Enhanced Navigation Solutions for Uncrewed Surface Vessels

Introducing GPS assist, an innovative radar-based technology that serves as a reliable backup navigation system for uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). this solution is particularly crucial when GPS signals are disrupted, whether through jamming, spoofing, or other forms of interference. By integrating seamlessly with the vessel’s existing maritime radar systems, GPS assist cross-references real-time terrain and coastline data with pre-existing radar imagery stored in its database, ensuring precise and continuous latitude and longitude estimations.

Robust Detection Mechanisms

GPS Assist employs advanced algorithms to compare its calculated positions against the vessel’s reported GPS coordinates. This process effectively identifies any discrepancies that may indicate GPS signal manipulation, such as spoofing or jamming. In the event of such anomalies, the system can trigger an alert to notify other subsystems or autonomously generate an NMEA-0183 data stream containing corrected navigational data, thereby maintaining safe navigation at all times.

user-Friendly Interface and Operational Flexibility

The system features an intuitive web-based interface that allows users to configure settings easily and monitor live as well as predicted radar imagery. GPS Assist operates as an unattended server application compatible with both Windows and Linux platforms, providing essential network status updates and a user-friendly runtime control interface for seamless operation.

Conclusion

With the increasing reliance on GPS technology in maritime operations, GPS Assist stands out as a vital tool for ensuring navigational safety and reliability for uncrewed surface vessels. Its ability to function effectively in compromised signal environments makes it an indispensable asset for modern maritime navigation.
