FAQ
What's the biggest mistake in GPS evidence collection for maritime claims?
Configuring GPS tracking for efficiency rather than evidence. Most systems filter out 'invalid' positions with high HDOP or low satellite counts, which are exactly the signals that indicate active spoofing or jamming. By...

Why can't standard GPS tracking maps prove spoofing to insurers?
Standard maps only show processed location points, which is the result of spoofing. Insurers need proof of the cause - the fake signals themselves. They require technical data from the GPS controller showing signal anoma...

What specific data from a GPS controller is needed to prove GPS spoofing for insurance claims?
You need raw RF-level evidence including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) anomalies, sudden changes in reported altitude, signal authentication flags, raw carrier phase measurements, full timestamped NMEA sentences (not just...

What are the risks of using standard GPS trackers in conflict zones?
Standard GPS trackers become liabilities when their single-frequency signals are jammed or spoofed, creating dangerous blind spots in situational awareness. The highest risk is making decisions based on false data - your...

When should logistics operations upgrade to frequency agile GNSS receivers?
Upgrade becomes necessary when standard tracking fails repeatedly on critical runs, especially in known contested corridors. If you're experiencing data blackouts despite using geofencing alerts and secondary data checks...

What's the difference between multi-band support and true frequency agility?
Multi-band support means a device can physically access multiple frequency bands, but true frequency agility requires intelligent anti-jam and anti-spoof software algorithms. A receiver might access L2 bands but without...

How does a frequency agile GNSS receiver maintain signal in conflict zones?
A frequency agile GNSS receiver constantly monitors multiple GNSS frequency bands (L1, L2, L5) and checks for signal strength and integrity. When it detects interference or signal degradation on one band, it rapidly retu...

When should a fleet upgrade their management software for electronic warfare resilience?
Upgrade when the cost of a single failure (lost high-value shipment, safety incident from misrouted vehicles, or regulatory fine for falsified logs) exceeds the investment in a resilient system. If operations are in or e...

Can military-grade GPS hardware alone protect against electronic warfare attacks?
Military-grade (M-Code) GPS receivers do resist jamming and spoofing better, but they're costly and often export-controlled. More importantly, hardware is just one layer - real resilience comes from software's ability to...

What are the main compliance risks from GPS spoofing attacks on commercial fleets?
The biggest compliance risks are falsified electronic logging device (ELD) records and location-stamped proof-of-delivery documents. If a driver's legally mandated hours-of-service log shows them parked while they were a...

How can I distinguish between GPS jamming/spoofing and regular bad GPS signal in my fleet?
Bad GPS signal typically causes dropouts and general inaccuracies. Jamming causes complete, simultaneous loss of GPS across all vehicles in a specific area with sharp geographic boundaries. Spoofing is more subtle - look...

What are the options for improving dark ship monitoring systems by 2026?
The options include patching current systems with better integration logic to seamlessly merge AIS and GPS Controller data into a single reliable vessel track, or replacing systems with platforms built for dual-source fu...
