Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
Ground-based radionavigation aids are reliable, but their associated costs due to maintenance and limited coverage have led the aviation industry to seek alternatives.
Nowadays international organizations such as ICAO and the FAA are promoting satellite navigation as the primary means of navigation, not only for en-route segments but also for approach procedures. Performance-Based Navigation (PBN) enables more direct routing and efficient use of airspace, resulting in reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and decreased congestion.
However, satellite navigation is vulnerable to GNSS jamming and spoofing, which can significantly degrade system performance and even compromise safety during critical phases, such as the approach.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADSB) messages are automatically transmitted through an aircraft's Mode S transponder. These messages contain key indicators closely related to the quality of the satellite signal received, as they quantify the aircraft's protection levels when flying under PBN.
Motivated by this context, the student will design an algorithm capable of detecting and mapping GNSS jamming and/or spoofing events, based on the exploitation of information contained in ADS-B messages.
The core of this project is to create and validate an algorithm that fulfils this purpose. Depending on the student's time and motivation, a complementary application or web interface could also be developed to visualize the results.
 
Orientació a l'estudiant:
The student will learn the contents of the ADSB messages in order to do a correct monitoring and analysis of the quality indicators. Knowledge on Java/Groovy, SQL, GRAILS and a front end language is desirable.
