VIAV
September 20, 2025
VIAVI Solutions Inc. announced the launch of its second-generation RSR Transcoder on May 28, 2025. This solution is designed to maintain operational capability in GPS/GNSS-denied, degraded, or disrupted space operational environments (D3SOE). Globally, incidents of GPS and GNSS jamming and spoofing have surged, becoming a standard aspect of electronic warfare, posing threats to military operations, aviation, communications, and emergency services. The second-generation RSR Transcoder delivers assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) through a wide range of outputs, enabling upgrades to legacy systems. It includes a GPS full constellation simulator and uses a patented algorithm for near-instant conversion of assured inputs like M-code, SAASM, and IMU/INS signals. These are converted to Universal GPS L1 and L2 signals with C/A-code and P-code output, allowing easy upgrading of any legacy GPS with assured PNT capability. Doug Russell, Senior Vice President, Aerospace & Defense, VIAVI, stated that modern military systems are heavily reliant on PNT technologies, and the RSR Transcoder enables cost-effective upgrades to legacy systems with state-of-the-art resilience against such attacks. The ruggedized IP68 enclosures are mountable on land, sea, and air platforms and have been developed to run in a covert lights-out operation mode, ensuring reliable performance in contested environments.
