Far above your<\/span> head, constellations of satellites<\/a> are working constantly to provide the positioning, navigation, and timing systems that quietly run modern life<\/a>. Known as the global navigation satellite system, or GNSS, signals from these satellites provide the foundation for mobile networks, energy grids, the internet, and GPS. And increasingly, their dependability is under threat.<\/p>\n

GPS signals can be jammed<\/a>\u2014deliberately drowned out with other powerful radio signals\u2014and spoofed, where erroneous signals are released to fool positioning systems. GPS interference has been documented in Ukraine<\/a>, the Middle East<\/a>, and the South China Sea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But startup SandboxAQ believes that artificial intelligence, when combined with navigation systems that read Earth\u2019s magnetic field, known as MagNav, could mitigate these threats to GNSS. \u201cOur technology does not replace [GNSS], but can enrich existing navigation systems to improve safety and serve as an alternative primary navigation source in case of GPS outages,\u201d says Luca Ferrara, general manager of SandboxAQ\u2019s navigation department<\/a>.<\/p>\n
