Satellite relaying for geolocation and mitigation of gnss denial

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program instructions that cause a computer on a communication device to execute a process, the process comprising:

• determining data associated with a distance between an object and each of a plurality of satellites to produce a corresponding plurality of datums;
• creating a plurality of subsets of datums each having a different combination of datums from the plurality of datums;
• s determining a plurality of possible computed solutions for the object each based respectively on a corresponding one of the plurality of subsets of datums;
• determining whether the plurality of possible computed solutions fall within an acceptable proximity of each other;
• determining, in response to the plurality of possible computed solutions falling within the acceptable proximity of each other, a trusted location of the object based on the plurality of datums between the object and the plurality of satellites;
• and
• initiating, in response to at least one the plurality of possible computed solutions not falling within the acceptable proximity of each other of the plurality of possible computed solutions, one or more mitigation actions.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to execute one or more processes;
• a communication interface configured to communicate via one or more satellite antennas associated with the apparatus;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process executable by the processor, the process, when executed, configured to perform a process, comprising:
• determining data associated with a distance between an object and each of a plurality of satellites to produce a corresponding plurality of datums;
• creating a plurality of subsets of datums each having a different combination of datums from the plurality of datums;
• determining a plurality of possible computed solutions for the object each based respectively on a corresponding one of the plurality of subsets of datums;
• determining whether the plurality of possible computed solutions fall within an acceptable proximity of each other;
• determining, in response to the plurality of possible computed solutions falling within the acceptable proximity of each other, a trusted location of the object based on the plurality of datums between the object and the plurality of satellites;
• and
• initiating, in response to at least one the plurality of possible computed solutions not falling within the acceptable proximity of each other of the plurality of possible computed solutions, one or more mitigation actions.
