- Developing Simulation Environments Alongside New LEO Constellations
This whitepaper explains the importance of simulation in response to new constellations, the benefits of developing a test environment alongside the development of the constellations, and how a flexible system is best equipped for the advent of new LEO constellations... Home • PNT Library • Developing Simulation Environments Alongside New LEO Constellations Developing Simulation Environments Alongside New LEO Constellations DOWNLOAD PDF By Alaiya Tuntemeke-Winter As more technology utilizes satellites for PNT information, it is integral to develop ways to test the functionality of PNT systems before they are deployed. It has become increasingly useful to develop a test environment for LEO constellations alongside the development of the constellations themselves. A flexible simulation system that can evolve is best equipped for the advent of new LEO constellations. Developing simulation hand in hand with developing the constellation itself has several advantages. Simulation can be implemented at various stages of the process. By developing new constellations and simulation simultaneously, the PNT system can be thoroughly tested before the satellites are deployed. This can further streamline the process between the developers of the constellation and the receivers with quick feedback loops to assist in the design. It can lead to increased communication with the receiver developers and give more insight in addition to modeling. It also means that simulation capability can be available along with the introduction of the constellation itself. In the past, there have been instances of the constellation being deployed but there being few ways for the receiver manufacturers to test their solutions, slowing down the development process. By testing using simulation, developers can test functionality early in the development process, rather than awaiting deployment of the constellation for the chance to field test; receivers and systems can be tested during development for common problem scenarios, such as GPS denied environments via canyons or other outages as well as other types of vulnerabilities. This can give developers a head-start in vetting potentially unforeseen issues the receiver may experience using the new constellation. After implementation simulation can be used to repeat any problems encountered in field tests for faster and more effective testing. Fixes can be implemented in a lab setting before going out again for field testing. This can save time and resources, as there is no need to go all the way to the field test stage every time a problem arises or to test a fix. Using a simulation test bed helps to speed up the development process and to save time and money throughout. Developing simulation alongside the development of the constellation gives simulators the time they need for the capability to be ready when the constellation deploys. If simulation development does not begin until after the constellation is deployed, the development of receivers that can use the new constellation data may be slowed by the inability to test and collect data. Some types of simulators take more time to develop the ability to simulate new constellations, as they may need to develop new software, hardware, or a combination of both. Parallel development of the new constellation and the simulation test bed allows for both simulation capability and constellation availability to time align in the development process. The BroadSim product line provides a dynamic simulator within its software-defined architecture. It is “future-proof” as it can grow and change with new constellations or changes in old ones. It also takes advantage of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products to increase system performance. This means two things; one, rather than focusing on hardware improvements, the engineers can focus on the simulation side of the system. Two, upgrade cycles are possible more frequently. BroadSim provides open-source libraries and plug-ins to increase the capability of their simulation solution. One major benefit of software-defined simulation systems regarding LEO constellations is that the GPU can handle the generation of more signals than a traditional FPGA-driven simulation solution. This is because in a true software-defined system there are no fixed hardware channels limiting the number of signals that can be generated. This is especially relevant in LEO constellations as there are more satellites in LEO orbit than there are in the GNSS constellations that have been simulated in the past. Another benefit is that if the limit is ever reached, a GPU can simply be added, and the same simulation tool can continue to be used. This leads to another benefit – the flexibility of the system. New constellations can be incorporated with software instead of additional hardware. This means when new constellations are complete, developers can access those new constellations with a mere software update. Software-defined simulators evolve to support LEO constellations and more rapid development. How simulation can aid development Examples of software-defined simulation in BroadSim BroadSim is an example of this flexibility in motion. With BroadSim, new constellations and signals become available in the tool as they are introduced or are more commonly used in receivers, such as QZSS, BeiDou, and M-Code. Simulators allow users to thoroughly test how receivers or whole systems work during specific scenarios, giving them the ability to see all-in-sky satellites and terrain effects, and provide refresh rates that translate into real-time processing for fast-moving applications. This makes it possible to test acquisition time, view relative receiver power data, and collect other relevant data to further development, as well as automate commands to speed up testing. The flexibility of the system is demonstrated by its proven ability to simulate existing LEO constellations. Using BroadSim powered by Skydel, there are multiple built-in ways to create LEO constellations. One such way is using BroadSim’s plug-in tool, which has already seen success. This tool allows users to develop features and integrate them into the BroadSim user interface and real-time simulation engine. BroadSim also provides the ability to modify existing constellations with custom signals and the addition of data sets to manipulate orbital and ephemeris data. In the future, a growing list of constellations will become available for selection within the tool. Safran Federal Systems is integrating new constellations today, and can help do the same for yours. BroadSim Simulation In conclusion, developing simulation capability alongside the development of constellations is to the advantage of the engineer who will be able to test without delay. Those simulators can aid in the design process by allowing rapid testing and development, speeding up time to market, and increasing cost savings by reducing field test cycles and hours. Software-defined simulators are more equipped to handle LEO constellations. They are not limited in the number of signals they can produce via hardware; they are agile in that they can increase available constellations and capability without needing any hardware upgrades. New features and constellations are available with just a software upgrade, and the user community can create new ways to use the tool using open-source plug-ins to meet their needs. BroadSim already has initial support for LEO simulation using the plugin tool and Safran Federal Systems is actively taking inquiries from users and providers to partner with them and integrate their solution.

- Valiant 153M |GNSS Receiver Testing | Safran Federal Systems
Valiant 153M: A GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M interface card that enables simultaneous operation and testing of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) receiver and a GB-GRAM/M. Valiant 153M GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M Interface Card Valiant 153M PRODUCT | GNSS TESTING & SIMULATION Compatibility GB-GRAM Type I GB-GRAM Type II GB-GRAM-M Type I GB-GRAM-M Type II Size 4.1" x 2.9" (length x width) Weight approx. 60 grams Power < 0.5W (without GB-GRAM/M) Operating Temperature -20 ͦ C to +65 ͦ C ANY QUESTIONS? GET QUOTE About Valiant 153M is a GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M (GB-GRAM/M) interface card that allows the simultaneous operation and testing of a commercial- off-the-shelf (COTS) receiver and a GB-GRAM/M. Both receivers are powered and communicate using a single USB mini cable. By integrating a COTS receiver onto the Valiant 153M, users can perform cross-checks to determine if the military receiver is connected and communicating data properly. Both receivers communicate via the onboard USB mini or RS-232 serial connectors. The Valiant test fixture was designed to be nearly the same size as the GB-GRAM/M type I card. Applications The Valiant 153M excels within valuable criteria for testing in lab and field test environments. COTS Receiver GB-GRAM/M The integrated COTS receiver allows test engineers to confirm that their setup and receiver is properly configured. By observing the data output, engineers can know for certain that their antenna, power, and communication is successfully connected to the Valiant interface card. From there, cross-checks can be performed to make sure the military receiver is reporting the same data as the COTS receiver. The COTS can also act as another unit under test (UUT) during the field test. It is slightly larger than the type I card so that the GB-GRAM/M can be fully placed inside the case. The Valiant 153M can be powered by a USB mini cable, or a 5V wall wart providing options for test engineers. Not only does the USB mini power the board and both receivers (legacy GB-GRAM) but it can also provide data communication for both the GB-GRAM/M and the integrated Ublox receiver. Finally, with one RF input, you can provide GPS signals to two receivers allowing for more UUT’s. The proper operation of the two receivers can be examined using Safran’s software suite, RxStudio. This software suite allows a user to communicate to the receivers simultaneously and visually examine their performance (C/No, SVs tracked, SVs used, LLA, time, code types, assurance, frequency, etc).

Home • Applications • MOSA & CMOSS MOSA & CMOSS: Advancing PNT Through Open Systems Architecture What is MOSA? • What is CMOSS? • What is CMFF? • Why CMOSS? • How is CMOSS Being Implemented? • CMOSS Architecture What is MOSA? The Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) is a DoD-mandated strategy that ensures interoperability, scalability, and rapid modernization across defense platforms. CMOSS is a direct implementation of MOSA, enabling cross-service compatibility and vendor-agnostic solutions. MOSA prioritizes open standards, such as: CMOSS – Standardized architecture for C5ISR/EW systems SOSA™ – Sensor Open Systems Architecture for joint-service interoperability VITA 65 / OpenVPX™ – Open hardware standards for embedded systems By aligning CMOSS with MOSA principles, the DoD ensures that future systems are: More affordable due to vendor competition More flexible through plug-and-play technology More resilient with built-in cybersecurity & anti-obsolescence strategies What is CMOSS? CMOSS is a suite of open standards designed to reduce size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) of C5ISR and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. By enabling hardware and software interoperability, CMOSS enhances flexibility , adaptability , and modularity across military platforms. CMOSS moves away from traditional “stove-piped” systems that require separate, proprietary hardware. Instead, it leverages a modular, standards-based approach that allows multiple vendors to develop interoperable solutions. What is CMFF? The CMOSS Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) expands CMOSS-based architectures for mounted vehicle platforms, providing: Compact, ruggedized hardware for combat vehicles & mobile platforms Seamless integration of communications, EW, & SIGINT functions Standardized interfaces for rapid capability upgrades CMFF ensures that ground vehicles benefit from the same CMOSS-based advantages seen in other military domains. Key Acronyms MOSA = Modular Open Systems Approach EW = Electronic Warfare CMOSS = C5ISR/EW Modular Open Suite of Standards CMFF = CMOSS Mounted Form Factor C5ISR = Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance CMOSS and the SOSA Initiative CMOSS is a foundational component of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture (SOSA)™ initiative, which the U.S. Military actively participates in. SOSA aligns with MOSA (Modular Open Systems Approach), ensuring common standards for open, adaptable, and rapidly upgradable military systems. LEARN MORE Safran Federal Systems is a proud member of the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ Consortium. Why CMOSS? Historically, C5ISR and EW systems have been developed independently, leading to incompatibility and inefficiencies.

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.
