GAJT-310: transforming GNSS signal protection in a jamming-prone world

GAJT-310: transforming GNSS signal protection in a jamming-prone world

In today’s interconnected world, the reliability of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals is paramount. These signals underpin almost every aspect of modern life, from navigation and communications to transportation, agriculture, the Internet and banking. GNSS signals are even more critical for military operations, facilitating everything from troop movements to precision weaponry. However, as geopolitical tensions escalate, the threat of GNSS signal jamming is becoming increasingly prevalent, posing a significant risk to our daily operations.

The rising threat of GNSS jamming

Whether malicious or unintentional, GNSS jamming disrupts the signals systems depend on for accurate timing and positioning. In an era where precision and reliability are non-negotiable, even a slight disruption can have cascading effects, jeopardizing everything from port security to communications infrastructure. As the instances of jamming rise, there is an urgent need for robust solutions that can be deployed quickly and efficiently to safeguard these critical infrastructures.

Trusted technology with a proven track record

Since its introduction in 2011, GNSS Anti-Jam Technology (GAJT) from Hexagon│NovAtel has been trusted by military forces worldwide. Its battle-tested history, integration support and manufacturing quality have made it reliable for protecting GNSS signals. The latest addition to the GAJT family, the GAJT-310 continues this legacy, offering a low size, weight and power (SWaP) commercially exportable technology that can be easily installed on land, sea or aerial platforms whether new or legacy fleets.

Unmatched performance in a compact package

Despite its small size, the GAJT-310 does not compromise on performance. It delivers the best protection per gram, making it an excellent choice for applications where weight is a critical factor. The system is designed to maintain perfect time synchronization across platforms and sensors which is crucial for operations that require precise timing coordination.

Additionally, the GAJT-310 offers direction-finding capabilities, enabling operators to identify jamming sources with up to 10 degrees of accuracy. This feature enhances situational awareness, allowing for more informed decision-making in the face of potential threats.

GAJT-310: a game-changer in anti-jam technology

The GAJT-310 represents a significant advancement in anti-jam technology. Designed to provide effective and immediate protection against GNSS signal jamming, it offers a low-latency solution that ensures seamless integration into existing systems. Latency, which refers to the delay in data transmission, is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of anti-jam solutions. The lower the latency, the quicker the system can respond to threats, maintaining the integrity and synchronization of operations.

With an impressive latency of just 30 nanoseconds, the GAJT-310 stands out by virtually eliminating the delay between detecting jamming and providing output to the receiver. This ultra-low latency means that operators do not need to perform complex calculations to adjust for delayed response times, allowing immediate protection and integration with other radios, receivers or electronic timing equipment.

Versatility and ease of integration

One of the GAJT-310’s standout features is its versatility. It is available in two configurations: an integrated enclosure and a federated solution. The integrated version combines the antenna and anti-jam electronics into a compact unit, making it perfect for small vehicles and autonomous platforms. This all-in-one design simplifies installation and reduces the overall footprint, ideal for applications where space and weight are at a premium.

On the other hand, the federated version separates the anti-jam electronics from the 3-element Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA), offering greater flexibility for integration into various platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This modular approach allows operators to customize the installation to meet specific operational requirements, ensuring optimal performance across different environments.

Hexagon’s commitment to delivering high-quality off-the-shelf products ensures short lead times, allowing operators to deploy the GAJT-310 when and where it’s needed most. The partnership with Antcom, a leader in communication and navigation antennas and part of Hexagon, further enhances the GAJT-310’s capabilities, providing custom antenna options for high-volume applications.
