VIAVI Solutions has announced a partnership with Ground Control, a provider of satellite communications and positioning solutions, to integrate its Secure µPNT STL-1000 into Ground Control’s RockFLEET Assured asset tracking and navigation system.
In today’s complex global landscape, having resilient Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities is essential for protecting critical infrastructure and assets. Solely relying on GPS or GNSS makes systems vulnerable to jamming, spoofing, and other disruptions. VIAVI’s Secure µPNT STL-1000 is a compact, software-defined receiver that works with VIAVI’s SecureTime altGNSS LEO services. It provides accurate timing with holdover capability, allowing reliable tracking, authentication, and assured navigation even in Denied, Degraded, or Disrupted Space Operational Environments (D3SOE).
“With jamming and spoofing now a core element of cyber warfare, resilient PNT solutions are no longer optional,” said Doug Russell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Aerospace and Defense, VIAVI. “The Secure µPNT STL-1000 enables assured, uninterrupted operations, especially in contested environments. Its compact size and low power consumption makes it ideal for applications that require an extremely small, low-power, secure, resilient embedded PNT receiver.”
“As the frequency of jamming and spoofing continues to rise, reliance on GPS/GNSS signals alone increasingly exposes both commercial and military operations to risk,” said Alastair MacLeod, CEO of Ground Control. “Integrating VIAVI’s Secure µPNT STL-1000 into RockFLEET Assured delivers a trusted secondary position source, strengthening resilience for mission‑critical operations across defense, maritime and critical infrastructure environments.”
RockFLEET Assured is a marine-grade Assured Position, Navigation and Timing (A-PNT) solution designed to support maritime vessel navigation and oversight in GNSS-denied environments.
