UrsaNav sponsors the Royal Institute of Navigation’s Marine Navigation Special Interest Group Reception

September 14, 2023 – UrsaNav is pleased to have been a sponsor at the Royal Institute of Navigation’s Marine Navigation Special Interest Group reception held on board THV Galatea, moored alongside HMS Belfast, during London International Shipping Week. A key theme of the reception was the evolution of navigation for autonomous vessels. THV Galatea has previously conducted sea trials where it was able to continuously operate and perform its mission by using eLoran during periods of intentional GPS jamming by the UK Government. The ability for continuous operations during GNSS jamming and/or spoofing events is crucial for the safety of manned and unmanned (i.e., autonomous) shipping operations. eLoran provides the accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity required for continuity of operations in the maritime, general aviation, land-mobile, and time and frequency sectors.
