Project Shoelace: Detecting GPS Signal Disruptions
Description:
GPS signals are everywhere — from military operations to Uber rides — and disruptions can have serious, wide-ranging consequences. In this project, students will work alongside National Space Intelligence Center to improve machine learning algorithms that detect anomalies in the data supplied by the United States’ Global Positioning System (GPS) or more generally in readings from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS includes international peers of GPS). The student team will use large, complex, real-world and publicly accessible datasets. Students will refine and test models, explore global sensor networks and help scale analytics that could eventually provide real-time warnings to GPS/GNSS users around the world. This is a chance to get hands-on with data science, AI and national security while solving challenges that impact both defense and everyday life.
