65m superyacht White Rose Of Drachs in Málaga

The 65m superyacht White Rose Of Drachs, built by Peters Werft, is seen here docked in the Port of Málaga, Spain.

This summer, a radio navigation research team from The University of Texas at Austin set out to discover whether they could subtly coerce a superyacht off its course, using a custom-made GPS device.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ctw9ECgJ8L0" width="560"></iframe>Led by assistant professor Todd Humphreys of the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at the Cockrell School of Engineering, the team was able to successfully spoof superyacht White Rose of Drachs, using the world’s first openly acknowledged GPS spoofing device. Spoofing is a technique that creates false civil GPS signals to gain control of a vessel’s GPS receivers. The purpose of the experiment was to measure the difficulty of carrying out a spoofing attack at sea and to determine how easily sensors in the ship’s command room could identify the threat.The researchers hope their demonstration will shed light on the perils of navigation attacks, serving as evidence that spoofing is a serious threat to marine vessels and other forms of transportation. Last year, Humphreys and a group of students led the first public capture of a GPS-guided unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, using a GPS device created by Humphreys and his students.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YbWpFMXADAY" width="560"></iframe>“With 90 percent of the world’s freight moving across the seas and a great deal of the world’s human transportation going across the skies, we have to gain a better understanding of the broader implications of GPS spoofing,” Humphreys said. “I didn’t know, until we performed this experiment, just how possible it is to spoof a marine vessel and how difficult it is to detect this attack.”The University of Texas Cockrell School of Engineering +1 512 232 8060 <a href="mailto:comm@engr.utexas.edu?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">comm@engr.utexas.edu</a> <a href="http://www.engr.utexas.edu" target="_blank">www.engr.utexas.edu</a>

Researchers coerce superyacht off course

The International Superyacht Society (ISS) is pleased to announce that Bond Technical Management - specialising in AV/IT design and specification for new builds and refits in the megayacht market - has agreed to sponsor The Third Annual Meeting of the Associations. Co-hosted with the Professional Yachtsmen’s Association (PYA), more than 300 industry leaders and yacht owners attended the highly successful event last during the 2008 Monaco Yacht Show. Attendance is expected to be similar at this year’s event. “Based on the wonderful experience we’ve had with ISS and PYA and knowing that the Monaco event is fast becoming a fixture for the Show, we eagerly came on board to support the event," says Will Faimatea, Bond TM’s Director and Founder. “It’s this kind of collaboration that closely mirrors our own business model in creating the kind of highly sophisticated technical engineering and project management that builds a bridge between the conceptual interests of owners and their representatives and the finished yacht,” he says. Andrew Schofield, who is both Master of <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/658">White Rose of Drachs</a> and PYA’s president comments, “Bond TM’s support of the Meeting of the Associations helps us make this event possible. In fact, everything they are doing is having an effect. For instance, “The Jetstream®” concept will have a profound impact on the yacht market. It’s a sign of leadership that in addition to their ground-breaking technology, they are also willing to participate in events and programs that are of benefit to the entire industry.” This year’s Meeting of the Associations is being held on Friday, 25 September 2009 from 17.00-20.00 hours at the Yacht Club de Monaco.
