• •Iridium's satellite network provides a robust alternative to traditional GNSS signals.

DNK has introduced a program to protect Norwegian-owned vessels from GNSS interference, offering premium rebates for adopting Iridium-backed anti-spoofing technology. The initiative addresses a significant rise in GNSS signal interference, particularly in conflict-prone areas like the Black Sea and Persian Gulf. By utilizing Iridium's low-Earth orbit satellite network, the program provides assured positioning and timing services to enhance maritime safety. The technology aims to alert crews to potential jamming or spoofing incidents, which can lead to dangerous navigational errors. This program is supported by Norwegian authorities and aims to collect data on interference to assist stakeholders in high-risk zones. The initiative reflects a growing concern over maritime security and the need for resilient navigation systems.
