  • NTP vs PTP Understanding Time Synchronization Protocols and Choosing the Right Mission-Critical Solution

    The problem of synchronizing time to coordinate action is not just an old one, but a crucial one in our modern interconnected world. NTP and PTP, two common approaches, play a significant role in solving this problem. Discover their differences. Home • PNT Library • NTP vs PTP Understanding Time Synchronization Protocols and Choosing the Right Mission-Critical Solution NTP vs PTP Understanding Time Synchronization Protocols and Choosing the Right Mission-Critical Solution DOWNLOAD PDF By Kevin Stottler How Modern Devices Keep Perfect Timing: Understanding NTP and PTP Synchronization With the increasing connectivity of everyday devices such as phones, cars, and televisions, manually setting clocks is becoming a thing of the past. Have you ever wondered how this technology works? This post will explain and compare Network Time Protocol and Precision Time Protocol, two methods for automatically synchronizing devices over IP networks, and provide some historical context. Carrying out activities at coordinated times applies to activities as simple as meeting a friend for coffee or as complex as military operations. In earlier decades, radio systems like NIST’s WWVB broadcast were used, phone modems dialed time references, and clocks were set by hand. As computer networks grew to hundreds or thousands of nodes, it became less practical for each node to use one of these methods. This historical context is crucial to understanding the evolution of time synchronization methods. What is Network Time Protocol (NTP)? How it Works and When It’s Accurate Enough The development of the Network Time Protocol solved this problem. In a network with a thousand nodes, only a few now had to synchronize themselves directly to primary references such as radio broadcasts, satellites, or atomic clocks. NTP is hierarchical, with servers connected to primary references considered “Stratum 1.” Additional servers can synchronize with Stratum 1 servers, becoming Stratum 2, and so on. This allows more capacity to be added and the network to scale up without adding more satellite receivers or atomic clocks. Some networks also use Anycast, which directs traffic to the nearest server, or Round Robin or pooling, where DNS is used to direct clients to one of many servers. These methods distribute requests evenly among a group of servers to balance load or provide redundancy. Like many other protocols, NTP works by a client sending a request to a server and receiving a response. With NTP, the client keeps track of the time at which the request was sent (t1), the server responds with the times the request was received (t2), and the reply sent (t3) to account for processing time. The client records when the response is received (t4). Using these four timestamps, the client can estimate how long the response took from the server (path delay) and calculate the difference between its own clock and the server’s. Without this delay compensation mechanism, the client’s clock would be offset by the path delay, which can be around 50ms on the Internet. This relatively simple technique, requiring only software on most nodes, can often synchronize machines to within 10ms over the Internet, and within 1ms over local networks where routing is more predictable. The primary source of error is if the delay is not symmetrical, such as on congested networks. However, this technique is plenty accurate enough for many use cases, such as timestamping log events or messages. Public vs. Private NTP Servers: Should You Rely on Public NTP Servers? There are many public servers on the Internet that can provide accurate time for free, operated by various software vendors, telecom providers, universities, and governments. This is usually fine for synchronizing workstations. However, these services are not guaranteed, and network conditions outside local control may affect accuracy or availability. Consider deploying a dedicated local NTP server such as the Safran SecureSync to provide resilient network synchronization for use cases needing greater accuracy, availability, or control. What is Precision Time Protocol (PTP)? High Accuracy Time Sync for Critical Systems For many general use cases, NTP is plenty accurate and cost-effective. For synchronizing humans, NTP works well. However, if you’re synchronizing machines, especially fast-moving ones, you may need the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is defined in IEEE 1588 and is designed to enable tighter synchronization within a local network. PTP can usually synchronize two nodes to within microseconds, and with hardware timestamping, even sub-microsecond accuracy is possible. These are orders of magnitude better than NTP. The trade-off is greater complexity and cost to implement. There are no public servers like with NTP, so each network requires its own grandmaster to be configured at the top of the hierarchy. How PTP works: Sync Messages, Hardware Timestamps, and Network Aware Devices The protocol functions very similarly to NTP, with the timeTransmitter and timeReceiver nodes exchanging messages to calculate both the network delay and the offset of their clocks. However, the timeTransmitter initiates the exchange by sending a sync message, often as a multicast to all timeReceivers. Network interfaces designed to support PTP are also capable of hardware timestamping, recording the time when a packet is received or sent on the wire rather than relying on the operating system. Another significant difference is the behavior of the protocol when traversing routers or switches. In a PTP network, most intermediate devices like routers and switches must be PTP-aware. They should account for queuing or processing delays in passing PTP messages. These devices, referred to as either boundary clocks or transparent clocks, play a vital role in the seamless operation of the PTP network. Transparent clocks update the timestamps in the PTP messages and “transparently” pass them along. Boundary clocks act as timeReceivers to upstream devices and then act as timeTransmitters to downstream devices. Sectors where PTP is common are generally those where specialized networks are used, and increased accuracy is required. This includes telecom and other utilities, such as coordinating cellular handoffs or grid switching, high-frequency trading, and industrial automation, to ensure that separate machines can make coordinated movements. Safran offers several products, including SecureSync , that can provide PTP time, NTP and other outputs such as IRIG. For enhanced resilience, M-Code can be supported. PTP vs NTP: Key Differences in Accuracy, Use Cases, Complexity, and Cost Example Use Cases Choosing Between NTP and PTP: What’s Right for Your Application? The problem of synchronizing time to coordinate action is not just an old one, but a crucial one in our modern interconnected world. NTP and PTP, two common approaches, play a significant role in solving this problem. While NTP can synchronize humans, PTP is often needed to synchronize machines. The trade-off for the higher performance of PTP is its increased cost and complexity. Beyond PTP, a technology called White Rabbit is capable of nanosecond-level synchronization but requires dedicated hardware and infrastructure. Poor time synchronization can lead to out-of-order actions or event logs when designing a system, which can be challenging to troubleshoot. However, by considering this need earlier in the design process, scheduled tasks execute at the correct time, and logs reflect the actual time of events. This proactive approach can significantly enhance the efficiency of your system. Talk to us about NTP or PTP for your application by emailing sales@safranfs.com or filling out our inquiry form here .

  • Interference Threat Position Awareness

    The interference threat information provided from a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) combined with reliable PNT sources, such as the Safran VersaPNT and Geonyx systems, can deliver situational awareness information, such as the approximate position of interference threat sources. Home • PNT Library • Interference Threat Position Awareness Interference Threat Position Awareness DOWNLOAD PDF By Garrett Payne and Dylan Dayton Real-time interference detection for Situational Awareness (SA) The interference threat information provided from a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) combined with reliable PNT sources, such as the Safran VersaPNT and Geonyx systems, can deliver situational awareness information, such as the approximate position of interference threat sources. A CRPA was integrated with a Geonyx system and tested operationally.. The CRPA, combined with the accurate heading of the Geonyx, proved to provide robust threat direction finding abilities. Technology Used CRPA Antenna A CRPA is a type of antenna system featuring multiple antenna elements designed to enhance the resilience and performance of Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers by mitigating interference VersaPNT The VersaPNT is a robust Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) solution and can be configured to use external PNT sensors and devices which include but are not limited to a CRPA. Geonyx The Geonyx is a land true-inertial navigation, target geolocation & artillery pointing system. CRPA Interface The interference direction-finding system utilized a Novatel GAJT-710 (7-element CRPA) for detecting interference and providing information on detected signals. The GAJT-710 provides interference detection on both GPS L1 and L2 bands and can detect up to 6 simultaneous threats per band. The system parsed the data feed from the CRPA to get information of detected interference and calculate relative directions to suspected threat emitters. Geonyx Interface The interference direction-finding system utilized a Geonyx system for providing position and heading data for absolute positioning. The VersaPNT has also been used to provide position and heading data, similar to the Geonyx. With knowledge of the absolute position and heading of the system, the absolute direction to detected interference can be calculated. The CRPA provides interference relative to antenna heading. Assuming the pointing angle between the CRPA and the Geonyx is known, the relative angles of interference can be converted to absolute angles. GUI Creation and Use The prototype UI shows the threat information detected from the CRPA in real time: • Signal strength, azimuth angle, and elevation angles are shown for detected threats on L1 and L2 bands. • Lines of bearing are calculated using the absolute position and heading from the Geonyx and can be shown on a map. Future Work The prototype ran on separate hardware, so the next step of integration will be to integrate directly on existing navigation/timing systems. Systems will directly intake the CRPA feed and use internal position and heading for calculating absolute bearing to threats. Threat lines of bearing will be shown on system WebUI and updated in real time. Algorithms will be developed and refined for calculating the absolute position of threats based upon lines of bearing. With enough system movement, the changes in lines of bearing over time can be used to detect the position of threat emitters. DOWNLOAD PDF

Home • Applications • M-Code Navigate in GNSS-Denied Environments with M-Code Dive into the groundbreaking M-Code technology, a military-grade global positioning system (GPS) signal that elevates the navigation and timing capabilities of military users in various critical operations. Our proven cross-domain GPS M-code solutions harness the power of this advanced military code, engineered to withstand jamming capabilities and ensure secure communication in high-stakes military applications. Learn About M-Code REQUEST A QUOTE View M-Code Solutions REQUEST A QUOTE Learn About M-Code Understanding GPS M-Code M-Code – it is here. Public Law 111-383, Section 913 requires all military GPS user equipment purchased after FY 2017 to be M-Code capable, unless a waiver is issued by the Secretary of Defense. With Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE), or M-Code receivers, becoming available to vendors, now is the time to start getting serious about the integration and performance testing of MGUE and systems that rely on it. Currently there are two GPS security architectures – and both are available only to authorized users. The first, Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM), has been required for all newly fielded DoD GPS systems as of October 2006. It uses the GPS Precise Position Service, which is provided using encrypted signals (P(Y) Code) on two frequencies – L1 (1575.42MHz) and L2(1227.6MHz). MGUE is the second one, utilizing the M-Code signals. As one aspect of the GPS modernization program, M-Code is also an encrypted signal provided on L1 and L2 frequencies. This transition to M-Code is part of the GPS modernization program for enhanced security and accuracy. Military receivers are designed to utilize this encrypted M-Code signal for mission-critical operations, ensuring reliable and secure navigation from GPS satellites. What is MNSA? M-Code includes new cryptography: Modernized Navstar Security Algorithm (MNSA), to ensure the system is secure. The key management has been designed to make the system easier to use and manage by the end users. The encrypted details are kept very restricted and are only available to qualified persons. MNSA M-Code is currently being transmitted on 19 satellites today, and MGUE is available from several providers, so let’s get started! Advanced Encryption Standard Simulator Data Set Modernized Navstar Security Algorithm Military Navigation Utilizing M-Code Technology for Alternate Testing Methods Before today, other test methods were necessary to allow users to integrate the MGUE without access to MNSA information. AES M-Code – Rather than using the MNSA encryption, it is possible to use a known AES encryption method for testing purposes only. This method is useful to test integration, performance and specific user scenarios in an unclassified setting. M-Code SDS – Simulator Data Sets are signals created with MNSA for replay in authorized simulators. The simulator vendor does not need to know the MNSA methods to incorporate the SDS into their simulators. This method is useful for testing the security algorithms and is a replay of already created data, so no user inputs are specified. MNSA M-Code – Full testing of both the performance and the security features of the MGUE are possible. The user has full control over scenario settings with the real encryption used on the M-Code signal. This method is developed by simulator manufacturers with cooperation of the SMC Production Corps. It is only available to authorized users. Benefits of M-Code in Military Operations Over Previous P(Y) Code Signals Jamming Resistance – Using spot beams from the GPS III satellites, M-Code will be delivered to specific regions through a high gain antenna, improving the power level available to the receivers on the ground within those regions. Blue Force Electronic Attack Compatibility – Due to the modulation type of the M-Code signal, it is possible to purposely jam the commercial GPS L1 C/A signal while continuing to receive and use the M-Code signal. M-Code can also be acquired without the use of C/A code, so there is no reliance on non-military signals. Anti-Spoof – Not only is the M-Code signal encrypted, MGUE is also able to detect and reject false signals.
