Orolia, a world leader in Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), and 2020 Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for Best Resilient Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Solutions, has announced the availability of M-Code Military GPS receivers in its Resilient PNT products and solutions, including M-Code enabled mobile mission timing and synchronization platforms through its Orolia Defense & Security business.
M-Code capabilities further enhance Orolia’s Versa mobile PNT platform for rugged, small SWaP-C requirements and Orolia’s flagship SecureSync® resilient time and frequency reference solution – the first Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) approved time server.
M-Code is a military signal used in the L1 and L2 GPS bands which is required by Congressional mandate for all Department of Defense (DoD) military operations.
Designed to enhance positioning, navigation, and timing capabilities M-Code also improves resistance to existing and emerging GPS threats, such as jamming and spoofing.
M-Code offers several operational benefits, including:
-
A higher-power signal that offers improved resistance to jamming and interference
-
Advanced security features to prevent unauthorized access or exploitation, and
-
Improved message formats and signal modulation techniques for faster and more accurate performance
“As threats against GPS increase, military forces will need M-Code capabilities on mobile PNT systems to ensure continuous operations wherever they go,” explains Hironori Sasaki, President of Orolia Defense & Security.
“Orolia is proud to continue to support Department of Defense initiatives to ensure that warfighters have the most secure, reliable and accurate positioning, timing and synchronization solutions in any environment.”
From resilient PNT solutions to GPS/GNSS simulation, interference detection and mitigation, Orolia is an industry leader in end-to-end NAVWAR and Resilient PNT solutions to protect, augment and strengthen military systems for GPS-denied environments.
(Over 30 satellites make up the Global Positioning System (GPS). Jamming and spoofing have become a major threat to this system; preparation and countermeasures can assure that U.S. forces maintain critical capabilities. Learn here how to combat the dual threat. Courtesy of the Orolia and YouTube.)
Orolia Wins Platinum in THE 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program
American Security Today’s ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards program is in its Fifth Year and continues to recognize the Outstanding Innovations of top firms and agencies in the Homeland Security and Public Safety fields.
2020 has been a very challenging year for everyone due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the much heralded AST ‘ASTORS’ Awards Winners Presentations and exclusive Luncheon at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC has been canceled and rescheduled for 2021 due to the virus.
However, the 2020 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program was again a huge success and many new categories were added including a section for COVID-19 Detection and Innovation.

Orolia’s VersaSync is a mobile time and frequency reference solution to synchronize critical military and security operations where failure is not an option. Combining precision master clock technology with exceptional flexibility, VersaSync delivers accurate, software configurable time and frequency signals under any circumstances, including GPS-denied environments. Its small SWaP (size, weight and power) and rugged form factor make VersaSync ideal for mobile applications in the harshest conditions. Its small footprint and universal design enable easy integration of resilient timing and mission synchronization functionality into defense systems architecture.
-
VersaSync also offers built-in PNT cybersecurity at no additional cost, as well as network-centric functionality including NTP/PTP precise time transfer over Ethernet with security protocols that prevent network vulnerabilities. For additional security, more options can be integrated including GPS jamming and spoofing detection software, SAASM encrypted signals and Low Earth Orbit satellite connectivity.
-
VersaSync currently supports a variety of DoD air, land and sea programs for time stamping and military network synchronization related to Test Ranges, ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) Missions, UAV Payloads, Sensor Support (Radars, Sonars, Optronics) Tactical Vehicles Network Synchronization, and Cyber/Electronic Warfare.
