LOCH provides a solution that is easy and inexpensive to use for early warning and protection for your services that depend on GPS. Trust us like the US airports that have deployed LOCH.io

 

AirShield GPS: Protects GPS Signals

AirShield GPS continuously monitors GPS signals to detect jamming, spoofing, and interference.
Instead of assuming GPS is working, it verifies that GPS data can be trusted and alerts operators before bad signals cause real-world problems.

Why it matters

  • Detects GPS interference early
  • Confirms accurate position and timing
  • Protects systems that rely on GPS


SkyShield (C-UAS): Protects the Airspace

SkyShield is LOCH’s counter-drone (C-UAS) solution. It detects, identifies, and responds to unauthorized drones that threaten GPS-dependent operations, especially at airports and critical infrastructure sites.

SkyShield does not protect GPS signals directly, it protects the physical airspace where GPS-enabled systems operate.

Why it matters

  • Defends against drone-based threats
  • Reduces risk to aviation and logistics
  • Improves airspace safety and awareness


NetShield AI (RMLS): Protects Decisions

As the Yahoo article notes, GPS data feeds automation and AI across the global economy. If that data is manipulated, systems can fail silently.

NetShield AI protects the AI itself. It detects bad data, blocks manipulation, and automatically adapts AI models so decisions remain accurate and trustworthy.

Why it matters

  • Prevents corrupted GPS data from driving bad decisions
  • Keeps AI systems running during attacks
  • Maintains trust in automated operations

 


Why This Matters

GPS disruptions don’t stay isolated; they ripple across industries. As highlighted in the Yahoo News article, the global economy depends on GPS far more than most people realize.

Protecting GPS today requires:

Together, these form a layered defense that keeps data secure, operations running, and decisions trusted.
