Assured PNT: keeping critical operations on track

Charlotte Davies

Global navigation satellite systems have become the invisible fabric that holds modern logistics, energy, defence and autonomous operations together.

Yet GNSS signals are weak by nature and are being increasingly exposed to deliberate jamming and spoofing. When the signal is denied, or manipulated, positioning and timing can drift in seconds – with costly or dangerous consequences.

Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A‑PNT) remedies this risk: it delivers centimetre‑class accuracy while actively detecting and rejecting interference. The latest A‑PNT receivers integrate several layers of resilience:

  • AIM+ interference‑mitigation – proven in DHS and NATO jammer trials, it suppresses everything from narrow‑band noise to complex pulsed attacks.
  • Multi‑layer anti‑spoofing with signal‑anomaly monitoring and cryptographic authentication (e.g., Galileo OSNMA).
  • Real‑time RF situational awareness – built‑in spectrum plots and threat flags give operators instant feedback on jamming direction and severity.

Flexible form factors – compact OEM modules, ruggedised IP68 boxes, single‑ or dual‑antenna GNSS, and GNSS/INS hybrids to suit every platform.

Where A‑PNT makes the difference

  • Tactical radios, C4ISR nodes and autonomous vehicles operating in NAVWAR zones
  • Timing distribution for power grids, telecom and financial networks
  • Survey and robotics working near heavy machinery or reflective structures

Milexia’s added value

As Septentrio’s distribution partner, Milexia bridges world‑class A‑PNT technology with local integration expertise:

  • Application engineering – selecting the optimum receiver, antenna and correction service for your SWaP‑C envelope.
  • Rapid prototyping – evaluation kits, antennas and cabling from stock to accelerate design cycles.
  • Lifecycle support – from pre‑sale testing to field deployment, with secure firmware‑update management.

Whether you need to harden an existing platform or design a new autonomous system from scratch, Milexia delivers the assured PNT building blocks that keep missions on course – even when the RF environment is working against you.

Assured PNT: keeping critical operations on track

Charlotte Davies

I sistemi globali di navigazione satellitare sono diventati il tessuto invisibile che sostiene la logistica moderna, l’energia, la difesa e le operazioni autonome.

Tuttavia, i segnali GNSS sono intrinsecamente deboli e sono sempre più esposti a jamming e spoofing intenzionali. Quando il segnale viene negato o manipolato, il posizionamento e il timing possono degradarsi in pochi secondi, con conseguenze costose o pericolose.

L’Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) risponde a questo rischio: fornisce una precisione centimetrica rilevando e contrastando attivamente le interferenze. I più recenti ricevitori A-PNT integrano diversi livelli di resilienza:

  • AIM+ per la mitigazione delle interferenze – testato in prove con jammer condotte da DHS e NATO, sopprime tutto, dal rumore a banda stretta fino ad attacchi pulsati complessi.
  • Anti-spoofing multilivello con monitoraggio delle anomalie del segnale e autenticazione crittografica (es. Galileo OSNMA).
  • Feedback immediato RF – grafici di spettro integrati e indicatori di minaccia forniscono agli operatori un feedback immediato sulla direzione e sull’intensità del jamming.

Formati flessibili – moduli OEM compatti, unità rugged IP68, configurazioni GNSS a singola o doppia antenna e soluzioni ibride GNSS/INS per adattarsi a qualsiasi piattaforma.

Quando A‑PNT fa la differenza

  • Tactical radios, C4ISR nodes and autonomous vehicles operanti in ambienti NAVWAR
  • Timing distribution per reti elettriche, telecomunicazioni e infrastrutture finanziarie
  • Attività di rilievo e robotica in prossimità di macchinari pesanti o strutture riflettenti

Il valore aggiunto di Milexia

In qualità di partner Septentrio, Milexia unisce tecnologie A-PNT di livello mondiale a competenze locali di integrazione:

Ingegneria applicativa – selezione del ricevitore, dell’antenna e del servizio di correzione più adatti ai vincoli SWaP-C del tuo progetto.
Prototipazione rapida – kit di valutazione, antenne e cablaggi disponibili a stock per accelerare i cicli di sviluppo.
Supporto lungo il ciclo di vita – dai test pre-vendita alla messa in campo, con gestione sicura degli aggiornamenti firmware.

Che si tratti di rendere più resiliente una piattaforma esistente o di progettare da zero un nuovo sistema autonomo, Milexia fornisce gli elementi chiave per un PNT affidabile, capace di mantenere la missione sulla giusta rotta anche quando l’ambiente RF è ostile.

Sourcing electronics in an eco-friendly world

Charlotte Davies

Is there such a thing as ‘Eco-friendly’ components?

The term ‘eco-friendly’ isn’t readily translated to the world of electronics. While recycled materials may exist for some components, their availability and performance often lag behind their virgin counterparts.

Additionally, the complex nature of electronic devices makes it difficult to pinpoint the true environmental impact of individual components during production and disposal.

Tracing the full lifecycle of an electronic component

Ethical sourcing practices demand scrutiny at every step. From raw material extraction to manufacturing and transportation. Identifying and working with suppliers who prioritise fair labour, responsible mining and minimal environmental footprint, adds another layer of complexity to the already challenging procurement process.

The obsolescence dilemma

Electronics with extended lifespans are crucial for sustainability. But this requires readily available components over long periods. Unfortunately, planned obsolescence and rapid technological advancements often render components obsolete quickly. Thus, leaving manufacturers grappling with hard-to-find replacements that may not align with eco-friendly sourcing principles.

Innovation, e-waste and resource depletion

The constant push for innovation in electronics offers opportunities for more efficient and sustainable technologies. However, the rapid introduction of new components creates pressure for frequent upgrades. Therefore leading to e-waste and resource depletion. The antithesis of an environmentally conscious approach.

Helping you break the cycle

Whistler’s commitment to ethical sourcing extends beyond their own operations. They collaborate with a vetted network of global suppliers who share their values, encouraging responsible practices, fair labour conditions, and efforts to reduce environmental impact.

Repurposing and extending eco-friendly legacy designs

If you’re faced with obsolescence challenges, our team will work with you to explore alternative uses for existing components or help identify suitable replacements with minimal environmental impact. This extends the life of existing parts and avoids unnecessary production of new ones.

Whistler’s commitment goes beyond simply finding components

The road to eco-friendly electronics is paved with challenges. But by acknowledging them and actively seeking solutions, manufacturers can become responsible innovators, paving the way for a more sustainable future. Whistler, a Milexia company, aims to act as your guide. Helping you navigate the complexities of sourcing hard-to-find components while confidently minimising your environmental impact. Remember, every step towards a more sustainable future starts with responsible choices, and we are here to empower you to make them.
