Description

The new Spirent PNT X simulation system is designed to deliver unprecedented performance in PNT simulation and testing. It offers the highest fidelity and most signal sources in a single test platform to address the future of enhanced autonomy, safety, efficiency, and precision.

As developers look beyond GNSS alone to address increasingly complex positioning challenges, PNT X brings together L-band, S-band, and alternative navigation (AltNav) signals into one innovative, compact, and flexible system.

Some of the features and capabilities of PNT X include: patented I/Q spatial awareness capability; an enhanced controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) testing interface; the highest available continuous dynamic range for jamming evaluation; and a standard update rate of 2 kHz for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and high-dynamics vehicle testing.

Along with a host of other groundbreaking enhancements, PNT X is the world's most advanced test solution for mission-critical systems and NAVWAR robustness.

A new benchmark for CRPA testing

PNT X offers an intuitive and configurable approach to defining CRPA scenarios, delivering flexible and powerful jamming and advanced spoofing capabilities. Whether conducted or over-the-air, PNT X supports 16+ element CRPAs, continuous high dynamic range for interference signals, and a carrier phase-aligned wavefront enabled by its purpose-designed and optimised SDR technology.

Approved testing for approved users

Through its flexible architecture PNT X enables authorized users to test using GPS Directorate approved MNSA M-Code, AES M-Code and server-based SDS M-Code, SA/A-S, and industry-first RMP. PNT X also supports Galileo PRS signals through an established partnership with Fraunhofer IIS.

Protect against threats

Jamming and spoofing are increasing in scale and in sophistication. Designed to help protect your systems in the harshest environments, PNT X is the most powerful, capable and realistic NAVWAR test platform available today. It employs a range of technologies to deliver unrivalled dynamic range and an unlimited range of spoofing and jamming threats.

Interoperability at its finest

In addition to the powerful SimREMOTE and NI LabVIEW interfaces, PNT X supports a variety of programming languages and platforms via gRPC, such as C++, Java and Python. The embedded Spyder software provides a Python Integrated Development Environment for effective test automation, quick scenario control and comprehensive post-processing analysis.

Future-proof your PNT

In addition to the established SimINERTIAL feature, PNT X supports S-band, custom waveform generation and LEO PNT as standard. Through its patented I/Q spatial awareness capability, realistic dynamics are applied to I/Q files in real-time in the same way as native GNSS signals, creating the possibility for the generation of infinite novel PNT signals.

Over-the-air testing

Leverage the power of PNT X within anechoic chamber environments to test the whole PNT solution including the antenna. With individual and combined output modes from the same system, Spirent delivers powerful and innovative solutions ranging from fixed antenna array setups to advanced zoned chamber solutions with positioners and highly realistic multipath modeling.

Enhanced SimGEN control software

PNT X is powered by SimGEN, the most comprehensive GNSS and PNT simulation software. With its unmatched capability and performance for scenario definition, execution, and data management, SimGEN now introduces cutting-edge 3D scenario support and elevates user experience to new heights.

Description

Configurable according to your requirements, the Portable Simulator enables high precision testing that can move from location to location. Whether in the lab or in the field, and whether conducted or radiated, the Portable Simulator delivers signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou and QZSS for powerful and flexible GNSS testing. In addition, the ability to closely synchronise to live sky signals offers the capability to conduct powerful in-field spoofing testing.

In-field spoofing testing

While laboratory testing offers the greatest possible control over the environment, testing of the fully integrated product in its final form factor is often carried out in a live sky environment. The Portable Simulator brings the control and integrity needed to this environment, enabling powerful spoofing testing using real-world signals. The capability to synchronise to live sky signals make it the perfect tool to facilitate advanced testing — from trajectory to navigation data spoofing.

Remote location testing

Due to high power requirements, form factor and weight, most lab-based test equipment cannot easily be moved. However, portable solutions often lack the required precision and realism, as well as a truly flexible and feature-rich control software platform. The portable simulator enables users to perform powerful and reliable testing between different locations without compromising on performance or useability.
