GMP
RELEASE NOTES

Summary: 

Alongside the release of Mission Manager 2.12, we are introducing RFeye GMP 1.12, an update that brings several highly requested features to improve usability and flexibility. This release includes a standard RedHat version, the ability to update running mission parameters, and enhanced geolocation capabilities with nearest-RFeye Node PoA.

Key Enhancements: 

RedHat Installer – RFeye GMP 1.12 now includes a RedHat installer with every release, expanding compatibility and deployment options. 

Modify Running Mission Parameters – Users can now update mission parameters while they are actively running, similar to the improvements introduced in EMP 1.11. 

Nearest-RFeye Node POA Geolocation – This new capability allows geolocation calculations to leverage the nearest available RFeye Node, enhancing accuracy and efficiency in mission operations. 

These improvements further enhance the functionality of RFeye GMP, providing users with greater flexibility and improved operational efficiency. 

New Features

  • Sync Sweep Scans exported from RFeye Site can be passed into GMP and Sync sweep data returned
  • Geolocations can be streamed out in Asterix and PBD2 formats based on an RFeye Site solution file passed into GMP
  • Additional users can subscribe and unsubscribe from other users’ tasks and receive the same data (based on the task_ID)
  • Synchronous detection scans tasks can be created and data returned from multiple Nodes

Improvements

  • Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) value is returned when running a TDOA geolocation
  • GMP sweep data updated from Spec 8 to Spec 16, resulting in two decimals points in the returned data
  • Users can now provide the Node’s “name” field when sending commands to GMP. The name and node id are always returned in synchronous data requests.

 Fixes

  • Detection based TDOA will not return empty JSON data
  • Only valid antenna numbers will be accepted by synchronous sweep scans
  • Multiple bug fixes and improvements to code

Improvements

  • Improved accuracy when doing an AOA crossover bearing scan for geolocation of signals of interest
  • Better error handling and more detailed error messages

Fixes

  • Improved stability when importing and running RFeye Site solutions
  • Minor bug fixes

New features

  • Command line option to allow users to clear the logs, to improve administration of logs.
  • Support for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has been added to GMP.
  • RFeye Node GPS location returned as part of the response from an API request.
  • Mixed Node network support for TDOA on RFeye Nodes 40-8, 50-8 and 100-x. To benefit from this feature, please upgrade other firmware and software to the following minimum version numbers (where applicable):
    1. GMP version 1.8.3.71 or later
    2. RFeye Site version 1.51.2.27 or later
    3. Mission Manager version 2.8.3 or later

Fixes

  • Fixed issue where GMP needed a manual restart after a process was stopped manually.
  • Minor Bug fixes.

Overview

This release gives you the ability to tell if synchronous sweep scans are influenced by signal compression. You now also have the ability to create a complex mission within RFeye Site and then export that configuration and run it autonomously. This is called a Mission Automation Configuration (MAC) file.

New Features

  • Allows a site mission configuration (MAC) file to be loaded and run autonomously.
  • Indicates whether synchronous sweep scans are influenced by signal compression.

Fixes

  • Fixes a bug where duplicate POA geolocations are produced.

New Features

  • GMP is updated to run inside a Docker container.
  • GMP is updated to run on Unix socket.
  • Added support for username and password authentication.
  • Added support for floating style licenses to allow GMP to run inside a Docker container. Only floating licenses are supported from GMP release 1.5 onwards. The old hardware ID based licenses are no longer supported from this release onwards.
  • Added support for squelch parameters in geolocation scans.
  • Added support for heatmap parameters in geolocation scans.
  • Added support for radiated power in geolocation scan results.
  • Added the gmp.sh script to allow the user to control the installation via the CLI. To view the list of available commands type: sudo gmp.sh help.
