Head office at 410 East White Hills Road, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Its site states it "has been involved in creating safer skies since 2013". seamatica.ca ↗
Chronos compares independently derived RF positions against ADS-B, AIS or Remote ID reports to identify discrepancies and potential spoofing. seamatica.ca ↗
Chronos locates a transmission's origin by multilateration and phased-array bearing, without relying on the target's self-reported position. seamatica.ca ↗
Chronos is described as deployable on ground stations, UAVs, unmanned surface vessels and aircraft. seamatica.ca ↗

Chronos
Surveillance integrity platform
Multidomain RF sensing platform that detects cooperative signals, independently locates targets and cross-checks reported against derived positions to flag spoofing. Supports ADS-B, Mode A/C, AIS and Remote ID. Passive modes appear operational; active modes are under development.
Government support actually received. Unpublished amounts are left out.
