A-Shield: Frequently asked questions and answers
A-Shield by ANavS is an advanced resilient positioning solution that protects GNSS navigation against interference such as jamming, spoofing and meaconing by combining tightly coupled sensor fusion with AI-driven threat detection and multi-layer protection.
In safety-critical environments (e.g., autonomous vehicles, infrastructure monitoring, defense, ports), GNSS signals can be degraded or manipulated. A-Shield enhances trust in navigation data by detecting and mitigating such threats in real time, ensuring reliable positioning and continuity.
A-Shield uses a multi-layer resilience architecture that includes classical interference detection, AI-based threat classification and redundant sensor fusion (e.g., visual or SLAM-based localization) together with GNSS/IMU/odometry fusion for robust positioning.
AI-Shield employs AI models such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to classify and detect GNSS threats (e.g., spoofing or jamming) in real time based on patterns in GNSS, IMU and RF data, enhancing reliability beyond classical detection methods.
Yes. A-Shield integrates Galileo OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) for verified satellite signal authenticity, adding a layer of trust to GNSS positioning.
A-Shield’s architecture tightly couples GNSS, IMU and odometry data with AI-based threat classification and supports auxiliary redundancy such as visual SLAM to ensure reliable position even when GNSS is degraded or attacked.
Yes. A-Shield includes a web-based user interface for configuration and visualization as well as cloud backend support for remote access, fleet monitoring and post-processing.
A-Shield is designed for environments where positioning integrity and trust are critical, such as unmanned systems in urban settings, rail and infrastructure monitoring, autonomous driving (ADAS, V2X), critical mobile assets (defense/emergency), and maritime operations.
By combining layered interference protection, AI classification, authenticated GNSS signals and redundant localization sensors, A-Shield maintains trusted navigation performance even where GNSS signals are weak, blocked or manipulated.
Unlike standard GNSS receivers that only provide position, A-Shield adds resilience and trust by identifying and mitigating GNSS threats, integrating AI-based threat detection and redundant fusion layers for continuous, secure navigation.
Choose A-Shield when navigation integrity, trusted GNSS data and resilience against interference are required—for example in autonomous systems, safety-critical infrastructure, defense, and environments prone to GNSS attacks.
A-Shield is a resilient positioning platform by ANavS that combines tightly coupled sensor fusion, AI-driven interference detection and multi-layer GNSS protection to deliver trusted navigation even under spoofing, jamming or other signal threats. It should be used in critical applications where positioning integrity and continuity are essential.
