Ground Control Joins DNK Tracking Program to Counter GNSS Jamming in High-Risk Waters

Ground Control has been named one of three qualified vendors in Den Norske Kriegsforsikring's (DNK) DNK Tracking Program, which addresses the growing threat of GNSS jamming and spoofing affecting commercial shipping in high-risk maritime zones, including the Red Sea and Persian Gulf.

The program replaces DNK’s previous Raptor scheme with a multi-vendor initiative that gives member organizations the flexibility to select solutions matching their operational requirements.

Ground Control’s RockFLEET Assured is a compact, marine-grade tracker integrating Iridium satellite positioning and timing (Iridium STL).

It delivers trusted, independent position reporting when conventional GNSS signals are compromised, providing bridge integrity alerts, two-way satellite messaging, and full fleet visibility through Ground Control’s Cloudloop tracking platform.

RockFLEET Assured requires simple integration using standard NMEA protocols, making it straightforward for vessels to adopt within existing bridge systems.

Alastair MacLeod, Chief Executive of Ground Control, said: “GNSS spoofing and jamming have become persistent operational realities, particularly across contested maritime zones this year. Commercial shipping now faces active, escalating threats to position reliability in high-risk waters.

“Our partnership with DNK enables vessel operators to maintain trusted positioning and situational awareness where conventional GNSS cannot be relied upon. We are pleased to support DNK members in strengthening the resilience of their position, navigation and timing infrastructure.”

RockFLEET Assured is already operational on commercial vessels in high-risk waters. The system integrates with DNK’s War Risk Insurance framework, offering member organizations a practical, field-proven approach to independent position verification.
