Why aviation needs space-based surveillance now, not later

The aviation industry relies heavily on GNSS signals (mainly GPS) to operate aircraft safely and efficiently.

Understanding multilateration (MLAT) for more precise aircraft positioning free from interference

In recent years, the aviation industry has faced an alarming surge in disruptions to navigation systems due to Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference, jamming, and Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing.

The future of contrail verification: Integrating ground observations with ADS-B and weather models

In 2019, the warming effects of contrails – thin clouds formed by aircraft – may have been over twice as large as the warming caused by aviation’s cumulative CO2 emissions since the 1940s.

How ADS-B data facilitates sustainability efforts in aviation

The aviation industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, which requires innovative approaches and precise data to support sustainable practices.

Unclouding aviation security: The growing threat of GPS spoofing 

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) like GPS have become integral to our daily lives. These systems help us navigate the quickest route to work or find a nearby restaurant. But what happens when these signals are tampered with?

Harnessing ADS-B data for smarter drone risk assessment strategies

Drones are reshaping industries from logistics to surveillance, necessitating stringent safety measures as they navigate low-altitude airspace densely populated with manned aircraft.
