UTM company High Lander and BOND RF, a specialist in real-time GNSS interference intelligence, have announced a collaboration focused on bringing GNSS jamming and spoofing awareness directly into airspace management.
“The collaboration will integrate BOND RF’s ability to detect, classify and localize GNSS interference with High Lander’s Vega UTM platform,” said High Lander in a press release. “The result is a new layer of situational awareness, allowing airspace managers to understand not only where aircraft are operating, but also whether the positioning environment those operations depend on can be trusted.
GNSS interference is increasingly becoming an operational aviation issue rather than an isolated technical anomaly, said the company. According to IATA’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, reported GNSS jamming events increased by 67% between 2023 and 2025, while reported GPS spoofing incidents rose by 193%. ICAO has reported that disruptions caused by GNSS radio frequency interference have become a daily occurrence in some regions.
“Modern drone operations depend heavily on accurate positioning. Jamming can deny access to GNSS signals altogether, while spoofing can cause systems to receive false positioning information while appearing to operate normally,” according to High Lander. “For autonomous and BVLOS operations, that uncertainty creates a critical gap between what an aircraft reports and what operators can confidently rely on. BOND RF was built specifically around this problem. Its technology continuously monitors GNSS signals, detects jamming and spoofing events, classifies their type and severity, and localizes the source of interference. The company presents this intelligence through a three-dimensional operational map, providing real-time visibility into an otherwise invisible layer of the environment.
“High Lander’s Vega UTM provides the wider airspace management layer, combining real-time aerial activity, flight approvals, geo-awareness, strategic and tactical deconfliction, and external sensor data within a centralized operational environment. Its flexible architecture is designed to connect diverse data sources and airspace participants into one common operating picture.”
