Publication number: 20230417928Abstract: Examples in accordance with this disclosure provide a system for detecting a spoofed signal, the spoofed signal comprising position-navigation-timing (PNT) data. The system can include a first antenna and a second antenna, both configured to receive one or more first signals from one or more navigation satellites. The first antenna and second antenna can be configured to be separated by a first distance. The system can include a first receiver coupled to the first antenna and a second receiver coupled to the second antenna, where each antenna is configured to receive one or more signals from the respective antenna. Each of the first receiver and the second receiver are configured to extract a respective carrier phase data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: The MITRE CorporationInventors: Erik T.

Patent number: 11237273Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for detecting spoofing of a navigation device. A plurality of anti-spoofing techniques are provided. The plurality of anti-spoofing techniques detect interference with data provided by one or more navigation devices for a plurality of threat situations. Positioning, timing and frequency characteristics associated with the one or more navigation devices are analyzed in order to identify a threat situation among the plurality of threat situations. Based on the identified threat situation one or more of the anti-spoofing techniques are executed. The one or more anti-spoofing techniques can be executed in parallel in order to provide various anti-spoofing detection techniques at the same time.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2019Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: THE MITRE CORPORATIONInventors: Darrow Paine Leibner, Erik T.

Positioning, navigation, and timing device interference and spoofing detector with timing mitigation
Patent number: 10509130Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for a GNSS interference and spoofing fast detection and mitigation system. A RF signal associated with a PNT device, such as a GNSS receiver, is received. The received RF signal is split into a plurality of sub-data signals. The received RF signal is re-routed by sending each of the plurality of sub-data signals to at least one of a processing module and a switching module. An anomaly associated with a second sub-data signal is detected. The anomaly is detected during a capture period of an adversarial attack on the PNT device, prior to corruption of any associated system depending on outputs from the PNT device. An output of a first sub-data signal of the plurality of sub-data signals is terminated based on the anomaly detected with the second sub-data signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2014Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: The MITRE CorporationInventors: Arthur L. Snyder, Erik T. Lundberg, Keith F. McDonald, Michael L. Cohen -
