On Monday, November 16 at 4:00 p.m., Dr. Jón Winkel will present a lecture hosted by IEEE Iceland and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The lecture will begin with an overview of GNSS, including the different satellite navigation systems, their architecture, signal definitions, and the fundamental principles of positioning.
This will be followed by a discussion of GNSS jamming and spoofing, with particular emphasis on spoofing. Finally, the lecture will introduce the Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) and Signal Authentication Service (SAS), new services currently being introduced in Galileo.
Dr. Jón Winkel holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Iceland, a Diploma in Physics from the University of Hamburg, and a Dr.-Ing. degree from the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich.
After completing his studies, Jón worked in Germany in the field of satellite navigation and has been involved in the development of Galileo, Europe's satellite navigation system, since its early stages. Among other contributions, he invented the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) codes used in Galileo (WO2006063613A1).
He initially worked for the German start-up IFEN, primarily on research and development projects for the European Space Agency (ESA) related to Galileo. He subsequently joined Bosch, where he worked as an expert on the development of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) equipment for automated driving.
In 2019, he joined Airbus, where he worked on the development of digital signal processing for the next generation of Galileo satellites designed and manufactured by Airbus.
Three years ago, Jón returned to Iceland and now works as an independent consultant. His current work includes consulting for the European Union on the development and implementation of measures designed to protect against the growing threat of GNSS spoofing, which has become a persistent problem, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The lecture is open to everyone.
