Simulating Contested RF Environments to Validate PNT System Resilience

Positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) systems are vulnerable to navigation warfare (NAVWAR) tactics. Threats span sophisticated radio frequency (RF) jamming and spoofing techniques, which can disrupt operations. Repeatable, realistic simulation helps to understand and mitigate vulnerabilities, so PNT systems can reliably perform in real-world contested environments. Comprehensive NAVWAR testing can involve models ranging from high-dynamic trajectories and controlled reception pattern antennas (CRPAs) to encrypted global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals, complex jamming, spoofing, and more.

Evaluating PNT robustness requires a simulation system capable of generating realistic NAVWAR scenarios. It must combine the broadest range of capabilities to address high-dynamic trajectories, encrypted signals, non-standard navigation signals, jamming attacks, spoofing threats, environmental effects, and CRPA testing. This level of flexibility supports the development of a comprehensive NAVWAR testbed, qualifying against conditions and attacks that are difficult to recreate in the real world.
