some sort of multi-element antenna, but the real magic happens within the antenna electronics, where the RF then proceeds downstream to the GPS receiver. These items can be connected to each other in-line or in a single enclosure. Single-enclosure antennas are sometimes called “integrated CRPAs”. Fundamentally, they work the same way. Ways to Test a CRPA Testing a CRPA prior to fielding is critical − especially in applications like defense, where the stakes are high. There are several test methods for testing CRPA antennas. You should evaluate these methods, their costs and suitability for the use case to ensure that your needs are fully met. Record Replay Realistic, actual recorded data – not generated. Unable to make changes, limited test cases. Difficult to find a suitable recording environment. To record threats, you have to go where threats are. GNSS Simulator Lowest cost option due to advances in technology. Previously very expensive and complex equipment. Innovation now allows us to do some cool things. Flexibility to cover multiple test cases quickly. Anechoic Chamber A complete anechoic chamber system, including simulation equipment and an actual physical chamber. Very expensive, high effort. Physical limitations and building standards. Several potential unknowns Field Testing Bring device out in the field Staged environment and generated threats. Facilitates tangible conditions. Costly: must employ event staff, obtain threat licenses. Little control as attendee. TESTING A CRPA BroadSim Anechoic The anechoic method is the only way to test an entire system as-is, because it allows testing of both the antenna and the antenna electronics integrated in a single package without modification. Still, it requires that the chamber be an optimal size to accommodate the device or system under test, and you could be limited by the antenna setup in the chamber. Skydel auto-calibrates the system, maps the antennas, and is designed to streamline chamber setup and reduce the multiplication of hardware systems. Interference can be integrated with Skydel software or an external generator. VIEW PRODUCT ANECHOIC BroadSim Wavefront The wavefront method brings all signals for each antenna element to the antenna electronics via cables. It prioritizes the ability to have dynamic trajectories for the receiver and for the interference transmitter, which lets you do a great deal of testing. You can essentially model any scenario with an unlimited number of interferences. A wavefront system is packaged lab-ready. Although it doesn't test the antenna, the important part to test is the antenna electronics, making it a good solution for testing CRPAs. It is the lowest-cost option considering all the variables. Be aware of any limitations such as signals, jammers and spoofers, and scalability for future needs. Skydel Wavefront is scalable from two to sixteen elements, is phase coherent, performs real-time automated phase synchronization, and has built-in jamming and spoofing.
