PNT Xe Simulation System

Easy-to-use, Economical, Expands Test Coverage

Elite performance at an entry-level price point

Spirent PNT Xe, part of the PNT X product line, makes high-fidelity GNSS simulation accessible at scale – bringing Spirent’s benchmark signal performance to more engineers throughout more product phases. PNT Xe delivers the same trusted architecture and high-fidelity performance with an easy-to-use interface and lower cost.

Use our PNT Xe online configurator to explore your options.

Scenario Assistant workflow interface

Powered by SimGEN®, the industry’s most trusted simulation engine, PNT Xe delivers precision through a workflow interface. Scenario Assistant generates test scenarios in just four simple steps. New team members can be productive immediately—no  simulation expertise required—and the guided process reduces the risk of human error to provide meaningful test results. Watch a demonstration.

GPS AES M-Code capable

With optional AES M-Code test capability via SimMCODE, PNT Xe enables military-grade GPS receiver testing outside of classified facilities. M-Code and P-Code testing can now be brought in-house—no SCIF necessary—empowering authorized teams to test and validate more efficiently.

For those who do have access to classified facilities, PNT Xe is equally at home with removable SSD storage for movement in and out of secure test environments.

Key Features

PNT Xe produces high-fidelity GNSS signals via a single combined RF output to the device under test (DUT).

  • Supports all global and regional GNSS constellations
  • Single or dual-frequency testing
  • Unclassified military signals—GPS AES M-Code and P-Code—capable with SimMCODE
  • Jamming signal generation with GSS7765 Interference Generator
  • Spoofing testing with live-sky injection using Standpoint
  • 2U, low SWaP-C portable platform with an embedded controller for use in a rack, on a desktop, or in the field
+
Performance

Built on Spirent’s industry-standard architecture, PNT Xe delivers multi-frequency, multi-GNSS simulation with

  • Up to 128 channels
  • 5 mm RMS pseudorange accuracy
  • Low phase noise
  • Exceptional frequency stability

Software

Scenario Assistant interface

The Scenario Assistant workflow simplifies and speeds up test scenario creation and modification:

  • Helps new team members or novice users onboard quickly, saving time and resources—no simulation expertise required
  • Minimizes the risk of human error for meaningful and accurate test results

Software powered by SimGEN

PNT Xe is driven by SimGEN, the leading PNT simulation engine. The user interface has been simplified for targeted development and verification testing. Spirent’s precise constellation and navigation modeling is built-in, including SimROUTE, a trajectory generation tool using Google Maps® or Open Street Maps.

Licensable software options

  • SimMCODE – unclassified AES M-Code testing
  • Data streaming – stream vehicle or satellite information to an IP address during the test run for real time analysis
  • NMEA output – output NMEA data for post-process comparison with the receiver’s NMEA data
  • RTCM corrections – provides corrections to the simulated vehicle to improve the accuracy of location solution
  • Remote vehicle motion – provides APIs to integrate PNT Xe with dynamic hardware-in-the-loop environments
+
Automation
  • Remote Control. PNT Xe can be controlled via GUI or remote commands. Commands are formatted according to Spirent’s SimREMOTE ICD and are sent via TCP/IP.
  • Spyder API using Python. The open source Python development environment can more quickly and easily automate your test system, create software add-ons, and control the system remotely from another PC or simulator, saving time and resources.

Introducing PNT X: Our most powerful and flexible PNT simulator ever

Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) are critical capabilities in an ever-growing range of systems – from military drones to communications satellites, and from autonomous cars to crewless container ships. Even lunar landers are now equipped with GNSS receivers. And while global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) like GPS were once the default source of space-based PNT, […]
