Industrial players face significant difficulties in assessing the vulnerability of their GNSS solutions against interference threats. They are unable to make informed decisions to protect themselves against the feared risks. The effects vary considerably from one type of jamming to another, and from one GNSS receiver to another. As far as spoofing attacks are concerned, countermeasure devices are beginning to be integrated into receivers, particularly with the availability of the OSNMA service. However, it is important to ensure that they are properly implemented and able to effectively cover the most common attack techniques. In this context, test laboratories have a role to play. In particular, GUIDE-GNSS will propose test methods to assess the detection and mitigation capabilities of the DUT:

• disturbed by interfering signals
• spoofed by pirate substitution signals

The consortium members are in line with their activities:

• FDC, as GNSS expert specialized in GNSS attacks,
• ACTIA, as integrator of automotive positioning systems, and Gustave Eiffel University, as research laboratory involved in the European GNSS standardization.

Product certification is intended to enhance user confidence. In the major transport industries, decision-makers need to assess risk objectively and realistically.
