The Digital GPS Anti-Jam Receiver (DIGAR) from BAE Systems can now combine beamforming with trusted inertial navigation system data from receivers made by Trimble.
A Trimble receiver is a connected base station that gives users improved satellite tracking and remote operation for geospatial applications.
The new beamforming capabilities ‘increase the level of GPS jamming protection for aircraft by a million-fold’, BAE Systems noted in a 6 June statement.
Special software developed by BAE Systems ensures the compatibility of antenna electronics on DIGAR with industry-grade Embedded GPS Inertial Navigation System technology.
The result is ‘fast communication with transmitter electronics for superior beamforming’, BAE Systems claimed.
Equipping fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and UAS platforms, DIGAR (formerly made by Rockwell Collins) blends antenna electronics, advanced signal processing, and beamforming techniques to improve the reliability of positioning, navigation, and timing data in contested electromagnetic environments.
The need for this capability is clear, said Greg Wild, director of navigation and sensor systems at BAE Systems: ‘The modern battlespace has evolved, and peer state positioning, navigation, and timing threat systems are challenging our ability to conduct combat operations in the place and manner of our choosing.’
In this bonus episode of the Shephard Defence Podcast, we bring you the first episode from the latest series of the Five Eyes Connectivity podcast.
UAV Navigation provides military-grade VECTOR-600 autopilot for Alpha 800 and Alpha 900.
The new fire detection system can provide more accurate identification and location due to added acoustic sensors. It can be installed on land vehicles or operated stationary.
First deliveries of the A422 C-UAS radar for Ukraine will take place this month.
US military satellites now can broadcast encrypted M-Code, so why do troops lack the receivers to use it?
C4 Planning Solutions could provide C4I support for Marine Air-Ground Task Force elements until 2032 if all options are exercised under its latest contract.
