Skydel Simulation Engine

High-Fidelity GNSS Simulation for Advanced Testing & Development

The Skydel Simulation Engine is a powerful, software-defined GNSS simulation platform designed to provide unmatched flexibility, scalability, and realism in GNSS testing environments.

As reliance on GNSS continues to grow across industries such as defence, aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure, the need for accurate and repeatable testing environments has never been greater.

Skydel enables engineers, developers, and researchers to simulate real-world GNSS conditionsβ€”including interference, spoofing, and complex signal environmentsβ€”ensuring systems perform reliably before deployment.

What is Skydel?

Skydel is a software-based GNSS simulation engine that replaces traditional hardware-bound simulators with a flexible GPU-powered architecture. It generates realistic satellite signals and allows full control over simulation parameters in real time.

Unlike conventional simulators, Skydel can run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware, offering a scalable and cost-effective alternative without compromising performance.

How It Works

Skydel generates digital GNSS signals using GPU processing, which are then converted into RF signals via software-defined radios. This allows full control over signal characteristics, enabling highly accurate simulation of real-world environments.

Users can simulate satellite constellations, vehicle movement, interference conditions, and environmental effectsβ€”all within a controlled and repeatable test environment.
