GNSS spoofing is a technique where attackers manipulate positioning data to mislead receivers, and it's on the rise with the escalation of geopolitical conflicts. But the effects of these cyberwarfare tactics reach beyond military targets, impacting commercial aviation, autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics, fleet management, and more.
Also in this issue: a deep dive into robotic lawn mowers and some resources for new Swift customers.
Swift Navigation News
When GPS is Under Attack, We Need Back-Ups On June 13, following reports of Israeli airstrikes on Iran, interference rates in the Strait of Hormuz spiked. GPSJam.org, a service that tracks satellite signal interference, now reports medium-level disruption (between 2% and 10%) across the Gulf region. This is no isolated blip, but part of a pattern: electronic warfare is increasing in global hotspots. It’s also a warning.
Defending Against Spoofing with GNSS Corrections GNSS spoofing is no longer a theoretical risk—it is a rapidly evolving threat that affects aviation, autonomous systems, logistics, and other industries that depend on precise positioning. As spoofing incidents rise, implementing robust countermeasures is essential to ensure accuracy, reliability and security in GNSS-based navigation.
Industry Spotlight: Robotic Lawn Mowers
RTK for Robotic Lawn Mowers: Insights from Swift's Customer Deployments The robotic lawn mower (RLM) market is experiencing rapid innovation, driven by demand for greater autonomy and precision. To explore the evolving landscape of RLM navigation and the role of high-precision GNSS, we sat down with Alberto Bushell, Regional Director, EMEA at Swift Navigation. With an engineering degree in geomatics and over 15 years in the GNSS industry, spanning both technical and commercial roles, Alberto brings unparalleled expertise in delivering advanced positioning solutions, particularly in the autonomous robotics sector.
