Shift5 GPS Integrity Module

Shift5

Enabled by one of the smallest, lightest, & lowest-power single pieces of hardware available. Operators and leaders still have little to no visibility into their vehicles' onboard data. Shift5 captures and analyzes serial bus data on the platform in real time, providing the anomaly detection and operational intelligence required to act.

Shift5's GPS Integrity Module is enabled by the Shift5 Manifold, a protocol-agnostic, U.S.-manufactured, configurable passive bus data-collecting computer engineered to fit within the ARINC 600 2 MCU form factor.

Using the data collected, translated, and streamed off-board the vehicle, Shift5 offers insights, providing real-time alerting and historical trends to assure mission readiness and cyber survivability. Our innovative technology enables military systems and commercial aviation, rail, and maritime vehicles to deny deception and ensure the integrity of GPS signals.

FEATURES

- Physics-Based Spoofing Detection helps determine if changes in position are physically possible, providing a simple yet effective method for initial spoofing detection.
- Advanced Detection Capabilities can analyze enriched data from all sources to detect subtle, sophisticated spoofing attempts, which is essential for identifying more complex spoofing strategies that might evade traditional detection spoofing techniques.
- Cockpit Alerting can provide real-time notifications to operators when the module detects GPS jamming or spoofing, helping ensure immediate awareness and faster response to potential threats.
- Seamless (SWaP Compliant) Integration with existing platforms, as well as the ability to deploy directly to onboard hardware if sufficient computing resources are available.

BENEFITS

- Enhanced Air Safety: By detecting GPS spoofing attempts, the Shift5 Platform can enhance the safety of military and commercial air operations, particularly in congested and contested areas.
- Sophisticated Detection Capabilities: Designed to use advanced algorithms to detect subtle, sophisticated spoofing attempts that might otherwise go unnoticed.
- Identification of Navigational Errors: By identifying spoofed GPS signals, the Platform helps prevent navigational errors that could lead to serious accidents or deviations from intended flight paths.
- Adaptability and Continuous Improvement: Designed for continuous refinement and improvement, the Shift5 Platform is continuously enhanced to adapt to new and evolving spoofing techniques.
- Operational Efficiency: By automating the detection process, the Shift5 Platform can reduce reliance on manual processes, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Integration into SOPs: Shift5 alerts can be integrated into existing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to help preempt contamination of other POSNAV (Positioning and Navigation) data (e.g., Inertial Nav calibration against bad GPS data)
- Actionable Intelligence: Much like surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites are mapped for avoidance today, similar heat maps can be generated immediately using data captures and improved over time with additional detections to help operators avoid specific regions.
