Event Summary

UL Solutions announced a partnership with Ground Control to integrate its Secure µPNT STL-1000 into Ground Control's RockFLEET Assured asset tracking and assured navigation solution. This integration aims to provide resilient Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) capabilities, especially in Denied, Degraded, and Disrupted Space Operational Environments (D3SOE), where GPS/GNSS signals are vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. The Secure µPNT STL-1000 is a compact software-defined receiver that operates with UL Solutions's SecureTime altGNSS LEO services, delivering precise timing with holdover capability. RockFLEET Assured is a marine-grade A-PNT solution designed for maritime vessel navigation in GNSS-denied environments. Doug Russell of UL Solutions and Alastair MacLeod of Ground Control emphasized the critical need for such resilient PNT solutions in today's contested global environment.
