Dimetor introduces NAVSentry: Advanced GNSS threat detection and prevention for securing critical operations

- Altenberg/Linz, Austria

In today’s fast-paced, interconnected world, reliable GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals are the backbone of countless industries, enabling precise positioning, navigation, and timing for critical operations. From aviation and drone flights across shipping and autonomous vehicles to maritime, defense, and logistics, GNSS technology ensures smooth and efficient functionality. However, the growing menace of GNSS spoofing and jamming attacks poses a serious threat, with over 40,000 incidents recorded globally each month. These invisible attacks compromise systems, disrupt operations, and create significant safety risks.

This is where NAVSentry, the latest innovation from Dimetor, enters the picture as a game-changer. Leveraging mobile network infrastructure and advanced analytics, NAVSentry delivers real-time GNSS spoofing and jamming detection, safeguarding critical operations across industries.

What is NAVSentry?

NAVSentry is an automated GNSS assurance solution designed to detect and mitigate spoofing and jamming attacks in real-time. Unlike conventional systems that rely solely on standalone GNSS receivers, or ADS-B information of spoofed aircraft, NAVSentry leverages mobile network infrastructure to deliver a scalable, cost-effective, and highly reliable solution.

By continuously analyzing GNSS signals and mobile network data, NAVSentry can:

  • Identify disruptions in real-time
  • Pinpoint interference sources with precision
  • Deliver automated alerts to mission control centers and infrastructure operators

This allows industries to take immediate action to prevent operational failures, financial losses, and safety risks.

Why GNSS assurance is a must

GNSS technology is the foundation of critical operations across multiple industries, providing essential positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data. However, GNSS spoofing and jamming - which create false location data or block signals entirely - are increasingly used to disrupt operations, cause delays, and introduce financial and safety risks. Sectors most vulnerable to these threats include:

Aviation & Air Traffic Management

GNSS ensures safe flight operations, accurate navigation, and compliance with air traffic management systems. Spoofing or jamming incidents can interfere with flight paths, disrupt communication with control centers, and compromise safety.

Drones & BVLOS operations

BVLOS operations depend on precise GNSS positioning for applications in delivery, agriculture, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response. Disruptions can lead to mid air collisions, failed missions, and regulatory non-compliance.

Maritime & shipping

Real-time tracking, safe navigation, and route optimization rely on GNSS for vessels operating in congested or high-risk waters. Signal interference can result in course deviations, collisions, and supply chain disruptions.

Telecommunications & infrastructure

Network synchronization is critical for 5G, IoT applications, and essential communications services. GNSS interference can cause timing errors, degraded service quality, and widespread connectivity failures.

Energy & utilities

Power grids and industrial systems depend on GNSS-based synchronization for operations such as energy distribution and pipeline monitoring. Disruptions can lead to system malfunctions, outages, and infrastructure failures.

Logistics & supply chain

Accurate fleet tracking, cargo monitoring, and route planning rely on uninterrupted GNSS signals. Spoofing and jamming can create costly inefficiencies, shipment delays, and operational risks.

Emergency services

During emergencies, knowing the exact location of the incident is critical. Spoofing and jamming can lead to the disruption or failure of services, failed route planning, bad resource allocation and in the worst case scenario to death as life saving services cannot be delivered.

Autonomous vehicles & robotics

Self-driving systems and industrial automation require real-time GNSS data for safe and reliable operation. Any interference can compromise navigation accuracy, disrupt workflows, and increase safety hazards.

As industries increasingly rely on GNSS for operational efficiency and safety, securing PNT data against interference is no longer optional—it is essential. NAVSentry delivers real-time GNSS interference detection, automated alerts, and proactive mitigation to protect critical infrastructure and prevent costly disruptions.

How NAVSentry works

By combining mobile network infrastructure, GNSS data, and AI-driven analytics, NAVSentry delivers:

Real-time monitoring

NAVSentry continuously scans GNSS signals and mobile network data to detect anomalies that indicate interference. By analyzing signal integrity and behavior, it identifies potential spoofing or jamming attempts as they occur.

Live digital twin technology

NAVSentry creates a live digital twin of the GNSS environment, using real-time data, simulations, and machine learning to map signal behavior. This enables proactive detection of disruptions before they impact operations.

Interference detection & localization

Once interference is detected, NAVSentry:

  • Identifies the type of disruption (spoofing, jamming, or environmental factors).
  • Maps affected regions to assess operational impact.
  • Characterizes and pinpoints the source of interference for faster resolution.

Automated alerts & notifications

NAVSentry delivers immediate notifications to air traffic control, mission command centers, and other automated systems. These alerts allow operators to take swift corrective action, reducing downtime and operational risks.

Scalable & industry-agnostic deployment

By integrating with existing mobile networks and GNSS infrastructure, NAVSentry offers a cost-effective, scalable solution that can be deployed across various industries, from aviation and maritime to telecommunications, energy, and logistics.

NAVSentry’s AI-powered analytics, real-time interference mapping, and automated mitigation strategies ensure that critical operations remain secure, uninterrupted, and resilient in the face of growing GNSS threats.

While NAVSentry and AirborneRF are independent solutions, both are developed by Dimetor and share a common goal: securing mission-critical operations across industries through advanced data intelligence, real-time monitoring, and mobile network integration.

NAVSentry: Bridging the gap between telecommunications and aviation

NAVSentry focuses on GNSS assurance, detecting and mitigating spoofing and jamming threats that could compromise positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT)-dependent industries, such as aviation, maritime, telecommunications, energy, and logistics.

AirborneRF specializes in airspace connectivity and risk assessment, enabling safe, scalable BVLOS drone operations by providing real-time insights into mobile network coverage, ground risk assessment, and alternative positioning solutions.

By combining NAVSentry’s GNSS assurance with AirborneRF’s airspace data intelligence, drone operators can achieve:

  • End-to-end situational awareness – NAVSentry ensures secure, interference-free GNSS data, while AirborneRF provides real-time airspace intelligence for drones, UAM, and aviation operations.
  • Operational resilience – While AirborneRF enhances connectivity for BVLOS operations, NAVSentry protects against signal disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted navigation and compliance with safety regulations.
  • Seamless integration for advanced use cases – Organizations leveraging mobile networks for UAVs, urban air mobility (UAM), and critical infrastructure can integrate both solutions to enhance safety, security, and efficiency.

Although NAVSentry and AirborneRF operate independently, industries that require both secure navigation and real-time connectivity insights can benefit from a combined deployment. Whether ensuring GNSS integrity in autonomous transport or safeguarding airspace operations from interference, Dimetor provides a modular approach tailored to the needs of different sectors.
