Orolia Defense & Security Adds New Simulator to BroadSim Product Line ROCHESTER, NY, August 25, 2021 BroadSim Solo Brings Advanced GNSS Scenario Creation to Every Engineer’s Desk Orolia Defense & Security, the leader in M-Code solutions for Resilient PNT, has released the latest addition to its GNSS simulator family, BroadSim Solo , today at the Institute of Navigation’s Joint Navigation Conference being held in Covington, Ky. The Solo joins the BroadSim line of Skydel-powered GNSS simulators, which includes models suited for Hardware-In-The-Loop and Multi-Element Antenna/CRPA testing. See the BroadSim Solo Demo LIVE at #JNC2021 : BroadSim Solo will be demonstrated in the JNC Exhibit Hall at Orolia Defense & Security booth No. 117 today through Aug. 26. BroadSim Solo shares the same Skydel Simulation Engine that runs on a standard BroadSim, BroadSim Anechoic and BroadSim Wavefront. It supports advanced scenario creation features and the benefits provided by a software-defined architecture such as high-dynamics, 1000Hz iteration update rate and ultra-low latency of 5ms. Nearly all civilian GNSS signals can be generated through its single RF output (one frequency band at a time), along with GPS AES M-Code, jamming or spoofing signals. BroadSim Solo’s compact form factor is designed to do away with bulk, fitting nicely at a typical desk or workstation without taking it over. But it’s more than just convenience – the Solo addresses the permanent challenge that engineers face with laboratory capacity and availability. “Creating complex test scenarios can be a tedious process, especially when emulating challenged environments,” said Tim Erbes, director of engineering for Orolia Defense & Security. “Having the ability to create scripts at your desk significantly frees up lab time and space for running these important simulations. Also, scenario creation is no longer limited to one person fixed to one system. Imagine a team of engineers, each with a BroadSim Solo, simultaneously building tests. Having a whole fleet of BroadSim Solos? It’s game-changing.” BroadSim Solo with the Skydel Simulation Engine offers an intuitive user interface, comprehensive API (supporting Python, C++ and C#), automation tools and custom plug-ins that will speed up development cycles, increase performance and ultimately drive innovation. What’s even better is the BroadSim Solo’s remarkably affordable price-point. “In an effort to enhance the customer experience and expand the reach of advanced GNSS simulators, we wanted to offer an affordable solution with all of the same core features as our most advanced BroadSim systems,” said Tyler Hohman, director of products for Orolia Defense & Security. “This gives our customers the opportunity to place more simulators in the hands of engineers and scientists without sacrificing capabilities. Our hope is that customers will find value in having a simulation ecosystem that is scalable based on their requirements.” Harness the power of BroadSim Solo’s efficiency and affordability.

  • Electronic Warfare | Safran Federal Systems

    With many forms of electronic warfare in today's modern battlefield, often referred to as NAVWAR in our industry, discover tool enhancing defense capabilities. Home • Applications • Electronic Warfare Electronic Warfare There are many forms of electronic warfare in today's modern battlefield. One of the more common arenas is within the Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) realm - or what our industry refers to as NAVWAR (Navigation Warfare). With expertise that goes back 30+ years, this is where Safran Federal Systems thrives. NAVWAR and EW • Testing Capabilities • Field Solutions • Offensive Capabilities How does NAVWAR differ from other forms of Electronic Warfare (EW)? NAVWAR is a subset of Electronic Warfare that targets GPS and other PNT signals or sensors in which the warfighter depends upon. Typically, people think of GPS in the way that most people use it today – on a screen on their phone or in their car, getting you from point A to point B. But what people don’t realize is how just how many mission-critical systems rely on GPS to function, and how vulnerable it is to attack. For example, a warfighter's precise location is needed for rescue. If their systems are attacked electronically and they lose their GPS position, it can have devastating consequences. NAVWAR and EW Addressing today's challenges in Electronic Warfare From the lab to the field, Safran’s Electronic Warfare solutions back the warfighter at many crucial stages: Test, Detect, and Defeat. Safran’s proven expertise in GPS jamming & spoofing simulation and protection has enabled them with the ultimate toolkit for EW capability. Your mission can start taking advantage today by inquiring about our capabilities. INQUIRE TODAY Why is NAVWAR testing important? Protecting your systems in the field starts in the lab. How do you give warfighters the confidence that their systems will continue to perform in a theatre abundant with NAVWAR attacks? This is where Testing & Simulation are extremely important.

  • 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

GET QUOTE About RxStudio is an easy to use software platform that enables users to monitor and log GNSS receiver data in real-time. RxStudio was developed as a plug-and-play architecture compatible with over 100 GNSS receivers outputting and logging receiver data in a common format. Our engineers are constantly integrating new receivers increasing the number of supported receivers every month. RxStudio enables users to quickly visualize how their receivers are performing in real-time through data fields, color-coded tables, and position maps overlaid with google maps. RxStudio is a versatile tool that can be used in almost every single test environment. From field tests to classified laboratories, RxStudio increases performance and efficiency while reducing risk and complexity. Features You've Always Wanted RxStudio can monitor and log data from multiple receivers simultaneously. All of the data logged from connected receivers are saved to 20+ .csv files and the raw output data is saved as a binary file (.bin). The binary file that is created at the beginning of the session and closed when the receiver is disconnected, can be played back offline without the receiver being connected. Comprehensive Data Sets RxStudio provides a comprehensive set of data users to view, which is organized into several tabs. There was an issue connecting to your network. Check your connection and try again. Built-In Commands Along with being able to receive copious amounts of data from the receiver, users can also control receivers with one or many of the built-in command buttons. Cold Start GNSS device dumps all information, attempts to locate satellites and then calculates a GNSS lock. Pause Pauses the playback of a *.bin file for a GNSS Receiver Zeroize Erases and destroys all cryptographic keys and stored information within the receiver. Initialize time and/or position - Allows users to set the time and position for when the receiver comes on line either at startup or after cold start. This assists in a quicker position lock. Fast Forward Fast forwards through the playback of a *.bin file for a GNSS Receiver. Warm Start GNSS device remembers its last calculated position, almanac used, and UTC time, but not which satellites were in view. Key Receiver Allows the user to key a receiver (military) for access to precise position services and codes. Play Continues playing the recorded *.bin file for a selected GNSS Receiver. Write Message Allows users to send a custom message to the receivers. This operates as a catchall for any functionality that is not currently within RxStudio. Messages must be entered in the format specific to that receiver. Time Slide Jumps forward and backward in the file by moving the slider to the left or right.
