ACTOR: Trust Your Position.

The Undeniable Threat to GPS

Navigation, timing, critical infrastructure – modern operations depend on GPS. But this reliance creates a critical vulnerability. Jamming denies access. Spoofing feeds false data, manipulating perception and leading platforms astray.

News headlines constantly remind us: the threat isn’t theoretical, it’s active. Conventional defenses struggle to keep pace, often relying on signal characteristics that sophisticated adversaries can mimic. They can be tricked. When perception is reality, trust is compromised.

ACTOR: Forging Certainty in a Contested Environment

ACTOR (Assured Constellation Through RF-Fingerprinting) delivers unparalleled GPS protection by fundamentally changing how authenticity is verified.

While others analyze what a signal looks like, ACTOR verifies who sent it.

Using advanced signal processing and a proprietary AI/ML engine, ACTOR analyzes the unique, unforgeable RF fingerprint inherent in every satellite transmission – subtle hardware characteristics ignored by standard receivers. By comparing the received fingerprint against the known signature of the authentic GPS satellite, ACTOR instantly identifies and flags impostors.

This isn’t just detection; it’s definitive authentication. Even identical hardware components produce unique fingerprints, making ACTOR inherently resilient against even the most sophisticated spoofing attacks.
