    Jammertest 2026 seeks applications for GNSS resilience demonstrations

    Organizers of Jammertest, a large-scale trial of GNSS resilience technologies, is now open to applications. Jammertest 2026 will take place Sept. 14-18 in Norway.

    Application deadline is April 6. 

    Jammertest is an annual event held at Andøya, recognized as the largest open PNT/GNSS resilience testing event in the world. The event provides a unique opportunity to test the robustness of navigation and positioning systems. 

    For the fifth consecutive year, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Norwegian Communications Authority, Norwegian Defense Research Establishment, Norwegian Metrology Service, Norwegian Space Agency, Norwegian Mapping Authority, Avinor and Testnor will be organizing the event.

    Due to high demand, there will be an application process, and selected participants will be invited to attend. Jammertest partners reserve the right to select participants based on Norwegian national interest and needs.

    The application pertains to the entire organization and is not individual. This means that each organization only needs to submit one application.

    Hexagon | NovAtel has debuted its GNSS Resilience and Integrity Technology (GRIT), a suite of firmware features enabling situational awareness and interference mitigation tools across applications and environments.

    Available as a firmware option with NovAtel’s latest 7.08.00 release, GRIT combines NovAtel’s successful Interference Toolkit with the power of spoofing detection. Users can also choose an optional functionality enabling time-tagged snapshots of analog to digital samples through GRIT. The time-tagged digitized RF data allows users to characterize the RF environment and develop their own interference location algorithms, Hexagon | NovAtel said.

    Through situational awareness techniques like spoofing detection, time-tagged data and interference mitigation such as anti-jam technology and digital filters, GRIT builds GNSS resiliency and integrity to better protect position, navigation and timing measurements, the company added.

    “We’ve combined our world-class Interference Toolkit with new functionalities like time-tagged snapshots and spoofing detection to provide users with a comprehensive suite of mitigation tools,” said Sandy Kennedy, vice president of innovation at Hexagon’s Autonomy & Positioning Division. “Expanding our protection portfolio through this firmware suite to prioritize situational awareness and mitigation for anti-jam and anti-spoofing techniques makes it easier than ever for users across any industry to achieve assured PNT.”

    GRIT, a non-controlled firmware-only solution, is available as a firmware upgrade for all NovAtel OEM7 receivers.
