A configuration for virtual sensing via sensor sharing for C-V2X scheduling. The apparatus receives, from a first wireless device, a message indicating a threat entity within a threat zone. The threat entity transmits data that interferes with transmission of BSMs. The apparatus determines a candidate resource of a set of candidate resources on which to transmit a BSM based at least in part on the message indicating information related to the threat entity from the first wireless device. The apparatus transmits, to at least a third wireless device, the BSM on a determined candidate resource.

In some examples, a system includes a transceiver configured to receive surveillance messages from Y target vehicles, where Y is an integer greater than two. The system includes processing circuitry configured to determine predicted positions of the Y target vehicles based on the surveillance messages. The processing circuitry is also configured to determine reported positions of the Y target vehicles based on later received surveillance messages.

Some embodiments of the time resilient system and methods disclosed herein can be configured to detect and defend against invalid time signals. According to various embodiments of the disclosed technology, the time resilient system include a receiver for collecting time signals sourced from an external clock. By way of example only, the external clock may be a high precision clock housed within a Global Positioning System. Other embodiments may include an internal clock calibrated to a time reflected on the external clock so that the internal clock and the external clock are synchronized. Additionally, a controller may monitor changes in time signals of the external over a period of time against the internal clock, where the system is alerted of a timing attack when the time signals collected from the receiver deviate a pre-determined time range with the time of the internal clock.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. Sensor data can be received from one or more portable countermeasure devices or sensors. The sensor data can relate to an object detected proximate to a particular airspace. The system can analyze the sensor data relating to the object to determine a location of the object and determine that the object is flying within the particular airspace based at least in part on location data. A portable countermeasure device can be identified that corresponds to the location of the object. The system can transmit information about the object to the identified portable countermeasure device. The portable countermeasure device can transmit additional data relating to the object to the system.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a spectrum control system. The system comprises one or more high frequency (HF) antennas, one or more multi-band (MB) antennas, and one or more datalinks. A spectrum management processor is configured to receive signals from the one or more HF and MB antennas and the one or more datalinks, and switch to one or more alternate radio-frequency (RF) channels for communications and/or position, navigation, and timing (PNT) information in response to a failure in a current communication channel and/or a global positioning system (GPS) signal.

A method of detecting an operation to spoof a first positioning device carried by a first vehicle moving in a zone in which at least one second vehicle carrying a second positioning device is also moving, the method comprising the step of causing at least one first positioning value to be calculated for each vehicle from initial satellite signals received by each device; the method being characterized in that it further comprises the steps of: causing the second device to initiate a latching stage in order to make a new search for satellite signals and using the new satellite signals received by the second device to calculate a second positioning value for the second vehicle at the same instant as the first value; comparing the first and second values relating to the second vehicle; and issuing a warning when the two values do not coincide.
