GPS (Global Positioning System) and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) are basic technologies for positioning, navigation and time synchronization in the modern world. However, the critical role of these systems has attracted malicious actors and brought along threats such as signal distortion (jamming) and counterfeiting (spoofing). Developed to protect against such threats and secure the security of GPS / GNSS technology, GPS / GNSS Anti-Jam Systems shape the future of positioning technology.
Jamming Hazard
Jamming is a kind of attack that consciously disrupts or blocks GPS and GNSS signals. Such attacks can have serious consequences in many areas, from military operations to civil aviation. For example, civil aviation relies on GPS signals to coordinate the safe landing and take-off of aircraft. Jamming attacks can disrupt such critical systems and lead to dangerous consequences.
GPS / GNSS Anti-Jam Systems
GPS / GNSS Anti-Jam Systems are technological solutions developed to protect GPS and GNSS signals and provide reliable positioning. These systems have the following basic features:
Jamming Detection and Blocking: Anti-Jam systems detect signal distortions and can take automated measures against such threats.
Special Antenna Design: Special antennas reduce signal distortion and provide stronger signal reception.
Multiple GNSS Systems Support: Anti-Jam devices can work in harmony with multiple GNSS systems and become more resistant to jamming.
Security and Cryptography Layers: Some systems encrypt signals and add additional security measures, thus providing stronger protection against counterfeiting and jamming attacks.
Usage Areas
GPS / GNSS Anti-Jam Systems play a critical role for the safety and business continuity of many industries:
Military Applications: Anti-Jam technologies support reliable positioning, navigation and communication of military units.
Civil Aviation: Airplanes are dependent on GPS / GNSS systems for air traffic control and safe landing-take-offs.
Maritime: Anti-jam systems are required for ships to navigate safely.
Energy and Infrastructure: Energy transmission lines and telecommunications infrastructure are based on accurate time synchronization and positioning and therefore anti-jam systems are used.
GPS / GNSS Anti-Jam Systems are a critical tool to increase the security of positioning technology and protect against jamming threats. Continuous development and updating of these systems is important to maintain security against future threats and increase the reliability of positioning technology.
