Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) recently presented a system that prevents GPS jamming, the company says. Called ADA, the system was developed by the company’s MALAM division, which focuses on anti-jamming protection of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers.
The system has a broad range of global navigation satellite systems (GNASS) operating on all combat aircraft — manned or unmanned. It is based on an advanced electronic architecture and the implementation of digital processing. ADA has already been integrated into systems and platforms domestically and internationally. Variants of the system can be used in land-based platforms, and other derivatives can be integrated into some guided weapons.
Israel Aerospace recently won an Israeli Air Force contract for ADA integration in which the company is to deliver a turnkey solution based on its multi-channel controlled reception pattern antenna (CRPA) technology. Even when under direct electronic attack, Israel Aerospace says the solution ensures operational continuity of the fleet.
“Our operationally proven systems will ensure the availability of GPS- and GNSS-based systems, even in the most contested, [electronic warfare]-saturated battle-space,” says Jacob Galifat, General Manager of the IAI/MALAM Division. “Considering the operational challenges, we believe this system has considerable export potential for many air forces and armies who experience GNSS jamming in combat zones.”
