Shift5 Unveils RF-Enabled GPS Threat Detection to Bolster Defense and Transport Resilience

New updates have been reported about Shift5.

Shift5 has introduced a new radio frequency (RF)-enabled GPS threat detection capability, extending its Operational Intelligence platform to give defense and commercial transportation operators early warning of GPS spoofing attacks at ranges up to 200 nautical miles. The add-on uses a software-defined radio integrated with Shift5’s existing near real-time serial bus monitoring, creating a layered defense that detects spoofing both at the RF signal level and within onboard systems’ responses, and is designed to be deployed quickly across aircraft, maritime vessels, and ground vehicles without asset-specific configuration.

CEO and co-founder Josh Lospinoso framed GPS spoofing as an active and escalating risk to both military missions and transportation operations, emphasizing that earlier detection directly affects mission continuity and safety by allowing crews to react before navigation systems are compromised. CTO Ronak Shah highlighted that the combination of RF and serial bus analytics provides a depth of visibility that single-layer approaches cannot match, particularly as adversaries refine spoofing techniques. The capability, available immediately for defense and commercial platforms, deepens Shift5’s positioning as a specialist in operational technology cybersecurity and analytics for high-value fleets, reinforcing its relevance to military buyers and large transport operators seeking resilience against electronic warfare and signal manipulation. While no pricing or contracts were disclosed, the launch broadens Shift5’s addressable market in GPS-contested environments and supports its strategy to monetize fleet-wide cyber and performance data across current and next-generation assets.
