This article from Inside GNSS announces that “Zephr.xyz, a provider of augmented position, navigation, and timing (AugPNT) technologies, has been awarded a $1.74 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Direct-to-Phase II contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop real-time detection of GNSS jamming and spoofing in contested domains while geolocating the sources of these attacks.”
“Zephr.xyz’s dual-use “networked GNSS” technology – which turns ordinary mobile phones into a high-fidelity GNSS receiver network – will undergo rigorous field testing in Ukraine and multiple U.S. military exercises before integration with the Department of Defense’s Tactical Assault Kit (TAK) and the Department of Homeland Security.”
“Beyond detection, Zephr.xyz has the ability to enhance positioning accuracy on TAK devices, providing critical support for various operational scenarios. Zephr.xyz’s detection and classification capabilities will be available as an SDK, allowing mobile applications like TAK to alert users and enhance positioning accuracy in electronic warfare scenarios.”
They had a presentation at the 2026 TAK Offisite, but it was not public.
