=====GP-Simulator=====
GP-Simulator is a cost-effective solution for simulation of GPS L1 signals with live sky synchronization and user-defined modification of key parameters (such as power, pseudorange, Doppler, and navigation message content) for emulating controlled spoofing attacks.
GP-Simulator is designed for testing and investigating vulnerability points of GNSS dependant entities to spoofing and jamming.

\\

**Required Hardware**:\\
  * [[https://www.ettus.com/product/category/USRP-Bus-Series|Ettus Research USRP Bus Series]] with GPSDO;
  * [[https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/evk-8evk-m8|Ublox M8T GNSS receiver]] for live sky synchronization;
  * A computer device with capable hardware and internet connection;
  * External high quality 10 MHz reference source (for using radiated tests).\\
\\

GP-Simulator provides a clean and user-friendly interface, taking care of all complex computing processes in the backend.

====Key Features==== 
  * Allows you to simulate a GPS L1 spoofer in synchronous and asynchronous modes for developing the corresponding protection methods and detecting potential vulnerabilities of the equipment to spoofing and jamming attacks;
  * Multiple instances of the App can be grouped into a cluster with a single control for simulating synchronous spoofing with multiple TX;
  * Supports conducted connection to the tested device for further lab testing and radiated connection for the further field testing;
  * Provides the synchronization accuracy with a life sky signal that is not worse than 100 nanoseconds;
  * Capable of adding various impairments to the signals like time\coordinates shift, satellite's relative power, pseudorange\Doppler offset, etc.;
  * Can add various types of jamming to the signal like wideband noise, continuous wave, etc.; 
  * Uses real almanac and ephemeris data.
\\

====Areas of Application====
We have developed this application for testing our own [[https://gpspatron.com/|GNSS spoofing detection system]], as well as for researching various possible attack scenarios.\\ 
**The application allows you to simulate simple and complex types of attacks**:
  * [[https://gpspatron.com/chapter-1-asynchronous-spoofing-attacks/|Asynchronous]];
  * Synchronous;
  * Synchronous with multiple TX.

**Security and Operational Benefits:**:
  * Conduct comprehensive research in the field of spoofing detection and prevention methods;
  * Test your existing infrastructure for spoofing vulnerabilities;
  * Test the quality of our [[https://gpspatron.com/|spoofing detection system]].

**All testing can be performed in the laboratory, as well as in the field.**

====Quick Start====
To start testing your device, take the following simple steps:
  * Install the software on your computer device;
  * Activate a license via [[AppManager:Patrotest Application Manager]];
  * Connect [[https://www.ettus.com/product/category/USRP-Bus-Series|Ettus Research USRP]] with USB 3.0 interface;
  * Connect [[https://www.u-blox.com/en/product/evk-8evk-m8|Ublox M8T GNSS receiver]] via USB and RS-232 port;
  * Run the [[gp_simulator:NI-USRP Configuration Utility]] and set the name of your USRP to  "**usrp**."\\
