UrduA cutting-edge study has uncovered crucial new insights into the effects of equatorial plasma bubbles (EPBs) on aircraft navigation systems, shedding light on the hidden dangers posed by these atmospheric phenomena. These disturbances in the ionosphere can interfere with satellite signals, putting aviation safety at risk. The research focuses on developing a predictive model to evaluate how EPBs disrupt ground-based systems vital for guiding planes safely during landing.

GPS alternative for drone navigation using visual data from stars
A surge in GPS jamming attacks in drone warfare has inspired Australian researchers to develop a celestial navigation system that uses visual data from stars rather than relying on the global positioning system.
Study asks: Can cell phone signals help land a plane?
Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories and Ohio State University are taking experimental navigation technology to the skies, pioneering a backup system to keep an airplane on course when it cannot rely on global positioning system satellites.
Tricking the Brain’s inner GPS: Grid cells responses to the illusion of self-location
Dr. Hyuk-June Moon from the Bionics Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), in collaboration with Prof. Olaf Blanke’s team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), has successfully induced self-location illusions with multi-sensory virtual reality (VR) in the MRI scanner and observed corresponding changes in the human brain’s grid cell activity.
Scientists can tell where a mouse is looking and located based on its neural activity
Researchers have paired a deep learning model with experimental data to “decode” mouse neural activity.
Using satellite data to help direct response to natural disasters
Researchers have developed a way to use satellite imaging data to create 3D images that could quickly detect changes on the Earth’s surface, a new study says.
DHS S&T Transitions Resilient PNT Conformance Framework to IEEE for Standards Development
DHS S&T transitioned the Resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Conformance Framework to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers to further refine into international industry standards.
DHS Publishes Free Resources to Protect Critical Infrastructure From GPS Spoofing
DHS S&T announced today it has published the Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Integrity Library and Epsilon Algorithm Suite to protect against Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing, or deceiving a Global Positioning System (GPS) device through false signals.
Neuroscientists discover how our brains track where we and others go
As COVID cases rise, physically distancing yourself from other people has never been more important. Now a Nature study reveals how your brain navigates places and monitors someone else in the same location.
DHS S&T Publishes the Resilient PNT Conformance Framework
DHS S&T published the Resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Conformance Framework today. PNT services, such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), is a national critical function that enables many applications within the critical infrastructure sectors.
Upcoming S&T Guidance Will Improve Critical Infrastructure Resilience
Framework will improve critical infrastructure’s ability to prevent, respond, and recover from GPS disruptions.
GPS isn’t just for road trips anymore
Precision agriculture technologies can improve efficiency on smaller farms
DHS S&T Invites Critical Infrastructure Owners & Operators to GPS Spoofing Test Event
DHS S&T announced today an opportunity for critical infrastructure owners & operators and GPS equipment manufacturers to test their equipment against GPS spoofing. The 2020 GPS Testing for Critical Infrastructure (GET-CI) event will be held later this year and is the third in this series of test opportunities.
