Autonomous Air Taxis Face Satellite Navigation Threats
Boeing Aerospace Spain is leading a three-year research project to detect and counter satellite-navigation jamming and spoofing that threatens autonomous air taxis and other advanced air mobility aircraft. The project, called VARIANT, brings together a consortium of companies and research institutions to integrate Dimetor’s NAVSentry platform, which uses artificial intelligence to monitor and alert against interference. The research aims to support the development of ground-based digital air traffic management for autonomous operations in complex urban airspace, as reported by Aerospace Testing International.
