Abstract
Embodiments of the inventive concepts disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for managing global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. A master GNSS receiver can receive, via an antenna system, a GNSS signal. The master GNSS receiver can determining, using the received GNSS signal, information including positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) or positioning, velocity and time (PVT) information. The master GNSS receiver can generate a master GNSS signal using a signal generator and the determined information, and a message indicating that the master GNSS signal is a trusted GNSS based signal. The master GNSS receiver can communicate, via a distribution hub, the generated master GNSS signal and the message to a plurality of GNSS receivers co-located with the master GNSS receiver, for recovering the PNT or PVT information from the master GNSS signal.
