GNSS Signal Spoofing

Understanding how spoofing works and how to mitigate the potential impact of an attack is a key concern for developers of both commercial and military/government applications.

In this paper, Spirent considers:

What GNSS spoofing is
How spoofing attacks work
What mitigation strategies are available to developers and integrators
How to test a system for spoofing robustness
How Spirent helps customers to develop reliable, high performance products

This paper aims to show that testing using an RF constellation simulator—either where authentic and replica signals are generated by the simulator, or where the authentic signals are obtained from the live sky and the replica signals are generated by the simulator—is relatively straightforward if a ‘system of systems’ approach is applied to the test planning.
