ARLINGTON, VA, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Partnership combines Shift5's GPS monitoring capabilities with Avionica's commercial aviation hardware

Shift5, the observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), and Avionica, a leader in aviation data solutions, today announced a partnership to deliver Shift5’s advanced GPS integrity solutions to commercial aviation.

The announcement comes as GPS spoofing incidents worldwide surged by 500% in 2024, with 1,500 flights per day affected by GPS attacks in August alone. The partnership expands the reach of Shift5’s solution to address these increasing vulnerabilities by combining Shift5's real-time monitoring and data analytics capabilities with Avionica's commercial aviation hardware, monitoring GPS signals for spoofing and jamming attempts and delivering alerts through existing operator interfaces.

"Threats to commercial aviation are evolving rapidly, and operators need the ability to detect and respond in real-time," said Josh Lospinoso, CEO and co-founder of Shift5. "Avionica’s trusted platform and deep industry ties make them an ideal partner to bring our GPS integrity solutions to market. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for Shift5 as we expand our commercial footprint and tackle some of the most concerning vulnerabilities facing the industry."

“As GPS threats grow more sophisticated, the aviation industry needs smarter, more agile defenses,” said Philip Anderson, President and CFO of Avionica. “By integrating Shift5’s cutting-edge monitoring technology with Avionica’s proven avionics systems, we’re delivering a powerful solution that enhances flight safety without burdening operators with new hardware or workflows. This partnership represents our shared commitment to driving innovation that directly addresses the operational realities faced by today’s airlines.”

Both companies are showcasing the solution at the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) Users Forum and other upcoming industry events, with customer deployments expected to begin in the coming months.
