TeleOrbit GmbH of Nuremberg, Germany, announced that it has implemented testing capability for Galileo’s Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) aboard the company’s GNSS Receiver with Open Software Interface (GOOSE). As the threat of GNSS spoofing continues to grow, authentication of signals represents a safeguard for industry, vital infrastructure and safety-critical GNSS applications, including autonomous vehicles. As yet there is no authentication service available, but Galileo will be first to the market with scheduled launch in 2023. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the European GNSS Agency (GSA) will soon start an initial testing phase. “We will be one of the few out there who have this feature enabled in a receiver, so for anyone interested in using signal authentication in their research or products, we have a well-proven, well-tested receiver on the market,” said Daniel Seybold, TeleOrbit COO. “We have received initial feedback from first customers and the EC.” The OS-NMA functionality is a software implementation by TeleOrbit, so customers who have the equipment can do a firmware update to equipment already in the field.
