Objective
TRUST-TRACK (Trustworthy Sea Tracking using OSNMA) is a near-market innovation integrating authenticated satellite navigation and space-based intelligence into the daily operations of European maritime security practitioners, including port authorities, customs, maritime police, border police, and coast guards. The project addresses the rapidly growing threat of GNSS spoofing, MMSI manipulation, and AIS misuse, which undermine sanctions enforcement, border control, maritime secuirty/safety, and compliance operations.
Although Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) provides cryptographic protection against GNSS spoofing, current maritime surveillance infrastructures cannot exploit this capability. AIS messages do not convey OSNMA information, no certification framework exists for OSNMA-capable vessels, and backend systems such as SafeSeaNet, THETIS, and LRIT cannot distinguish authenticated GNSS positions from manipulated ones. TRUST-TRACK closes this gap by introducing the first operational maritime framework for OSNMA adoption.
The project delivers two core innovations. First, a Certified OSNMA Vessel Registry prototype, compliant with ISO 27001 cybersecurity standards, enabling certification-grade OSNMA capability lookup at MMSI level using authoritative sources including GNSS manufacturers, classification societies, flag-state registries, and EU databases. Second, a Hybrid Maritime Trust Score (HMTS), a real-time 0–100 metric fusing OSNMA-based GNSS integrity, Copernicus SAR and optical verification, AI-powered behavioural and deception analytics, and regulatory risk intelligence.
Integrated into an operational Maritime Surveillance System and validated through pilots with European maritime authorities, TRUST-TRACK reaches TRL 7–9 readiness while delivering standardization and regulatory recommendations to EMSA, EUSPA, IALA, and IMO, providing both an operational solution and a blueprint for a future EU OSNMA maritime framework.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
