Title: GPS resiliency using Microchip’s BlueSky GNSS Firewall

Presenter: Greg Wolff

Abstract:
The vulnerability of GNSS systems to various signal incidents is well documented. As quoted from the recent Executive Order from the White House: “Because of the widespread adoption of PNT services, the disruption or manipulation of these services has the potential to adversely affect the national and economic security of the United States. To strengthen national resilience, the Federal Government must foster the responsible use of PNT services by critical infrastructure owners and operators.”

The BlueSkyTM GNSS Firewall protects already deployed GNSS systems by providing a cost-effective overlay solution installed between existing GNSS antennas and GNSS systems. Similar to a network firewall, the BlueSky GNSS Firewall protects systems inside the firewall from untrusted sky-based signals outside the firewall.
