Technical Overview

Inside Ariadne:
Software-Only PNT Integrity

A modern integrity layer built for next-generation autonomy. Understand how Ariadne protects your navigation data.

The Challenge

Navigation Signals Are Vulnerable

GNSS signals can be disrupted by environmental factors such as multipath reflections in urban canyons, atmospheric interference, or intentional malicious interference like spoofing and jamming.

Autonomous drones need a way to verify the trustworthiness of their navigation data before making critical decisions. Without integrity verification, corrupted position data can lead to mission failures, safety incidents, or worse.

Ariadne provides a software-only integrity layer that evaluates signal reliability in real time, giving your systems the confidence to navigate safely.

Without Integrity Verification

  • No way to detect corrupted position data
  • Vulnerable to environmental interference
  • Blind to spoofing and jamming attacks
  • False confidence in navigation decisions
The Approach

How Ariadne Works

A conceptual overview of Ariadne's software-only integrity verification approach.

Signal Behavior Analysis

Evaluates how navigation signals behave over time, identifying patterns that indicate reliable or compromised positioning data.

Environmental Awareness

Adapts its integrity assessment based on operational context—from open-sky simplicity to dense urban complexity.

Multi-Frequency Consistency

For Supreme tier: Cross-checks multiple GNSS frequency bands to improve confidence and reduce false alarms in challenging conditions.

Software-Only Integration

Works with existing GNSS receivers and flight stacks. No hardware modifications required—pure software deployment.

Note: This is a high-level conceptual overview. Ariadne's internal algorithms and implementation details remain proprietary.
