Objectives of the service
The main service of the SAPS system can be the ability to detect GNSS signal jammers and GSM networks based on GNSS receivers integrated with GSM devices. The system can provide the relevant security services, homeowners and shopkeepers with the ability to reduce the time spent searching for the location of the signal jammer (criminal). This can narrow the time window of the crime for the police, and create an early warning system for private owners.
-
> 90 % detection rate for GNSS/GSM interference within monitored zones.
-
≤ 100 m localisation accuracy to support law-enforcement interventions.
-
API-first architecture enabling integration with PSAP, fleet-management and situational-awareness platforms.
-
Provide a forensic archive to underpin legal proceedings and compliance with NIS 2.
Users and their needs
-
Public Safety Agencies – need trusted location evidence and live interference maps to coordinate field teams.
-
Critical-Infrastructure Operators (airports, ports, rail, energy) – require continuous monitoring to ensure operational safety and regulatory compliance.
-
Fleet & Mobility Providers / OEMs – demand API-level alerts and historical datasets to protect high-value logistics and autonomous operations.
A hybrid segment includes businesses like petrol stations and retail shops that both use and benefit from the service. All users value early warnings, increased protection, and seamless integration with existing infrastructures.
Service/ system concept
The SAPS system allows users to detect and track criminal activity involving GNSS and GSM signal jammers—devices used to steal cars or disrupt security systems. Users receive real-time alerts when interference is detected near their location. Security companies, fleet managers, shop owners, and even private individuals can monitor threats, helping to protect vehicles, property, and people.
A distributed mesh of low‑cost sensors uploads GNSS/GSM signal spectra to a cloud backend. Machine‑learning pipelines detect anomalies, triangulate sources and push alerts via REST API, web dashboard and secure MQTT streams. Modules: Detection & Analytics, Forensic Archive, OEM API, Operator Console..
Space Added Value
The SAPS system leverages GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) as its core space asset. GNSS signals from constellations like Galileo, GPS are continuously monitored by a dense network of receivers to detect anomalies caused by jamming or spoofing.
The added value of using space-based assets lies in their global availability, reliability, and precision. Unlike traditional ground-based security systems that require local installation and infrastructure, GNSS signals are freely and ubiquitously available.
By combining GNSS with cloud processing and mobile connectivity, SAPS enables real-time alerts and geolocation of jamming sources. This approach outperforms current systems, which are often reactive, expensive, and limited in scope (e.g., RF scanners, or GSM triangulation).
SAPS also enhances societal resilience by crowdsourcing signal monitoring, involving users as passive contributors. This scalable model creates a dense, dynamic map of GNSS signal integrity, offering both security and data insights unmatched by any single-provider solution.
Current Status
The feasibility study culminated in a successful Final Review with the European Space Agency on 18 July 2025, confirming the technical and commercial viability of SAPS and clearing the way for the Demonstration Phase. During the study the consortium completed a rigorous proof-of-concept campaign that achieved a 92 % detection rate with a mean localisation error better than 80 m across 1 200 recorded GNSS/GSM interference events. Stakeholder engagement intensified: the Polish National Police Headquarters and the City of Olsztyn signed letters of intent, while Orange Polska committed to act as connectivity partner for a 200-sensor urban pilot scheduled for Q4 2025. The project team has frozen the API-first system architecture and launched the compliance pathway for NIS 2 and ISO 27001. The SaaS-based revenue model, complemented by data-licensing options, was validated as financially sustainable, and the roadmap remains on schedule toward a Final Commercial Review in Q1 2026.
