On 7 January, Hexagon announced an agreement to acquire Septentrio NV, a leading provider of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies.

BAE Systems has successfully demonstrated M-Code signal tracking using an Increment 2 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver, driven by its advanced Next-Generation Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). This achievement forms part of the Military GPS User Equipment (MGUE) Increment 2 Miniature Serial Interface (MSI) program, which began under a $247 million contract awarded by the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command in 2020.

In recent months and years, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been exposed to a growing number of jamming and spoofing attacks worldwide. Interference and manipulation of GNSS information can affect the accuracy of navigation and pose a threat to global shipping and trade. The gyrocompasses from Anschütz, on the other hand, are very robust and resilient.

Anschütz’s mechanical gyrocompass Standard 22 NX functions reliably and autonomously without any external information.

"From a historical perspective this was one the greatest achievements of the EU," says EUSPA Executive director Rodrigo da Costa. "Determining a position on the ground using only Galileo was essentially the first step towards shielding our autonomy and sovereignty in space." he highlights.
