Shift5 introduces GPS integrity module

 Shift5, the observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), has announced the release of the Shift5 GPS Integrity Module, the first known platform-agnostic solution applicable for military, aviation, rail, maritime, and space industries. With real-time access and analysis of onboard data, the patent pending GPS Integrity Module assesses changes in navigational position through multi-faceted anomaly detection methods, alerting operators to GPS spoofing attacks as they happen. The GPS Integrity Module enables operators today to make smarter, faster, and safer decisions at the edge based on automated detection capabilities to mitigate risks involving the manipulation of GPS signals to help ensure the accuracy and reliability of navigation. As an example, over a three-month period, the Shift5 GPS Integrity Module detected 24 instances of degraded GPS performance across the Shift5 customer base.

GPS spoofing poses significant threats to national defense and commercial transportation systems, from navigational errors to compromised operational safety — especially in contested or congested geographies.
