Description

Gps jamming in baltic countries.

Some customers have been experiencing Russian GPS Jamming in Baltic countries, where the GPS doesn’t return to the correct location and it has to be fully rebooted.

A way around this is would be to operate the units in GLONASS only mode and this is probably the easiest way to safeguard against GPS Jamming. The signals of the two types of satellites are very close together and it is extremely difficult to jam one frequency and keep the other frequency unaffected.

GPS, the centre frequencies are 1575.42 MHz (L1), 1227.6 MHz (L2) and 1176.45 MHz (L5).

GLONASS operates as frequency divisional multiple access (FDMA) and there are two operational centre frequencies 1602 MHz (L1) and 1246 MHz (L2) and at 1207.14 MHz (L3). GLONASS over this decade will also introduce Code Divisional Multiple Access (CDMA) similar to GPS.

GALILEO has a range of frequencies assigned in the L-band as follows:

E2 – L1 – E1 – Centre frequency 1575.42 MHz (band from 1559MHz – 1591MHz).

E5A – Centre frequency 1176.45 MHz (band from 1164 MHz – 1188 MHz).

E5B –  Centre frequency 1207.14 MHz (band from 1188 MHz – 1215 MHz).

E6 – Centre frequency 1278,75 MHz (band from 1260 MHz – 1300 MHz).

Please take a look at the current GPS160 manual, which shows how to change the DIP switches inside the units to make them operate in GLONASS only modes.

GPS160 IP Rating

The GPS160 models (GPS160, GPS160USB, GPS160F etc.) are all IP67 Rated. Units are fully waterproof and designed for permanent mounting outside.

GPS160 SOG reading standing still

This is pretty normal behaviour for a modern GNSS receiver and is a result of position “jitter” caused by multi-path signals and scintillation. Traditionally, older GPS systems used to apply a low pass filter (damping) to the calculated positions and this reduced the SOG and COG fluctuations when stationary.

With the GPS160 and its highly accurate Tri-Data technology, we decided to not apply any damping so that the readings were as accurate and with as little lag as possible. The only down side of this approach is this 0.1 Knot indication when stationary, but as soon as you start moving you get the most accurate and lowest latency output.

Do I need to change the GPS160 Operating Mode?

The default GPS160 operating mode has been optimized to work well with the maximum number of installations. It is operating in “Tri-Nav” mode and will give the same level of accuracy as any of the other “Tri-Nav” modes. In “Tri-Nav” mode, satellites from all three constellations; GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO are used to work out the most accurate possible position.

In over 90% of pleasure boat installations, the default mode is the best one to use and unless you know that your system can accept a faster update rate or can make use of the additional sentences, then we would not recommend that you change mode.

Typical applications where you might wish to change the Operating Mode, are when you are using Yacht Racing Software on a PC, where the higher 10Hz or even 18Hz “Turbo” mode might make the difference between 1st and 2nd place or if you want the system to display the satellite signal strength information.

If the GPS160 is being installed on a commercial vessel, then the “Professional” mode outputs a lot of additional information about the quality of signals, validity of the position, datum, etc. that larger commercial ship systems must have to be sure they are navigating safely. Most pleasure boat systems would not even recognize or know what to do with these extra sentences.

Finally, for specialist applications, where a customer only wishes to receive data from one satellite system, then the GPS160 can be configured to just use GPS, GLONASS or Galileo satellites.

KEY FEATURES

The GPS160 series of sensors is a high performance GPS designed for use with chart plotters

Digital Yacht have introduced a specific version of the GPS160 which is a simple replacement for older Furuno plotter and GPS systems.  Devices like the Furuno GP32, Navnet and GPS310/320 utilise a specific format for GPS data and this new sensor emulates that for easy compatibility.  Some of these older GPS sensors have suffered from technical issues with the GPS system roll over changes which can render chart plotter systems useless.  The GPS160F provides an economical and reliable solution to these problems. Please note that it cannot be connected to a GP32 display, but it can replace the GP32, outputting the same data to other Furuno devices that the GP32 provided.

In conjunction with Furuno UK, Digital Yacht have developed a special version of their popular GPS160 Smart GNSS Sensor “QuadNav”that outputs the older NMEA 0183 sentences and data format that the legacy Furuno systems can read. Now if a Furuno customer has a problem with their existing Furuno GPS (GP310/GP320/GP32/etc.) they can use the new GPS160F as a simple “drop-in” replacement for their failed positioning sensor.

The new GPS160F has been tested with a wide variety of legacy Furuno products including; the original NavNet MFDs, NavNet VX2,M1735 Radar, GP7000 and the FCV family of sounders.

Supplied with a 10m cable and new user manual with dedicated Furuno interfacing information, the GPS160F will work straight out of the box and just requires a simple 4 wire connection to the existing Furuno system.

SPECIFICATIONS

• GPS160 for legacy Furuno systems
• Refined anti-spoofing algorithm for robust performance of position and interference rejection
• Many formats of NMEA data output including datum information –user can configure through internal DIP switches
• Ultra low (<20mA) power consumption at 12V DC

KEY FEATURES

Digital Yacht have unveiled their TriNav™ GPS160, a GPS antenna with NMEA 0183. This is a new, high performance positioning sensor using GPS, Glonass, and the new Galileo satellite systems. Therefore, providing exceptional position accuracy and redundancy. Typical accuracy is better than 1m. Data can also be set to output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. TriNav™ software technology also improves positioning inaccuracy that could occur through spoofing and local interference.

The device has a variety of modes through field programming. This includes single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate, NMEA sentence structure etc.

The GPS160 with NMEA 0183 output (4800, 38400 and 115200 baud programmable). As well as a USB variant for PC, MAC and Linux. For NMEA 2000 systems, we offer a bundle with a Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA 2000 gateway. Therefore allowing the easy and flexible install of NMEA 2000 without the need for cumbersome drop cables.

The GPS160 also supports a simple external MOB (man-over-board) switch or device. When triggered, the GPS160 creates a “synthesised” AIS SART MOB message on its NMEA output. This can then interface with a local plotter to identify the MOB. Most modern plotters support this with a clear MOB icon. As well as instant bearing and distance data to navigate to the casualty.

Digital Yacht unveils GPS160 TriNav Positioning Sensor with GPS, Glonass and Galileo compatibility and a unique MOB function

Digital Yacht will unveil their TriNav GPS160, a new, high performance positioning sensor using GPS, Glonass and the new Galileo satellite systems at the Southampton Boatshow.

Designed for exceptional positioning accuracies and redundancies, typical accuracy is better than 1m and data can be set to output at up to 18Hz for smoother plotter track displays. TriNav software technology also improves positioning vulnerabilities that could occur through spoofing and local interference.

The device can be field programmed for a variety of modes such as single GNSS operation (eg Galileo only) as well as output configurations such as update rate, NMEA sentence structure etc

The GPS160 is available with a NMEA 0183 output (4800, 38400 and 115200 baud programmable) and a USB variant for PC, MAC and Linux. For NMEA 2000 systems, a bundle is available with a Digital Yacht iKonvert NMEA 2000 gateway allowing easy and flexible NMEA 2000 installation without the need for cumbersome drop cables.

The GPS160 also supports a simple external MOB (man-over-board) switch or device. When activated, the GPS160 creates a “synthesised” AIS SART MOB message on its NMEA output which can be interfaced with a local plotter for MOB identification. Most modern plotters support this with a clear MOB icon and instant bearing and distance information to navigate to the casualty.

The GPS160 is priced at £125 ex vat and is available now. Also available are wireless and SeaTalk variants for older systems.

More information at  www.digitalyacht.co.uk

Notes for Editors:

There is a press event at 1pm, Friday 13th September on Stand J417 with lunch and drinks and a chance to see the new product and ask questions about the GPS160.

Galileo is the new global navigation satellite system (GNSS) that has been developed over the past two decades. It joins the GPS and GLONASS systems and offers mariners a 3rd reliable positioning source. It is planned to be fully operational in 2020.

The EU funded €10 billion project is named after the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei. One of the aims of Galileo is to provide an independent high-precision positioning system so European nations do not have to rely on the U.S. GPS or the Russian GLONASS systems which could be disabled or degraded by their operators at any time. The use of basic Galileo services will be free and open to everyone. Galileo is intended to provide horizontal and vertical position measurements within 1m precision and better positioning services at higher latitudes than other positioning systems.

There are currently 22 satellites in usable condition (satellite is operational and contributing to the service provision), 2 satellites are in “testing” and 2 more are marked as not available. The final constellation should be deployed by 2020 and will consist of 30 satellites (24 operational and 6 spares).
